Long Form
THE BATMAN Has a Release Date and Is Officially Down One Ben Affleck
Warner Bros. has officially dated Matt Reeves’ “The Batman" for June 25, 2021.The studio has also dated a rebooted “The Suicide Squad" for Aug. 6, 2021, Robert Zemeckis’ “The Witches" for Oct. 16, 2020, and Stephen King’s “Doctor Sleep" for Nov. 8, 2019.
Ben Affleck will not be returning to play the Caped Crusader, which had been expected for some time, as Reeves will be handpicking the next Bruce Wayne.
Reeves is writing and directing the pic.
Not surprising given the “fresh start" vibe of the DC Comics movies as of late.
Also, is that confirmation that the James Gunn-directed Suicide Squad movie is a fresh start too?
