On August 22, 2013, Affleck was cast as Franchise/{{Batman}} in the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, appearing for the first time in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. He subsequently appeared in ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'' and ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'', then left the franchise to focus on personal issues, but agreed to return for additional scenes in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' and some scenes in ''Film/{{The Flash|2023}}'', thus he will go down as the actor who has played the Caped Crusader the most in live-action films (although always in crossover/ensemble films).

** One of the biggest cases in his career is without much doubt his solo ''Batman'' film for the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse that never came to be due to the franchise's neverending troubles. In it, the Caped Crusader would've confronted Creator/JoeManganiello's ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}.

* CreatorBreakdown: Had a big one between the release of ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and ''Film/{{The Way Back|2020}}''. The combination of the TroubledProduction of ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'', his highly publicized divorce with Creator/JenniferGarner, the ExecutiveMeddling and box office failure of ''Film/LiveByNight'' and re-emergence of his alcoholism forced him to step down from directing, and later writing and starring in, his solo Batman movie (in addition to massive CreativeDifferences with Creator/DCFilms), which was then [[Film/TheBatman2022 completely retooled]]. He did make a CreatorRecovery by going through rehab and mending fences with his family, and returned as Batman for some scenes in Creator/ZackSnyder's ''[[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague Justice League]]'' and in ''Film/{{The Flash|2023}}'', and has openly talked about his recovery process.

** He was the inaugural winner of the Razzie Redeemer Award during the 2014 Golden Raspberry Awards. At the time, it seemed to be specifically created to recognize Affleck's remarkable turnaround from being the butt of jokes to being an acclaimed film director, given the way they had a field day with him over ''Gigli''.
