Could Ben Affleck be about to suit up again to play Batman?

Well judging by the latest pics of the actor, a return as The Dark Knight could well be on the cards.

Affleck was spotted out and about in LA looking incredibly buff, like Batman-style buff, after lying low for the past couple of months.

But it's still not been confirmed whether or not we'll see Affleck as the caped crusader once again.

Affleck was meant to play the hero in a standalone movie titled The Batman, which he was once slated to direct before he confirmed that he would not be going behind the camera and instead Matt Reeves would be directing.

Since then the issue of Affleck's future as Batman has been pretty confusing.

In July The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Reeves had turned in a draft of The Batman's first act to Warner Bros that is all about a younger Dark Knight.

But then just last week Affleck was photographed by paparazzi, apparently off to meet with Warner Bros executives.

Affleck's future as Batman was also put in doubt after the recent shake-up in DC Films' top team, which signalled a potential new era for the Batman arc.

But whatever happens, one thing's for sure – Ben Affleck is back in peak shape, Batsuit or no Batsuit.

Justice League, Batfleck's last outing (or not), is out now on DVD or Blu-ray.
