Ben Affleck Said “Anything’s Possible”—And Y’all Lost Your Minds Again
Here we go again.
Ben Affleck says three vague words—“anything is possible”—and suddenly the Snyder Cult is doing backflips like it's 2021 all over again. I swear, you guys heard those words and acted like Affleck just signed on for Justice League Part II: Electric Boogaloo.
Let’s set the stage: someone casually asks Affleck if he might return as Batman. The man, probably walking to grab a coffee or dodge paparazzi, replies with the safe, noncommittal “you never know... anything is possible.” And boom—the Bat-signal goes off in the Snyder fandom sky.
Cue the tweets, cue the conspiracy threads, cue the low effort YouTube thumbnails with “HE’S BACK” in red Impact font.
But let’s be honest, folks. He’s not back. He’s being polite. That’s all.
“So You’re Saying There’s a Chance?”
Look, I get it. Hope is a hell of a drug. Y’all are basically Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber—“So you’re telling me there’s a chance?” And sure, technically, anything is possible. Multiverse. Elseworlds. Flashpoint. We've seen crazier things.
But you know what’s also possible? Me becoming the next Green Lantern. Doesn’t mean it's likely.
Why Ben Gave That Answer (Hint: It’s Not Deep)
Back in 2018, Affleck was done. Cooked. He went on Jimmy Kimmel, took off the cape, and said "I'm not Batman." And honestly, the man looked relieved.
But then, Flash came around. He filmed scenes. Then a cameo for Aquaman that never saw the light of day. So now, when someone asks, “Could you be Batman again?” he’s not going to say “Absolutely not.” Because last time he said that, he still came back.
It’s called learning from experience. It’s also called keeping your options open without committing to a damn thing.
Snyder Cult Mental Gymnastics, Again
And yet… the usual suspects showed up.
You’ve got people like Lethal Geeks and the other click-hungry crusaders throwing confetti like this is some kind of gotcha moment for Gunn fans. Like saying “anything’s possible” somehow undoes everything Affleck himself has literally said on record.
Like, remember when he openly said he didn’t want to direct anything for DC under James Gunn?
Remember when he said he hated wearing the Batsuit?
Those weren’t “hit pieces.” That was Affleck talking. That was Ben being honest. Just because Variety reported it doesn’t mean it's fake news—it’s news because he said it.
Gunn, Snyder, and Why This Isn’t Happening
Let’s hit some cold, hard logic:
Ben Affleck is doing other things now. Directing, acting, running a company. He’s not exactly clearing his schedule for another Bat-brawl.
James Gunn is building a DCU from scratch. You think he’s going to derail all that to play SnyderVerse cleanup crew?
Zack Snyder’s got multiple projects play with. He’s not lurking in the shadows waiting for Zaslav or Safran to call.
And let’s not forget—DC isn’t a charity. It’s a business. Bringing back Affleck or Snyder in 2025 for a nostalgia trip doesn’t help the new DCU; it confuses the hell out of the audience.
Could It Happen? Technically? Sure.
If six months from now Affleck cameos in some multiverse crossover, would I be shocked? Nah.
If two years from now Warner Bros. greenlights Snyder to wrap his arc in an Elseworlds film? Okay, sure—stranger things have happened.
But right now?
There is zero actual evidence that any of this is happening. The “chance” is microscopic. But people cling to it like it’s gospel.
Final Word
Ben Affleck saying “anything is possible” isn’t news. It’s PR autopilot. It’s literally the least committal thing a celebrity can say without looking rude.
So no, this isn’t a gotcha moment.
No, this isn’t proof the SnyderVerse is coming back.
And no, Gunn fans and DCU supporters don’t owe you an apology.
The DCU is moving forward. You can either come along for the ride, or keep shouting “Release the SnyderVerse” into the void. Your call.
But let’s be real...
Ben Affleck is done.
Zack Snyder has moved on.
And “anything is possible” doesn’t mean everything is happening.
Let me know what you think below. But please—for the love of Gotham—don’t come at me with “but what if.” I’ve heard it all before.
And yes, I’ll say it one more time:
Anything’s possible.
Just don’t confuse possible with probable.
