Ben Affleck Says Batman Film is "Right on Track"

Ben Affleck was out recently, speaking about his upcoming film, Live by Night, in which he starred as well as directed, produced and wrote the script. He briefly discussed his other, more high profile film to be released, The Batman.

"We're on the right track with that and everything is coming together. We're still finishing up a script. I'm very excited", said Affleck.

Doing a Batman film is a pretty big deal, considering the amazing films that have already been released, but Affleck is taking it in stride.

"I respect all of those [Batman] movies," said Affleck. "Christopher Nolan did an incredible job, Christian Bale did an incredible job, Tim Burton did an incredible job. At a certain point you have to look forward and try to believe in your own vision for it and not be looking over your shoulder the whole time. I go into that movie with a tremendous amount of respect for the people who came before me."
