Ben Affleck"s Cut Batman Cameo In Aquaman Revealed Almost 5 Years Later

:0:0

Summary

Ben Affleck's Batman cameo was originally planned for 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,' but it has now been removed from the movie.
Including the Justice League in 'Aquaman' would have taken away the spotlight from the main character and damaged his story arc.
Warner Bros. likely did not want to take any risks by including the Justice League in 'Aquaman' so soon after the controversial 'Justice League' movie.

Five years after Aquaman was released in theaters, Ben Affleck's Batman cameo gets revealed in new DCEU concept art. While Superman was the hero to start the DCEU, Aquaman will be the one to close out the franchise later this year with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. One of the things that was initially lined up for the December movie was a cameo by Affleck's Batman, but it is now not getting used at all, according to reports. However, it appears this part of the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom story was repeating an attempt by the original Aquaman movie.
In new concept art revealed by Ed Natividad, who worked on Aquaman as a conceptual vehicle designer and is a concept artist for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Affleck's Batman was going to show up alongside the DCEU Justice League during the battle against Ocean Master. In an earlier draft of Aquaman, Ocean Master and the three kingdoms would have had a fight inside a city, which can be seen below:

In the early versions of the Aquaman 2018 script, Ocean Master commands the 3 Kingdoms to join him in the invasion of the surface world. He is met with resistance from the JL.
