Whether or not you like Ben Affleck as Batman, he may not be on the screen for much longer under that Batman cover. Speaking to USA Today, Affleck was quoted saying that he knows he can’t play the Batman part forever.

“You don’t do it forever so I want to find a graceful and cool way to segue out of it,” Affleck said. It’s interesting Affleck is already bringing up the idea of not wearing the Batman costume anymore because he’s only been doing it since 2016, but he’s been long restless in the role.

Affleck has gone as far as say that he’s “contemplating” appearing in 2018 Matt Reeves-directed film “The Batman.”

“Literally, the reason I took this movie is imagining wearing that costume and … I’ve got a little boy, and having my son see me,” he said. “Everybody wants their kid to think of them as a superhero, you know, before they get too smart.”

For now though, Affleck is focused on launching “Justice League,” which has Batman in it, of course. The movie is opening Nov. 17. Will you be there to watch it? Let us know in the comments below.
