Despite decidedly mixed reviews for his turn as the Caped Crusader in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, there was little reason to believe that Ben Affleck wouldn't get the chance to reprise the role of Bruce Wayne.

Today, Warner Bros. chief Kevin Tsujihara confirmed at CinemaCon that Affleck would both be starring in and directing a standalone Batman film which began being talked about in July of 2015.

According to Variety, "Warner Bros. had already planned a sprawling slate of movies in the DC universe through 2020, with Suicide Squad on deck. Also planned are Wonder Woman, Justice League Part One and Two, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash."
