Joe Manganiello shared new details about the storyline for the cancelled Ben Affleck version of\u00a0The Batman<\/em><\/strong>. According to Manganiello, the film would have revolved around a sinister plot orchestrated by DC Comics villain Deathstroke that is comparable to the machinations depicted in David Fincher’s The Game<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After portraying the Caped Crusader in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/em><\/a> and Justice League<\/em>, Affleck intended to reprise the role in a standalone film he wrote and directed. However, Affleck stepped away from the project as the writer and director\u00a0before ultimately retiring from the role of Batman in early 2019.<\/p>\n

Affleck’s version of The Batman<\/em> was slated to feature the villainous mercenary Deathstroke, whom Manganiello portrayed in a brief post-credits sequence featured in Justice League<\/em>. Unfortunately, Deathstroke was excised from the project when Matt Reeves signed on to direct The Batman<\/em><\/a> and retooled its story.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Manganiello provided insight into what Deathstroke had planned for Affleck’s caped crusader and what was motivating the villain in The Batman<\/em><\/a>. “It was a really dark story in which Deathstroke was like a shark or a horror movie villain that was dismantling Bruce’s life from the inside out,” Manganiello said.\u00a0“It was this systemic thing: He killed everyone close to Bruce and destroyed his life to try and make him suffer because he felt that Bruce was responsible for something that happened to him.”<\/p>\n

Manganiello will have another chance to portray Deathstroke as one of the actors involved in reshoots for Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League<\/em><\/a>. While Snyder had intended for the post-credits scene to set up Deathstroke’s appearance in Affleck’s Batman<\/em> film, the purpose of the sequence was reworked after Joss Whedon\u00a0oversaw reshoots that significantly altered Snyder’s vision. “They reshot all of Jesse’s dialogue to tease\u00a0Justice League Part 2<\/em>, which was going to be about the Injustice League,”\u00a0Manganiello said.\u00a0“All of that dialogue was about Batman originally, and it was changed to lines like ‘Shouldn’t we have a league of our own?'”<\/p>\n

Affleck will\u00a0reprise his role as Batman<\/a> at least one more time in Ezra Miller’s The Flash,\u00a0<\/em>a standalone film focused on the Scarlet Speedster that is partly inspired by the Flashpoint<\/em> comic book storyline. According to director\u00a0Andy Muschietti, the relationship between Affleck’s Bruce Wayne and Miller’s Barry Allen will be crucial to the\u00a0emotional impact of the\u00a0film.<\/p>\n

For those who may not be aware, Fincher’s The Game<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>is a 1997 thriller starring Michael Douglas as a wealthy banker who signs up to participate in what he believes to be a harmless game. However, the banker’s life starts to fall apart as the line between his life and the game becomes more uncertain.<\/p>\n

The Batman<\/em><\/strong> is currently scheduled to be released in theaters on March 4, 2022.<\/p>\n
