The live-action DC multiverse is continuing to evolve at a surprising rate, with canon and characters being subverted at a number of turns. The latest update in the franchise arrived on Thursday, with Aquaman star Jason Momoa confirming via social media that Ben Affleck will be reprising his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The news quickly sent parts of the DC fandom into a frenzy, especially those who have been wondering if Affleck could still have a long-term future in the role, after most recently reprising the part in Zack Snyder’s Justice League last year. Since the “Snyder Cut’s” debut, campaigns have ramped up to see more of Snyder’s previously-hinted continuity onscreen, including a potential solo project starring Affleck’s Batman. So, what could this Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom cameo mean for that going forward?
