Ben Affleck's Batman has not had the best of luck, appearing in 2016's critically reviled films Batman v. Superman and Suicide SquadAs such, it was understandable when he said his next Batman movie was "not a set thing." That said, he's already changed his tune again, admitting that he's hard at work on the film.

The flick, which may or may not be called The Batman, will see Batfleck reprise his role as the dark knight while also taking over in the director's seat.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, Affleck said no one cared about his latest film Live By Night quite like they care about his next Batman film.

"With Batman I keep on getting the like, 'Where's the fucking Batman?'" he whined. "I'm like, 'Bro, I'm working, can you give me a second?'"

In other words, Ben Affleck is working on the new Batman movie. Until then, he just wants you to fucking chill, bro.
