Ben Affleck’s Batman was all but gone after Justice League’s Snyder cut. In the near future, however, he will guest star in two DC movies: first Aquaman 2, then The Flash. This comes as a surprise, because although immensely popular with many DC fans, Affleck has always been controversial in the fandom. Batfleck emotionalized and a few days ago even became
