Batman: Standalone Movie to Start Filming in 2020, Cast Still a Mystery

After Ben Affleck announced last year that he would withdraw from the filming of the "Batman" independent film and would no longer play Batman, the film has been repeatedly postponed and the main creators have been replaced. Today, Variety reporter Justin Kroll revealed on Twitter that the "Batman" independent film will not start shooting until 2020, and the next Batman candidate is still a mystery.

Justin Kroll, a reporter for Variety, said: "Here's a little news about Batman: It is said that the script is still in the polishing stage, and the shooting date is likely to be postponed from this fall to 2020, and the next Batman is still unknown."

Currently, the director of DC's "Batman" independent film will be Matt Reeves, the director of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and the script will also be polished by Matt Reeves. "Ben Affleck" will serve as the producer. Matt Reeves expressed his desire to find a younger actor (than Ben Affleck) to play "Batman".
