Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ben Affleck never made a solo Batman movie in the DCEU, although an animated Arkham film released in 2014 comes close to what the filmmaker had planned. Following the actor’s casting in the DCEU timeline as Bruce Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck's celebrated career seemed to be leading to his directing and starring in a Batman film.
Batman: Assault On Arkham Is A Very Unique Dark Knight Movie Close Building on many of the same stories that were shaping up in the DCEU with the Suicide Squad, Batman: Assault on Arkham feels akin to Ben Affleck's plan for The Batman. In the animated movie, Amanda Waller assembles a Suicide Squad to break into Arkham Asylum and steal information from The Riddler. Featuring an enormous cast of characters, the movie is set in the DC animated universe but is based on the Arkham video games.
Batman: Assault On Arkham Has Notable Ties To Ben Affleck's DC Story Plans Close While Deathstroke isn't featured in Batman: Assault on Arkham, the film still resembles much of what Ben Affleck seemingly had planned for his Batman movie. Like both the animated movie and The Batman, Affleck's film was set to take place in an already realized universe. There would be many villains in the world, some of which The Dark Knight had faced, others which he had not yet.
Batman: Assault On Arkham Shows What The DCU Could Look Like Close The DC Universe appears to be following the pattern set up in Assault on Arkham by building a world big enough for dozens of characters to coexist. Without a single film yet released, and with only one being filmed, everything known about Superman and the DC universe has already confirmed an enormous cast that includes Supergirl, Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, Green Lantern, and many others.
