As soon as Ben Affleck was officially announced as our new Caped Crusader in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, fans wondered if he might possibly helm a solo outing for the character at some point. Recently we heard rumors that he was being lined up to do just that, and now Deadline seems to have made it official: Ben Affleck will team up with Geoff Johns to write a Batman movie, which he will also direct as soon as work is complete on his adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel Live By Night. According to the site, the pair are "well in synch and have more than found their rhythm", and are expected to turn in a script before the end of the summer.
No release date is set, and plot details are obviously non-existent at this early stage - but it will most likely be set after the events of Dawn Of Justice, unless WB has yet another origin story in mind for the Dark Knight! Thoughts on this big news?

NOT confirmed. It's not from WB or Affleck or John's themselves, but from Deadline insider sources. Read the actual Deadline article.
Anyway, if this is true, which it likely will be, great, but I would have prefered him team up with Snyder for the writing instead of Johns as Snyder's Batman is pretty fucking amazing.

Okay, so it isn't confirmed... yet. But it might as well be, considering every credible website is posting this. But you're right, Yonny.
Also lol! For a second I thought you were talking about Zack Snyder.

I prefer Johns over Snyder, his Batman run is pretty hit or miss, Court of Owls and Zero Year were great but Death of The Family was shit and Endgame was just good.

Only Affleck can save this franchise now, despite Batman's actions in BvS.
