Is this the plot of the new solo Batman film?
The Dark Knight has been busy in recent years, with seven released features since 1989 as well as video games, animated TV series and more. And it doesn't look like he's retiring any time soon, with an appearance confirmed in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Ben Affleck is the man currently inhabiting the batsuit and the award winning filmmaker might also be behind the camera for a standalong Batman film in the next few years. That's all still a rumour at this stage, Affleck in particular hasn't committed, and it won't be on screens for at least three years as we gear up for Justice League and more.
