A new dynamic duo?
Remember all those rumours about Ben Affleck lending his writing talents to the script for a new standalone Batman movie? Turns out they were true. Well, almost. Those early whispers had Affleck writing alongside Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice scribe Chris Terrio, the two putting together a screenplay that Affleck would then go on to direct.
Well, according to Deadline, Affleck is indeed putting together a script. Terrio, however, is out of the picture --if, indeed, he was ever in it-- as Affleck's writing partner will be none other than DC Comics' chief creative officer Geoff Johns.
Johns, best known to comic-book aficionados for his ground-breaking runs on Teen Titans, Green Lantern and Aquaman, apparently struck a chord with Affleck, the two sharing a common creative vision for the character. Reportedly, the pair are already hard at work on the film's script.
If DC's packed release schedule is anything to go by, we'll have to wait until at least 2019 to enjoy the fruits of Affleck and Johns' labours. That may seem like a long time, but Batman fans hungry to see the Caped Crusader on the big screen will get plenty of chances to see the Dark Knight in action in Batman v Superman as well as the upcoming Justice League movie.
We're expecting more news on this exciting collaboration, among other things, to surface tomorrow during Warner Bros.' Batman v Superman panel.
