With Ben Affleck officially finished in the role of Batman, there are a number of roles that the actor would be perfect for within the rebooted DC Universe. Ben Affleck's tenure as Batman may not have been long-lasting, but it certainly proved that the actor is more than capable of bringing an iconic comic book character to life in live action. Though Affleck's brooding Batman initially proved somewhat divisive, he was able to win over many fans with his dark and nuanced performance in the role of the DCEU's Dark Knight. However, with the DCEU being rebooted into the DCU, Affleck could return to play a very different role.
Of course, there's no guarantee that Affleck will return at all, but considering the popularity of his Batman, keeping the actor on board in a different role could appease some of the apprehension about the impending DCU reboot. The movies of the DCEU showcased Affleck's talent for bringing on-screen depth to characters adapted from the comics, and his previous credits also offer insight into the variety of roles he could potentially play. Though recasting Affleck into the DCU may be unlikely, his experience and continued popularity still make him a great choice. Here are 10 DC Universe characters that Ben Affleck can play now that he's done with Batman.

Affleck would actually prove an excellent casting choice for recurring Batman villain Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Shadows made immortal by his use of the Lazarus Pit. The character seems likely to appear in the DCU given James Gunn's choice to adapt The Brave and the Bold, and Affleck's casting could be a meta way of acknowledging his casting within DC Universes - like Ra's al Ghul, Affleck could make an unexpected return to life in the franchise.
9 Jonah Hex Jonah Hex may not be the most famous DC character, but James Gunn has already voiced his appreciation for the hero and teased his potential appearance in the DCU. Ben Affleck would be excellent in the role, as Hex's serious nature would perfectly suit Affleck's general acting style, with the actor's ability to inject deadpan humor into similarly dour roles already clearly displayed during his turn as Batman. What's more, Jonah Hex's 19th-century setting would also alleviate any potential confusion over his appearance in the rebooted DCU.
8 Lex Luthor He may not be the first actor that springs to mind as a villain, but Ben Affleck is no stranger to antagonistic roles in his movies. Films like Dogma and Runner Runner demonstrate Affleck's ability to play calculating and powerful villains, with his natural charisma making him a surprisingly sound choice to play Superman's greatest adversary. What's more, Affleck's huge Hollywood profile would seem fitting for a character of Lex Luthor's stature, making him an unorthodox but subtly perfect choice for the role in the DCU.
