Rumor: Batman to appear in Suicide Squad

Warner Bros. upcoming super-villain party, Suicide Squad, might be adding another cast member to the mix. Rumor has it that Ben Affleck will appear in the film as Batman and it will act as a setup to his own solo movie.

Forbes reported the rumor stating that Batman will appear "in the flesh" and the scene will most likely be shared with The Joker (Jared Leto). Also hinted is that this acts as a precursor for a future solo Batman movie featuring The Joker, and potentially Harley Quinn, as the villains.
Warner Bros. hasn't given a date or even a major hint about a solo Batman movie, but there are more rumors that the inevitable Batman film will be based off Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.

Suicide Squad opens in theaters on August 5, 2016.
