>On the latest episode of Collider Movie Talk, host John Campea stated he has heard from three separate sources involved with Warner Bros. over the last four days that Affleck is looking to leave the role of Batman. Along with a warning to take what he’s heard with a grain of salt, Campea said: “Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he wants out. He doesn’t want to be Batman anymore.”
>Campea went on to say his sources tell him Affleck is in discussions with Warner Bros. to get out of his deal to continue playing the character, which includes THE BATMAN, but if a deal cannot be reached in time, the solo film will be the last appearance he makes as the character.
He never should have had it in the first place. Awful choice
Colton Hill
Lol what with the shit that was BvS and SS DC is just handing it to Marvel.
Ethan Barnes
What a faggot
Asher Reyes
HANG IN THERE BEN
Parker Smith
>The only thing mainstream audiences liked about BvS was Batfleck >He's jumping ship
Just fuck my franchise up
Liam Gonzalez
Is DC DOA?
Blake Cook
Batfleck was best bat. Retire the character.
Joseph White
How will he pay alimony after Warner takes all his money with a lawsuit?
Robert Cruz
...
Tyler Bennett
If that's true I hope he kills himself.
Chase Young
theyre gonna kill bats in the batman?
>WHO IS SLADE? >WHO IS SLADE? >WHO IS SLADE?
Julian Nelson
Clickbait has finally jumped the shark
Anyone thats saying theres no anti-DC bias in the media is lying
Bentley Gutierrez
Are you saying it's dead and they should bury it?
Wyatt Morris
>another batman reboot inc top kek
Elijah Carter
he knows WB just can't handle these properties right, he's getting Daredevil flashbacks
Jonathan Collins
Tough shit, you can't play the Bat that well and then bitch out.
At least get Karl Urban to play him if he does.
Thomas Gutierrez
Desperate lmao
Lucas Scott
This is going to blow up into a Blade-tier shitstorm
Levi Hernandez
Which Marvel character could he play?
Xavier Harris
AND IF A TEN TON TRUCK FUCKS MY SHIT UP
Charles Foster
...
Chase Perry
Fuck cinematic universes. Make a new standalone with pic related
Robert Myers
Yeah I feel for him honestly. He probably thought this Batman role would be a sure thing for acclaim and money.
Camden Fisher
WBDC are so fucking incompetent LMAO
Kevin Anderson
I understand he's pissed about rabid fans breathing outside his window as he sleeps but couldn't he at least wait until Flashpoint? It'd be perfect "in-universe" excuse to recast all the roles.
Wyatt Sanders
What if they made kino reeves "the batman"? At least he could pull off all those action sequences cuz kino ain't no puss
Aaron Diaz
But you only get to do it once so they had better make it count.
Christopher Turner
just let disney make the DC movies
it worked out for Sony with Spiderman
Levi Nelson
Nighthawk. Would be Marvel's first great villain.
Jackson Hall
He does have acclaim and money. After this NO ONE will care if he's alive or dead. Forget directing more movies.
Jackson Young
get your laughs in but you know this will blow over and things will be fine again, Ben's not going to just up and leave like that.
Lucas Wright
>Breaking: Zack Snyder will take over the responsibilities of playing Batman
He planned this all along
Brody Gonzalez
I could see it working.
Elijah Russell
if its true it might just be for health reasons he's not exactly been good to his body suddenly going all /fit/ for a movie couldn't have been good
Samuel Taylor
...
Jaxon Sanders
he must have very little confidence in Justice League then.
Matthew Reed
True. Affleck would have a hard time finding work by screwing the WB.
Jace Watson
He saw an early screening of Justice League.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA DC is finished!
Christopher Brown
Just fucking end all the DC movies and restart with characters they've never used. Close out the current universe but when you reboot, don't touch the classics, dont use superman or batman. Go obscure
Do a Zatanna movie, a martian Manhunter movie, hawkman/girl. Getting fucking weird, dig deep and build the universe over again and then do batman and superman and stuff later. You're souring the public image of these characters. KNOCK IT OFF
Xavier Gray
Honestly, Zack has the physique and looks down. Wonder why he never got into acting...
Zachary Mitchell
>After this NO ONE will care if he's alive or dead. Forget directing more movies.
Maybe rabid Snyderfags but no, that isn't true at all. People will probably praise him for getting away from WB and snyder. As far directing he lost privilege when his last movie bombed so horribly
Dylan Rivera
WB isn't the only distribution company out there, but it's certainly a blow. but if he's willing to take the risk then that says a lot.
David Reed
DC should just stop making movies altogether. Give Batman a break for at least two decades.
Ayden Smith
So, which Arkham would you lads say is the best? I say Asylum, but my friend says City.
Connor Bailey
He reportedly has a standard three-picture contract. So he's eligible to leave after "The Batman".
Nicholas Lewis
Isn't that exactly what they're doing with the DC-CW shows?
Tyler Lopez
TIME FOR A BLACK BATMAN
Benjamin Hall
I don't blame him, that entire DCCU project has just been a huge fucking corporate driven trainwreck.
Daniel Johnson
Karl Urban would be a great Batman.
Thomas Baker
If true he's basically admitting Justice League will be another disaster.
John Allen
I'd say City. It was to The Dark Knight what Asylum was to Batman Begins
Eli Kelly
DCucks on suicide watch
Charles Harris
THANAGAR'D
Aiden Parker
...
Adrian Martin
fucking kekd.
this two-parter was really good though.
Sebastian Lewis
The silver lining is this will force them to write in Dick Grayson.
Colton Cooper
I feel bad for his son.Imagine being Affleck coming home after quitting one of the coolest gigs in hollywood and telling yoru son his dad is no longer batman.
Brandon Sanders
hoolllllyyyy fuck this is amazing
will there be a bigger JUST in history if he leaves?
Joshua Watson
BREAKING NEWS! Adults don't care about capeshit!
Christopher Smith
>aww dad thank god you left. the DCEU movies were a travesty
Luke Garcia
Has Justice League actually been screened yet?
Brayden Brown
will there be a bigger fuck up in hollywood if he leaves? The DCEU has to be the biggest disaster in hollywood.
James Wood
zach when did you learn to read?
Aiden Nelson
BEAKED
Chase Anderson
Its probably a mix between the DCEU being shit and the amount of time he's forced to work on these movies. I feel bad for the guy, Id be pissed too if I tried to promote projects and all people would ask me is "So what about Batman?"
Brody Ross
...
Nicholas Richardson
A rough cut was shown to producers -which includes Affleck - The weekend preceding his announcement of no longer writing or directing the movie.
Alexander Hughes
So realistically, when could WB hard reboot with new actors, universe, everything, post JL bomb?
William Brooks
maybe that's why DC flopped since children don't like their brand of capeshit.
Ryan Rogers
Is this a JUST for DC, Snyder or Affleck? All three?
Leo Gutierrez
merely coincidental, probbly
David Ward
It's quite obvious this is happening because they took him off the director seat. This is someone who has directed an Oscar nominated movie, you don't hurt his ego like that and not expect repercussions.
Jordan Edwards
Marvel can do this only because they got so much goodwill and attention for making good movies with recognizable super heroes.
You can't just go to the obscure stuff if people already think you're a joke.
Henry Foster
EAT SHIT BENFAGS, CASEY IS THE COOL BROTHER NOW
Ayden Martinez
IF Affleck leaves, it doesn't make much sense to do the rest of the current DCEU slate. They would probably reboot and try to do it right this time.
Brandon Martin
Mainly DC. It's a smart move on Affleck's part
Joshua Wood
He quit. He's burned-out. Capeshit was a mistake for him.
Juan Stewart
I think he's overestimating how good of a director he actually is. Stick to capeshit Ben, because after Live By Night nobody wants to watch your little fan films.
Christian Johnson
Seriously want went wrong, did 2016 really take that big of a toll on him
Carson Reed
...
Isaac Peterson
>Marvel is already hyping their biggest movie which won't come out until late 2018 and it will make 2.5 billions at least >meanwhile solo movies are critically praised, the marvel rape train running on auto while they keep setting up the movie of the century
>DC is an absolute fucking mess, directors walking out left and right, and now actors wanting out >next movie to come out already rumored to be awful Jesus it's not even fair at this point
Julian Johnson
Come to think about it, kicking out the new and improved DC Cinematic Universe with a Zatanna movie would be kinda awesome.
Xavier Taylor
I get the sense that this was sort of a lifelong dream for him, that he's been into Batman since he was young, and probably came up admiring the role and some of the actors that played him.
Then he got his shot, and unfortunately it's in the hands of an incompetent studio and a garbage director. Fucking Monkey's Paw shit.
Benjamin Jones
KEKOO'D
Adam Stewart
This would be terrible if it happens but I'm 99% sure this is fake news. Snyder's got a deep multilayered plan for the DCEU and "Justice League" will show the critics how wrong there were to judge it. You don't judge a cake that's only half-done baking, so why judge a trilogy 2/3rds of the way through?
Caleb Watson
Casting him as Batman was a mistake but getting him just as director of The Batman would have been better they should have started with The Batman in 2013 directed by affleck with another actor as Bats. Then do Man of Steel then BvS. Then Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman then Justice League.
Then we start phase 2 of the DCEU
The Batman 2 Man of Steel 2 Wonder Woman 2 The Flash 2 Aquaman 2 Green Lantern Justice League 2
etc you get the idea.
Jeremiah Perez
Thats what I mean, WHEN? 2 year wait? I want this universe scrapped and start fresh
Caleb Perez
So.
Where are the "marvel pajeet" posters now?
Ian Robinson
But they got a Jewess to play Wonder Woman! How could the DCU possibly fail this badly?
Hunter Wright
All of them >DC >Fucked up so bad with retarded executives choices that not even iconic and popular characters can save more than half the invesment they originally made
>Affleck >Play one of the most iconic comic book character ever, mixed reception but the rest of the work was brutally panned by critics and the earnings were mediocre at best, get a chance at directing but realize these executives are just souless hacks with no talent whatsoever
>Snyder >Be such a massive hack that even with all the superhero craze and using such recognizable characters you shit out two really underwhelming and ultimately bad flicks that not even shitposters can help appreciate
Hudson Flores
The greedy jews couldn't wait so they chose to skip all that and jump to Justice League.
Asher Torres
>another joker attempt at not being Heath while also trying to be Heath Can't wait
Brayden Jenkins
FROM THE ASHES OF BEN, CASEY WILL RISE
Charles Russell
Because its 2/3 shit so far.
Luke Ross
>*leans over* "well hot diggity dog, did someone say there's an opening for BATMAN?"
Connor Howard
Well WB needs to see how JL does. If it's meh then they will likely putting a hard reboot plan into effect, if they are smart they are already pre-planning it just in case.
Andrew Hernandez
>you can't judge the franchise until you have 10 movies to tell the whole "masterful story"
