The Batman casting details have remained heavily secretive. Initially, Ben Affleck was going to direct and star in this version of the Batman.

Ben Barnes is no stranger to comic book adapted media. Ben Barnes recently starred in two seasons of The Punisher as Billy Russo/Jigsaw, Frank Castle’s biggest arch nemesis. As Jigsaw, Ben Barnes played a sinister villain ready to take his hero off the streets. He has also played a hero. Ben Barnes portrayed Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia series as well as Dorian Gray in Dorian Gray. Fans initially speculated Ben Barnes was a potential candidate to play the next Batman, but since that role is taken by Robert Pattinson, a role as Nightwing could still give Ben Barnes some involvement with DC films.
