Ben Affleck’s “Batman” days may be over, reported entertainment industry site Thewrap.com, which was told by industry insiders that costs to insure the actor post-rehab may be too steep for the studio.
Mr. Affleck has made headlines recently over his struggles with substance abuse and is reportedly in a rehabilitation program now — his third stint in the last two decades.
Warner Bros. is slated for another “Batman” film, calling into question Mr. Affleck’s role.
