Jason also dropped a video, where one could see Affleck in his costume and makeup as Bruce Wayne. The official handle of DC comics reacted to Momoa's post and wrote, "Legends."

While Affleck had almost given up the superhero mantle, he was supposed to return to direct and star in a standalone Batman film. However, the project was reworked into Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which saw Robert Pattinson take on the role.
Ben will also be returning as the caped crusader in the upcoming Flash movie, which was supposed to release in November 2022 but has been pushed to June 2023. The project has been facing a lot of problems, especially with Ezra Miller's repeated public altercations and allegations levelled against him.
