The original Aquaman movie was supposed to have a cameo by Ben Affleck's Batman as new concept art has revealed what the DCEU movie had in store.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 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.
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 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. Why Aquaman Was Right To Cut The Justice League As exciting as it would have been to have seen the Justice League in Aquaman, it was the wiser decision to cut them all out. For starters, this was Arthur Curry's first solo movie, after Warner Bros. had spent years trying to get this project to happen.
It's also worth remembering that Aquaman came out after Justice League in 2017, with the team-up film becoming one of the most controversial movies for the DCEU timeline. Not only was it a box office disaster, but Justice League became a bigger nightmare in terms of the controversies surrounding Joss Whedon's reshoots when he took over for Zack Snyder. As such, having the Justice League in Aquaman so soon after the 2017 installment was likely a risk that Warner Bros.
It's ironic that after the attempt in Aquaman, DC tried to have another cameo by Affleck's Batman in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, only for it to get removed altogether. However, the circumstances are different in this case, as the Aquaman sequel is coming out right after The Flash, which has left the fate of Affleck's Batman up in the air, making a subsequent appearance in the DCEU only likely to confuse audiences.
