HOLLYWOOD, July 9 (UPI) -- Batman's future on the big screen has largely been a mystery since director Christopher Nolan wrapped up his Dark Knight trilogy three years ago. Now, it appears Warner Bros will continue the series -- possibly as early as 2018.
Deadline reported Thursday that the studio will allow actor Ben Affleck to star in and direct the next installment. Affleck is already playing the role of the Caped Crusader in next year's Batman v. Superman.
