He seems to be handling this very graciously, but I guess I ‘m a little confused about him saying he ‘s no longer going to play Batman because, I dunno, it almost feels like he never really started? Although he appeared in Justice League, Batman v. Superman, and briefly in Suicide Squad, unlike the Caped Crusaders who came before him Affleck never had a standalone Batman film.
A lot of people seem to feel the same way, and the reactions to his departure have been a mixed bag

Some thought his time as Batman was appropriate
I ‘m a long way away from caring who plays Batman anymore but I always felt Ben Affleck was the grumpy divorced dad Batman this moment in time deserved

And there ‘s already some suggestions for who should take over…
… which we ‘re totally on board with
and whether it ‘s Michael Cera or Will Arnett, it looks like the people want the next Bats to be a Bluth
