>Matt Reeves is expected to recast Ben Affleck as the lead in his upcoming film, The Batman, according to the latest report. Affleck signed on for the role of the Caped Crusader back in 2013 for Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, an announcement that was met with a fair amount of vitriol from viewers. However, the Oscar-winner ultimately proved to be a strong fit for the part, winning a number of people over in his performances in both Dawn of Justice and this year’s Justice League.
>In a report in Variety detailing a shakeup at WB in the aftermath of Justice League‘s underwhelming box office performance, there is a passage detailing the future of Batman in the DCEU:
>While Ben Affleck is expected to appear as Batman in a standalone Flash movie, it is highly unlikely he will don the cape and cowl in Matt Reeves’ planned standalone Batman movie. The director is said to want to cast the role with fresh talent, according to sources.
>Everyone says Ben Afflecks portrayal and character of Batman was the saving grace of Batman V Superman >Make his character do complete 180 into Tony Stark for Justice League >fire him
HOW DID THEY FUCK THIS UP
He could have been great with the proper material and competent direction
>fresh talent >batman Batman has always been played by a known name.
Blake Bennett
Hamm looks like the cowl was made for him Adkins looks the part but is shit at acting/dialogue
Jace Ortiz
OH NO NO NO NO
Nicholas Jackson
Snyder Batman is great, Whendon batman sucks ass.
Owen Hill
Unironically Keanu.
William Ortiz
brolin can't and shouldn't be thanos and batman
Noah Bennett
Rob Ager's analysis on the situation coming soon!
Bentley Carter
The more time passes the more people realise that Nolan's trilogy was a fucking miracle. Sure the last part wasn't as good as the previous two. (beginning and dark knight) but compared to the shit we have from DC today ?...It's a quasi masterpiece.
John Morris
What is the point of that clip you posted? To showcase how good Affleck was as Batman? Because whole scene is done by stuntmen, Ben is there for like 10 seconds
Christopher Kelly
>batman >guns no, idiot. All too old. Hamm would've been perfect this could actually be kino
Chase Perez
Nobody cares for Nolan's bland trilogy, first movie is forgettable, second is loved only because of the Joker and third is popular only on Sup Forums
Colton Phillips
>Matt Reeves Oh no he sucks. Why WB can't hire good directors?
Jaxson Harris
I mainly wanted to post it
Also the fighting style I know will be last because its too much for WBs lightness
Yes, movie that was sequel to the Heath Ledgers Joker made a lot of money, and then was forgotten by everybody
Leo Gray
you know what? bring Keaton back. Do it.
Jack Myers
>and then was forgotten by everybody Marvel movies would know a lot about being forgotten shortly wouldn't they?
Xavier Foster
It is pretty bland actually, especially for a movie based on a superhero comic book character
Adrian Rodriguez
He's done. It's over. That Colbert interview destroyed what little he had of his career. Maybe in 20 when he comes back from Venezuela after being taken off of the Roman Polanski list he'll direct Argo 2.
Elijah Clark
>Radar Online
That shit is National Enquirer. Automatically false.
Camden Reed
>It is pretty bland actually
wow, some idiot in Sup Forums says so, so it must be true! Great argument!
Daniel Wood
>replace an old Batman >with an even older Batman Stop
Brayden Collins
getting scared already Mickey?
Jeremiah Hall
gosling
Anthony Moore
Well yeah, almost all older Marvel movies that are not part of MCU are forgotten, but that's not the point of discussion
Evan Flores
TDK is dated but in a good way. It has a very strong 00s aesthetic with all that steel and blueish grey, themes of terrorism, surveillance and civil courage etc.
Justin Young
Says the guy who reply by insulting
Angel Taylor
>wanting some chinless soystrogen self-injecting millennial for Batman. stop
Parker Baker
I'm just telling you, man. They never say something that is true.
I'd like Jon Hamm to be Batman. And maybe he will. But the National Enquirer knows shit.
Evan Martin
I can't even remember what happened in GOTG2 except for Kurt Russell being in it
Cameron Kelly
People remember Blade than any recent Marvel movie.
Tyler Rivera
4 u is only popular on here but bane was a big normie meme, that mask and the voice was. They even had that filter that puts a mask on you
Caleb Jenkins
It was popular for like a month
Joseph Brooks
Okay but who the fuck is the director?
Brayden Barnes
There was golden goddess Debicki. And then the crew split up. And then there were some really forced jokes and songs that didn't really hit home. And then Kurt Russell talks a lot. A disappointing final fight. qt3.14 Mantis. And that's about it.
Luis Collins
>It was popular for like a month
not true, Bane was fucking huge that year
Jason Hall
This thing is a trainwreck. Just bring back Nolan and Bale and act like this shit didn't happen.
Benjamin Gutierrez
>bane was a big normie meme, that mask and the voice was I remember going out clubbing that year for New Years, they had a costume theme on and there were 10 or so Banes running around. 5 of them were like 5'4", not big guys at all
Charles Bennett
He was already casted once
Josiah Mitchell
Paul Thomas Anderson
Daniel Day Lewis as The Batman
Benjamin Wilson
>This thing is a trainwreck.
all the movies have made money so far to justify sequels, Harley Quinn and Letoker have sold gangbusters with normies.
Remember that the soundtrack for Suicide Squaf outsold most albums with real music that year
Benjamin Rivera
Hey, remember when people were screaming that Affleck wanting to jump ship as soon as his contract ends was fake news?
Charles Wright
>all fucking white males
Jack Sullivan
Suicide Squad seemed like a huge deal when it came out. So many normies saw it on opening weekend that it actually reduced traffic on the roads in my city.
The hype didn't survive the first weekend, though, and I never saw that kind of hype for a DC movie since then. I can't help but wonder if SS caused more damage than BvS.
Leo Scott
Get out of your fucking basement for once, you clueless twat.
Connor Bennett
Batman can be black the same day when Black Panther is white.
Tyler Miller
Hamm by far.
Adkins for a younger Bruce.
Dominic Stewart
Probably the same people that were saying the final cut of JL WASN'T two hours long and that cinemas were lying
Kayden Clark
You CBM fans have short memory. Raimi's Spiderman would be for the ages and reference by future filmmakers. The Dark Knight Trilogy is not as overrated as the entire MCU would lead you to believe. It has more weak parts than it has strong parts. Half of Civil War is literally an Avengers preview.
Nolan Gomez
This. Hamm would never fucking get in shape for the role though.
Parker Ross
Marvel still has the only functioning cinematic universe and they're about to wrap it up. I really hope that will be the end of every studio hitting us with a "new and exciting" CU five times a year. >fucking Dark Universe
Nicholas Watson
Adkins should stick as a stuntman.
Levi Flores
>all resemble the source material more than most african american males do It's not because we hate blacks for fuck's sake, it's because Batman is literally white
Jordan Moore
Yeah but now its the studio wanting him gone
Isaac Smith
Studios were still making YA novel adaptions in 2016 after Harry Potter and Hunger Games had finished.
Alexander Long
Disappointing. Batfleck is one of the best live-action Batmans ever.
Leo Lee
I think I found someone better.
Evan Wilson
Affleck said he'd be playing Batman as long as they were wanting him. Turns out they're wanting him out because he's a PR nightmare atm.
Kevin Martin
hence my >almost all I know Spiderman and Blade movies are still loved and remembered, but nobody cares for FF, Daredevil. Ghost Rider etc
Cameron Nguyen
Chill Nolan
Connor White
for you
Tyler Brooks
>the only film in which affleck got to actually act like batman was a suicide squad cameo
Wew
Kevin Cruz
>>Everyone says Ben Afflecks portrayal and character of Batman was the saving grace of Batman V Superman it wasn't. his Batman was fucking retarded.
Matthew Robinson
There was a Daredevil movie?
Easton Sullivan
>hurdur nobudee curs >grosses 2.5 billion
Elijah Adams
Affleck isn’t the problem, the script is
Colton Bell
>cape and cowl
Ugh, anyone else cringe when these 2 words come up while talking about Batman?
Christopher Lee
Hamm’s drinking again. WB isn’t going to sign another alkie.
Xavier Powell
So did Transformers, Nolan
Nathaniel Reed
The punches didn't feel heavy enough, And honestly Batman's got to be more OP than that if he wanted to hangout with his JL buddies Also, batman using guns, not just guns, but fucking two handed assault rifles is the worst thing about him in BvS and JL
Anthony Gutierrez
Could be cool.
Thomas Bailey
I fucking promise you that what they will do is do Flashpoint and switch to Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne (the character he played in BvS) as Batman and keep it like that. Screenshot this post, I'm a WB executive :^)
Andrew Bell
Adkins is the fucking man. I’ll give my left nut for a movie where Batman fights like Boyka.
Easton Thompson
jon hamm already said he would never lower himself to capeshit
Ethan Davis
He just hasn’t had a lot of chances to do stuff other than flipping and kicking dudes in the face. He’s got potential.
Jaxson Russell
I guess this is it for the JUSTice league
Jordan Morgan
Kevin Smith is an egregious example
Caleb Cruz
How can a knife penetrate his armor buy a bullet can't?
Carter Howard
adkins makes gal gadot look like brando
Parker Martinez
I’d love to see Gal Gadot look like Brando. Someone give her a cheeseburger or five.
Easton Hall
the helmet is armored plated underneath the mask. the neck down isn't armored.
Christian Price
> guy bursts into room > batman has his back to him > has a fully automatic M4 > moves it aside and takes out a grenade instead i don't think this semen slurping universe is me
Brandon Cooper
Nobody cares =/= reflection of quality People “cared” enough to spend money to see them. I know this is a difficult concept for you
Jeremiah Price
This isn't Batman, though. This is good choreography, but it's just the Punisher wearing a Batman outfit.
Brawling, stealing guns, killing henchmen left and right? Minimal gadget usage, absolutely no element of stealth apart from the very beginning. He may as well be a superhuman or have special powers; he clearly doesn't believe he's just a man at all, and isn't using fear against his enemies.
Basic and stupid. They saw the Arkham games and just wanted to copy the most banal, boring part about them, the "mash X to do something cool!" combat.
Wyatt Cooper
And then forgot them, beside the one with Joker
Brayden Jones
Justin Theroux pls
Michael Hernandez
Batman Begins was my favorite movie of the Nolan trilogy, and will never be forgotten to me. I say this while hating the current state of affairs in DC with a passion, and while preferring Marvel movies.
Owen Perez
Because we've already established guns aren't exactly favorable int heir current predicament and the thug decides to use the big guns. Whats the problem?
