Now thatDie Hardis officially a Christmas movie, pop star John Mayer is claiming thatThe Accountantis actually aBatmanmovie that tells Bruce Wayne’s origin story. On the surface,The AccountantandBatmanonly share one thing, which is actor Ben Affleck. But, Mayer was able to unearth some pretty convincing evidence to back up his theory and many of his followers on social media are standing in his corner, trying to spread the truth aboutThe AccountantandBatman. Has John Mayer cracked some kind of Hollywood code?
Ben Affleckportrays a math savant inThe Accountantwho is hired to uncook the books for a new client as the Treasury Department closes in on his activities. It becomes violent as Affleck’s Christian Wolff uses some heavy guns to defend himself and attack others, which isn’t outside of Batman’s wheelhouse based on his controversialBatman v Supermanstance on killing. For many, that’s where the similarities end, but according toJohn Mayer, they’ve barely scratched the surface of this impossible prequel mashup.
After John Mayer learned thatDie Hard is officially a Christmas movie, he took to Twitter with hisBatmanandThe Accountanttheory. Mayer uses his imagination quite well to conjure up the similarities in the two movies, making an impressive argument. He explains.
“Here we go: it’s aBruce Wayne origin story. We see that he is both trained in fighting and accounting. His father was shot. His trailer/storage space is the first bat-cave. He is beginning to acquire great wealth. His brother will become his arch nemesis.”
Obviously, Mayer is having some fun on Twitter, but it’s a pretty good argument. People may end up going back to watchThe Accountantwith John Mayer’s theory fresh in their brains, seeing the movie in a new light.
Ben Affleck’s future as Batman is looking pretty grim at the moment and it looks like theFlashpointmovie may end up as the last time that we see him as the Dark Knight. Affleck has been quiet about his return, but it appears that Matt Reeves is already looking for a replacement forThe Batman, which is still scheduled for a 2019 release and production is expected to begin this spring if everything runs smooth. Ben Affleck has instead talked about wanting to direct aBatmanmovie, so we’ll just have to wait and see how everything pans out.
John Mayer’s theory aboutThe Accountantbeing aBatmanmovie hasn’t been gaining a ton of momentum, but his fans back the theory all of the way. Ben Affleck has yet to respond to Mayer’s claims, but he can’t be quiet about this one for long. While we wait for the confirmation form Mr. Affleck, you’re able to read the comical theory below, courtesy ofJohn Mayer’s Twitteraccount.
