Ben Affleck’s Canceled Batman Movie Concept Art Reveals His Updated Suit
Audiences who wonder what Ben Affleck's take on The Batman would have been now have a new treat in the form of concept art for his planned suit. In 2013 Affleck signed on to play Bruce Wayne in the DCEU in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, as well as a new solo Batman film that Affleck was set to direct. Affleck would eventually step down from directing and starring in the project and is set to reprise his role in The Flash for what is likely his final turn in the DCEU.
In the years since the movie fell apart, a few details have come out about Affleck's plan for his Batman movie. The most common piece of knowledge was that Deathstroke (Joe Manganiello) would have been the primary villain and according to Manganiello, Deathstroke would have killed one of Batman's major supporting characters. Matt Reeves revealed that Warner Bros. sent him Affleck's script, which the director likened to a James Bond film, before passing on the project in favor of his own take on the material, which eventually made it to screens as The Batman.

It appears Affleck's Batman was also set to get a whole new costume as artist Keith Christensen revealed original concept art for Affleck's Batman film. The suit marks a slight change from the cloth look seen in Zack Snyder's DC films, which themselves were heavily drawn from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Christensen is credited as a concept artist on The Batman, and also worked as one on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
