Last week Ben Affleck checked into a live-in rehab facility to deal with his alcohol addiction. There was speculation that this could be the end of his time as Batman from a health/personal level, but now experts have weighed in about financial reasons as well.
“More than likely the studio will replace him because the insurance costs are going to go through the roof,” a completion bond company representative told The Wrap.
He’s been trying to get out of this role for a while now. Not to mention he jumped in while his personal affairs were not locked down. Let him go because he doesn’t want it nor can he balance out his personal life and his work life. Also WB threw his Batman script in the trash. Why would he want to go back on the road as Batman again?
