Rumors have been swirling around about Ben Affleck possibly leaving the Batman franchise but he quickly dispelled those rumors as the Justice League panel at Comic-Con.

Affleck said, "Batman is the coolest f*cking part in any universe. I am so thrilled to do it. It is f*cking amazing. After two films, Kevin Tsujihara, Sue Kroll and Toby Emmerich have said, ‘We want you to be our Batman.' I would be an ape on the ground for Matt Reeves. It's a great time in the DC universe, and you can see why I am so excited to play Batman."

"The Batman" is slated for a 2019 release.

Countdown to the release of The Batman, with The Movie Hype App.
