Without including the possible Ben Affleck directed/starring Batman solo film, there are at least 34 superhero movies coming out between 2016 and 2020.

Affleck hasn’t really spoken about the spin-off before, yet substantial rumours have been circulating that it could reach cinemas sooner rather than later.

Finally, the actor has revealed that it is development, going as far as to hint it may be the next film he works on as a director.

“There’s definitely willingness and a will and a desire to make a [standalone] Batman movie on the part of Warner Brothers”, he told Entertainment Weekly.

“It’s in development, and right now I’m really focused on finishing Live By Night. That’s where my focus is, and I tend to be a one movie at a time guy. So, when I’m finished with this movie, I’ll then focus on my next movie and figure out what that will be”

Affleck will appear as The Dark Knight in the upcoming film Batman v Superman, as well as making a cameo in Suicide Squad. It was recently revealed that director Zac Snyder attempted to get Christian Bale back for Batman v Superman.
