Affleck was a popular choice for the role, and he was attached to write and direct a solo Batman movie, but left the project, citing his desire to expand into roles outside of the DC Extended Universe. As a result, Matt Reeves took over directing duties and cast Robert Pattinson in the upcoming The Batman. But fans still hold out hope Affleck will return to the role, especially in light of the fact that Michael Keaton will be reprising his version of the character in The Flash alongside Ezra Miller, despite Affleck reiterating he won't play Batman again earlier this year. And now, digital artist BossLogic has revealed what a teaser poster for a potential Batfleck solo film could look like if it were to premiere on HBO Max, which will be releasing the Snyder Cut of Justice League. The moody poster uses the HBO logo to illuminate the bat signal, as it hovers above the skyline of Gotham, with Affleck's Batman standing on a rooftop in the foreground. You can see the poster below.
