3 Jul – Just when fans thought they'd never see Ben Affleck as Batman, or Batfleck, as his portrayal of the character is referred to, there's a new rumour circulating now that he has signed a deal to reprise the superhero role. The rumour first appeared in 4Chan in May and most recently, The Cultured Nerd and LightCast on YouTube also claim the same, according to Cosmic Book News. Reportedly, Batfleck's return was made possible thanks to the confirmation of "Zack Snyder's Justice League's" release on HBO Max. The movie, also known as the Snyder Cut, will premiere on the streaming platform next year.
