Ben Affleck "Ready And Waiting" To Return To The Snyderverse for Justice League Part II, On One Condition: "Batman Needs To Have Superman's Baby Instead"
The actor expressed frustration with a controversial aspect of Lois's pregnancy in the second draft script of the as yet undeveloped and predominantly unanticipated sequel, claiming during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live that there was "No narrative fulfillment" to Amy Adam's role of becoming a mother to Superman's child. "Not only that, but they imply that Kryptonians can't have kids with just anyone, they're too powerful. But Batman... He could do it. He could carry that kid to term. It works as an enemies to lovers arc, and it makes perfect sense from the powers of the League. He's fucking Batman."
Affleck has stated his refusal to work with Warner Brothers Discovery (soon to be a subsidiary of Paramount Network) unless his request is considered.
