The upcoming Batman solo flick may not be a straight-up adaptation of the 'Arkham Asylum' video game or Grant Morrison's comic 'Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth'.

AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck's "Batman" will likely not take place entirely in Arkham Asylum. A new report has emerged online, suggesting that Arkham will only play a smaller role despite the spreading rumor back in July that the upcoming Batman solo movie might be a straight-up adaptation of the "Arkham Asylum" video game or Grant Morrison's graphic novel "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth".
Umberto Gonzalez of Heroic Hollywood tweeted on Sunday, September 18, "The standalone film DOES NOT take place entirely in Arkham with all the villains on the loose." If the report turned out to be true, fans could not see the Caped Crusader being locked up and battling his foes in the psychiatric hospital.
What scoop can I give you on #BatmanDay? The standalone film DOES NOT take place entirely in Arkham with all the vaillains on the loose.

The new "Batman" movie is directed and co-written by Affleck. It is expected to hit theaters in 2018. Plot details are still kept under wraps, but it's been confirmed that "Magic Mike" actor Joe Manganiello is tapped to portray the formidable Deathstroke.
Before appearing in his solo film, the Caped Crusader will fight the bad guys along with Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa's Aquaman, Ezra Miller's The Flash and Ray Fisher's Cyborg in "Justice League" which is set for a November 17, 2017 release in U.S. theaters..
