In a shocking turn of events that has left fans of the Dark Knight reeling, DC Comics and Warner Bros. have once again managed to upset the applecart when it comes to Ben Affleck’s farewell as Batman. Just when it seemed that Affleck’s swan song as the Caped Crusader was back on track, DC has thrown a curveball that has left fans bewildered.

This latest twist in the saga of Ben Affleck’s Batman farewell follows a rollercoaster of events dating back to his initial portrayal in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” After a mixed response to his performance in that film, Affleck’s future as the Bat seemed uncertain. However, he returned in “Justice League” in 2017, but a troubled production and a lukewarm reception added more uncertainty to his tenure.

The rollercoaster ride continued when it was announced that Ben Affleck would once again don the Batsuit for the upcoming film, “The Flash.” Fans rejoiced at the prospect of seeing Affleck’s Batman one last time, offering closure to his character arc. But now, DC has thrown a wrench into those plans yet again.

The bombshell came in the form of an official announcement from DC Comics that they will be releasing a new comic book series titled “Batman: Resurgence.” This series is set to explore a new storyline featuring Ben Affleck’s Batman and will be considered canonical in the DC Universe. While fans are excited about more adventures with Affleck’s Batman, they can’t help but wonder if this will be a suitable farewell for the character.

The timing of this announcement has left many fans scratching their heads. With “The Flash” film still in production, it seemed like DC was finally giving Ben Affleck the send-off he deserved on the big screen. However, this comic book series has raised questions about whether Affleck’s farewell in “The Flash” will be undercut by this new storyline.

DC Comics has a history of embracing multiple universes and parallel storylines, and this is not the first time they have explored alternate versions of beloved characters. However, the decision to launch a new canonical Batman series with Affleck’s portrayal while his film farewell is still in the works has left fans divided.

Some fans are excited about the prospect of more Batman stories featuring Affleck, believing that this will allow for a more satisfying conclusion to his Batman arc. Others are concerned that the comic book series may overshadow the emotional impact of his final appearance in “The Flash.”

As the news of “Batman: Resurgence” spreads across social media, fans are expressing a mix of excitement, frustration, and curiosity about what this means for Ben Affleck’s Batman farewell. Only time will tell if DC’s decision to explore new stories with this version of Batman will enhance or diminish the long-awaited farewell that fans have been anticipating. One thing is for sure: the world of DC Comics continues to be full of surprises, and the Bat-Signal will keep shining on Ben Affleck’s Batman for the foreseeable future.
