Sure, Batman was going to be a big part of both Batman vs. Superman and the two Justice League movies, but would Batfleck be getting his own trilogy, a la The Dark Knight? It turns out, yes, yes he will. Latino Review is reporting that Ben Affleck will both star in and direct the spinoff, titled The Batman, which is set for November 2018.
Los Angeles Clippers' center, DeAndre Jordan got a chance to take the Warner Brother's Studio Tour and check out all the Batman exhibits, including a first look at the all new Batmobile from the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.
There have been so many different Batmobiles over the years, there are numerous websites dedicated to them. But what happens when you put the 1966 Batmobile from the Adam West television series in a race against the 1989 Batmobile from the Tim Burton movies?
