Is It True That Ben Affleck’s Batman Scenes Were Cut From Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom?
According to a source, Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman scenes in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom were trimmed.

Is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Rated Poorly?
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom had almost six test screenings, but the film still did not look great. The source said, “I’ve consistently heard over the last half year or so that it’s boring, not as good as the first, and potentially one of the worst DCEU movies.”

The film stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry/Aquaman, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm Marius, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as David Kane/Black Manta, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, and Nicole Kidman as Atlanna.
