Ben Affleck's upcoming Batman solo movie will be entitled simply The Batman.

The Argo filmmaker announced the title during an interview promoting his latest film The Accountant, but didn't let any other details slip.

"That's what we're going with at the moment, but I might change it," says Affleck.

"We're working on the script, the script is going well and I'm really excited about it."

The Batman is being directed and co-written by Affleck, who will reprise his role as the Caped Crusader.

The film will also star Jeremy Irons as Alfred and JK Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, with Joe Manganiello as Slade Wilson / Deathstroke.

Its simplistic title may be Warner Bros reacting to negative responses to the much longer title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, released earlier this year.

Affleck will next be in cinemas as Batman again in Justice League, which is set for a November 2017 release.
