Deadpool & Wolverine: Ben Affleck Batman Rumor False

Deadpool & Wolverine: Ben Affleck Batman Rumor False

The Deadpool & Wolverine rumor that Ben Affleck will appear as Batman from the DC films universe is false.

Following last week when a big rumor hit that Ben Affleck is in talks to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and not as Daredevil – it has been claimed that the MyTimeToShineHello Twitter account stated Ben Affleck is appearing as Batman in Deadpool & Wolverine.

However, the MyTimeToShineHello Twitter account is stating he or she never said that and goes so far as to say Ben Affleck isn’t even going to appear in Deadpool & Wolverine.

“LOL I wish but no, I didn’t say that. Affleck is not in the movie as anything,” tweeted the account.

What is going on?

So what is happening is that both the MyTimeToShineHello and CanWeGetToast Twitter accounts are charging fans for “scoops.” Well, some of those subscribers have been posting the “exclusive scoops” on Twitter so other fans don’t have to pay the money.

Apparently, now fake scoops from other Twitter users are being posted which are said to be by the above “scoopers,” but they’re not, they are falsely being attributed to the aforementioned accounts, such as the Ben Affleck Batman in Deadpool & Wolverine rumor.

Guess what that means? You now have to subscribe to learn the real rumors. What a coincidence (lol).

Affleck f’d over too many times

Regarding Ben Affleck and Batman, it’s my understanding those days are over, as Affleck has gotten f’d over too many times.

There’s the Justice League fiasco, the fiasco about his solo The Batman movie, and recently, the fiasco surrounding The Flash.

As I went over from my own insiders – all for free – the original plan for The Flash movie was to have Affleck appear at the end and launch a Batman Multiverse where Affleck would have done his Batman movie, Michael Keaton would have done Batman Beyond, etc.

Then it all went to shit (again), and that’s also why Affleck basically told Gunn to go fly a kite.
