Ben Affleck Apparently Getting Ready To Exit DCEU

The will he/won't he saga of Ben Affleck's Batman return seems to be coming to a close, with most people already assuming that the role will be recast with a younger actor when Matt Reeves' The Batman heads into production. This week, yet another rumor suggesting Affleck's DC exit has started making its rounds online.

This latest nail in the Batfleck coffin comes from Forbes contributor Mark Hughes, who has been known to have an inside track to DC movie news. Hughes has said before, in articles and otherwise, that he believes Affleck is out as Batman, but a couple of recent tweets cast even more doubt on the actor's future with the franchise.
