Ben Affleck is set to debut at Batman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and there already rumors that he may direct Warner Bros.' next Batman solo movie, in addition to starring in it.

When asked about the film, Affleck responded by saying that a Batman film is in development at the studio, but it's not really something he's thinking about just yet.

"There's definitely willingness and a will and a desire to make a Batman movie on the part of Warner Brothers," Affleck told EW. "It's in development, and right now I'm really focused on finishing Live By Night. That's where my focus is, and I tend to be a one movie at a time guy. So, when I'm finished with this movie, I'll then focus on my next movie and figure out what that will be."

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.
