Ben Affleck Has Written The Script For The Solo 'Batman' Movie

Last week the internet got a good laugh when the Sad Affleck meme picked up steam following the critical crushing received by "Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice," with the actor's glum face becoming the avatar of the film's bad reviews.

And one more thing: Affleck already has a solo Batman script in the can.

It's a surprise to hear the news, given that when asked during the press rounds for 'Batman v Superman' if he'd suit up and star and possibly direct a solo Batman flick, he's given variations of the stock "if-the-script-is-good-and-I-can-fit-it-in-my-schedule" answer.
