Why Was Ben Affleck’s Batman Cut From Aquaman 2?

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, the updates on the film indicate a significant alteration and that is the complete removal of any involvement of Affleck’s Batman in the movie.

Aquaman 2 has recently completed its extensive third round of reshoots, to align the film with the constantly shifting dynamics of the franchise. Sources reveal that both Affleck and Michael Keaton, renowned for their own portrayals of Batman, were initially involved with the project.

Insiders reveal that the motivation behind these choices was made by James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are keen on avoiding the shared universe before the new phase comes to life fully, a mistake that significantly plagued the DC Extended Universe throughout the years prior to the ‘rebirth’.
