    I think the part in the very beginning where Bruce fell into the well and then all the bats came together and transformed into the batsuit and then Batman flew away.

    This film was in the works before Afflecks performance or being cast. A new Batman movie was going to be made no matter what.

    But yeah, i didn't mean to do Batman Beyond now. I meant after The Nolan trilogy as Man OF Steel was being made before they were even going to make a shared universe. I think what they are doing with Wonder Woman is what should have been done with Superman. Give him a trilogy where he's like the first superhero in the 50's or something and then do a Batman Beyond in the future just to show something different, and then after that go with a pre Beyond where older Batman and older slow aging Superman fight. Then start all the solo movies of the Justice League members with 3 JL movies in between all those solo movies. It's like a patient 10+ year plan, but that's exactly what Marvel did. They were patient with their team ups. WB went straight for the money from the get go and it's hurting them.

    I am excited for this Batfleck film though. I was one of the few of my friends that liked his casting from the get go and he didn't disappoint. He's a damn good director and writer as well!

    Whatever happens, i hope Snyder is out. Let someone else take the reigns over the 3rd Superman movie if there is one and let Affleck or Ayer do the team up movies or follow the Star Wars plan of having 3 different directors for 3 different JL movies.


    Is it really? I only watched like the first 3 episodes when the show started and never watched again. Is it worth a watch? I like the Fash. Don't care for Arrow. I'm just not that big a fan of cheap network tv shows.

    Good choice on the villain and actor.

    A shame Ron Perlman is a little to long in the tooth otherwise he would have been great, at least he was great on Teen Titans....

    I low key believe this. Brett is a fame w**** but an active gay in the Hollywood 'pink mafia' and gays love to gossip.

    The movie won't even start shooting for another 5 months. I love the 3rd hand script comments. LOL. Come on.

    It's pretty evident after Suicide squad and BVS, that Warner Bros will step in and make the movie worst. So I guess they do care.

    DCEU slowly unraveling. Get Uwe Boll, Tommy Wiseau or the lesser Paul Anderson on the phone ASAP.

    Is this necessarily a bad thing? I'm not so sure.

    yes it means the movie has real problems and he doesn't want the headache and blame. No one blamed him for BvS

    i think it's pretty safe to not expect anything great from dceu, although i did enjoy superman begins and bvs. the studio seems like lost.

    maybe they should give the dc rights to pixar. combine the awesome dc animation scripts with pixar's awesome cgi.

    That's pretty much what I gathered from it too. They put him on a very short leash and want to reserve the right to come in and tear it apart if they don't like certain aspects of it.

    Don't get me wrong, I've never been an Affleck fan in most of the movies he's made or acted in. But, his portrayal of Batman was the best I've seen anyone do and he is a comic book nerd and he knows the content very well. He probably felt a little disrespected and didn't want to have his name associated with something he felt wasn't genuine.

    He's only the star and an exec producer, I'm sure he'll have no creative input and nobody will associate him with the film.

    This was the only DCU movie I was really looking forward to, now I'm kind meh about it. They just don't seem to know what they are doing. The entire thing just feels rushed and cobbled together. It's kind of ridiculous that they are actually doing a Justice League movie, and only Superman has gotten his own movie so far. And Batman, easily their most bankable and important character, still doesn't have a solid release date, or a script apparently. Establishing Batfleck should have been priority one for the DC universe. Then he goes after Superman, then they form the justice league. And how in the hell is Suicide Squad out before all of the hero movies?

    Serioulsy, one really good Batman movie would have won a ton of trust with the public, then set them up to make one of the biggest blockbusters ever when he went head to head with Superman. Instead we got one mediocre, overstuffed movie, when they had solid material for 3 really good movies.

    Oh dear! I hope this won't effect the 9 sequels they probably already had lined up!

    He has been a pretty good director. So far he is 3/4 on his films.

    I'm okay with this. If Affleck being director means he can't devote his time 100% to give us the Batman we saw in BvS then I would rather have someone else direct it.
