Ben Affleck sports the Batman of watches in recent photos in Los Angeles. While Batman doesn’t appear on the watch itself, that is its nickname. Per GQ:
The actor was recently seen in Los Angeles wearing the Rolex GMT-Master II with a black-and-blue bezel. While it’s not a Rolex-ordained name, the variation of the watch is known as the Batman among collectors.
Rolex.
In other words, probably only Bruce Wayne could afford it.

Still, it could be more evidence that the actor has truly got the hang of being the Caped Crusader for Warner Bros. Discovery. It’s no secret that he once considered the role very difficult to the point that it was burdensome for him.
Indeed, the actor was not exactly on Cloud 9 when they were shooting Justice League with director Joss Whedon. At the time, he wasn’t in a great emotional state. He even said that he suffered during the shoots of Justice League. However, things took a turn for his shoots with The Flash. The actor actually described the experience more positively. Unlike before, he then enjoyed himself portraying the role.
Ben Affleck did mention at the time that it would have been his last scenes as the Dark Knight. But as it happens with the entertainment industry, things change. Circumstances change. For WBD, top management changes. Soon, news about him appearing as Batman in the Aquaman sequel surfed to the surface. Jason Momoa posed with him on Instagram to confirm it. And the two of them delivered happiness to people.

Now news on the DC Films front may indicate massive refocusing of the Justice League and positioning them for theatrical release. WBD CEO David Zaslav is quickly taking steps to get films for the theater. His 10-year plan has to start somewhere.
The more people see, the more it seems that The Flash truly isn’t the last movie we will see Affleck as Batman. If his recent photo is any indication, he is channeling Wayne in his fashion sense.
A more touching piece of information is that Ben Affleck actually wore the Batman suit again. Not for a movie or a cameo, though. He wore it for his son’s birthday party. Imagine Batfleck at your birthday party. Well, that is one of the unique things that only Affleck’s kids will be able to enjoy. As for the rest of the world, we have a photo of him wearing the Batman Rolex. But we will get to see him back in DC very very soon.
