Ben Affleck is done with the DC universe. The multi-hyphenate talent has severed all ties with the franchise except his cameo in the upcoming ‘The Flash‘ movie. During his appearance on the podcast ‘Smartless,’ he talked about Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman cameo that got left out of the final movie.

The scene in discussion involved both him and Wonder Woman. From what Affleck told the hosts, it could have been a rare moment of vulnerability on Batman’s part played for a comedic effect. Hopefully, his farewell to DC ends on a high note. Outside DC, he is currently doing the promotional rounds for his upcoming directorial venture ‘Air.’
