Ben Affleck has revealed a potential name for his solo Batman movie. Talking to Associated Press, during a press junket for The Accountant Affleck has suggested that the movie will simply be titled The Batman. He says he “might change it”, but that’s what he’s going with for now. He goes on to say that the script is going well.

The news follows last month’s confirmation that Joe Manganiello will indeed appear in Ben Affleck’s solo Batman film as the villainous Deathstroke. J.K. Simmons (who also appears alongside Affleck in The Accountant) will also be appearing as Commissioner Gordon. Other than that though, not much else is known about the movie, as Affleck kept his lips sealed during press junkets for The Accountant.

What do you think of The Batman as the title for the movie? We’re actually rather taken with it – simple, but effective.
