John Campea says Ben Affleck wants to leave The Batman Role.

All I saw was Campea saying that we should take that with a grain of salt and that he have been wrong before. Stop spreading bad rumors.

Sounds like out of date information. Ben didn't want to direct it anymore, and a lot of people took that as him wanting to quit the role. Which turned out to be false. And now apparently the script is satisfactory, despite rumors of a total rewrite.

I'm betting he quits. Soon, we'll get word that Matt Reeves wants to make some adjustments to the script. They'll tell us that production won't start until 2018. After JL comes out, we'll finally get word that Affleck isn't even starring in The Batman. They'll say that they wanted to do a prequel that features a younger Batman (maybe Armie Hammer).

This is my prediction.

it sounds like Campea throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. if the worst happens and the entire DC movie slate is scrapped.. i guess that would make for an interesting story for his show at least until the next MCU or Star Wars movie comes out.

it would be strange to reboot.. which characters do they get rid of? complete and total reboot which could take possibly another decade or a soft reboot where they keep Gal,Henry,Jeremy & Jared?

I'm not worried about Batman because the WB always figures out how to push a Batman movie out into the universe (good or bad). the movie that they should be focused on instead is The Flash which was supposed to come next year. DC still has an open date where The Flash was supposed to go.. so how do they fill it?

Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.

Then it must be true.

Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man? 

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he did. The stress, pressure and probably nervous breakdowns of hearing Batman questions every 5 minutes already sent him running as fast as he can from the director's chair. IMO, I think he is scared to death of doing The Batman, literally.

His biggest fear is starring in a Batman film that is deemed a monumental failure and having to hear about it for the rest of his life, the taunts and angry fans that would let him know about it and because of that, he may play the role differently, maybe safer than he would otherwise.

Where as if a newcomer were cast, a fresh face that could take over the role with nothing to lose would go for broke and really let it all go. Perhaps an opportunity to get an alternate universe Batman a chance, Terry McGinnis Batman Beyond live action.

If he does then I've completely lost respect for him not because he's leaving but just because of how dishonest he'll have been.

You don't say "I'm still fully committed to this project" if you're planning on completely quitting lol.

What a dick move.

If true then that will be very disappointing, and a complete lack of perseverance on Affleck's part.
