However, this would be the first major recasting for the DCEU, and it would be their most popular superhero to boot. Make no mistake, Affleck leaving would be a major blow to this franchise, so if there's any truth to these claims, one would imagine Warner Bros would try their best to keep him on board. Of course, assuming Affleck sticks around for the Batman movie, he'll have played the character in four movies (five if the Wonder Woman rumors are true), so it's not like he was shortchanged with leaving his mark on the Dark Knight.
