After the four-year-long #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign, fans of Zack Snyder's DCEU expressed their renewed interest in a solo film featuring Ben Affleck's Batman, courtesy of his most recent appearance in Zack Snyder's Justice League, the four-hour-long superhero film that is considered to be the director's Magnum Opus. For a handful of days now, the hashtag #MakeTheBatfleckMovie has been trending on the micro-blogging site, indicating that the fans now want to see Ben Affleck's troubled billionaire-turned-caped crusader in the film which was scrapped post the release of the 2017 version of the superhero ensemble feature. One of the reasons why fans have been demanding the same is the finale scene of Zack Snyder's Justice League, which saw Ben Affleck's batman have a face-to-face conversation with Jared Leto's Joker. Another reason for the same being the need for closure for the fans of the DCEU with regards to the vigilante's character arc in the shared cinematic universe.
