Developments for "Justice League 2" have been delayed as Warner Bros. shifts its focus to a solo "Batman" movie, sources reveal. According to reports, the "Justice League" sequel, which was originally planned for 2019, has been pushed back to make room for Ben Affleck's "The Batman."

"Justice League," the first DC Comics movie with the superhero ensemble all wrapped in one, is still up for a Fall 2017 screening. The film, which stars Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher, has wrapped up filming in the UK in October, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

To celebrate the last day of filming, "Justice League" director Zack Snyder shared 90 seconds of footage from the upcoming superhero movie.

Snyder and the rest of the "Justice League" cast and crew were supposed to begin working on "Justice League 2," but pre-production has been postponed to make way for Affleck's standalone "Batman" movie.

Affleck, who's starring and directing the movie, announced that the movie is tentatively titled "The Batman."

"The movie I think is going to be called The Batman. At least that's what we're going with now. I might change it," Affleck said about the film. "We're working on the script. The script is going well. I'm really excited about it."

"The Batman" will also star Joe Manganiello as the villain Deathstroke, DC Entertainment president Geoff Johns confirms with The Wall Street Journal. Manganiello was considered for other roles in the DC Extended Universe before landing Deathstroke. Snyder was eyeing him for the role of Superman before Cavill was cast. He was also considered to play the Dark Knight before the role was given to Affleck.

Although there's no release date for the "Batman" standalone movie yet, it is presumed to take the 2019 slot originally scheduled for "Justice League 2."

The "Justice League 2" delay left an opening in Snyder's schedule, allowing him to work on a smaller-scale film titled "The Last Photograph." The project has long been gestating and has been in development since mid-2000s.

"The Last Photograph" follows the story of a war correspondent in Afghanistan who is the sole survivor of an attack against a group of Americans.

"Justice League" will premiere on Nov. 17, 2017.
