He's hanging up his bat suit!
Ben Affleck spent his Valentine's Day sitting down with Jimmy Kimmel for an interview, and the actor talked all about his exit from the Batman franchise.
“I tried to direct a version of it and worked with a really good screenwriter but just couldn’t come up with a version — I couldn’t crack it and so I thought it’s time for someone else to take a shot at it. They got some really good people so I’m excited," he told the late night host.
In other news, the Boston hunk and his ex Lindsay Shookus are reportedly talking again, and it sounds like it won't be long before they're back together.
"They've known each other for years and there have been other periods of time where they didn't speak. But they always seem to end up talking again," a source dished to E! News.
The SNL producer might have to wait a while for things to get romantic again, though, because part of the Oscar winner's sobriety includes a year long period of celibacy to work through his issues.
"[Ben] is taking a year off from dating which includes no sex. No romantic entanglement means no distractions. It’s tough, but Ben knows he needs to focus on his mental state and physical health right now,†an insider told Life & Style.
We're just happy he's on a better path following a rough couple of months.
