The new Batman movie will be released in 2021. Ben Affleck confirms he will not play Batman

Today, foreign media Deadline reported that the new "Batman" independent film will be released on June 25, 2021, directed by Matt Reeves, and Ben Affleck will not play Batman because a younger actor is needed now. Ben Affleck then confirmed the news by forwarding it on Twitter. He said he "looks forward to seeing "Batman" in the summer of 2021 and seeing Reeves' idea come true."

Ben Affleck thinks he is not the right person for the new Batman movie, and he has been very busy lately, so he has no choice but to withdraw. Warner will look for another actor to play Batman.

In addition, Deadline also confirmed that the "Batman" independent film will not be based on Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One" comic, although this comic is Matt Reeves' favorite and it also inspired Nolan to create the "Batman" series of films.
