>Ben Affleck announced himself to the movie world as a more-than-capable director back in 2007 when he helmed the adaptation of Denis Lehane’s novel Gone Baby Gone. Since that time, the Oscar winner has emerged as one of this generation’s premier filmmakers, calling the shots on acclaimed crime drama The Town and Best Picture recipient Argo. His prowess behind the camera (combined with some standout performances in other movies like Gone Girl), led Affleck to the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the DC Extended Universe, where he will helm The Batman – the character’s first solo vehicle in the franchise.

>Before then, however, Affleck has another film coming out. We speak of Live By Night, Affleck’s second adaptation of a Lehane book. A story set in the Prohibition Era, many were excited to see the director take on a big-scale crime epic. The trailers promised a tale that was ambitious and grand in scale, and the hope was it would be another awards contender for Affleck. Now that the first wave of reviews have made their way online, it seems Affleck has his first misfire as a helmsman.

Oh no, a director had a bad movie.

well obviously this belongs on /co/ because he's also in a comic book movie

so if you'll excuse me I'm going to make a thread about John Wick 2 because hey Keanu Reeves was in that one comic book movie once

Things wasn't looking good for the Batman movie since Deathstroke was announced as the main villain.

I has no hope for this book anymore.

Confirmed for plebeian taste.

So what? Directors fuck up from time to time, and hey, I will refrain judgement until I watch the movie myself, critics have been doing shit like praise Ghostbusters (2016) so their opinions are not exactly always right.

Will his Batman still kill people and be an idiot who doesn't do any research?

He needs to work with the DC best writers. We are talking about save DCU for Krypton sake.

WB really wants to push Johns for helping write these movies due to his success with the CW stuff
>>
>>88586291

Warner Bros. gave the director's chair of the next Batman movie to Ben Affleck on the hopes that he would prove capable of making a good Batman film. The studio wanted to make everyone forget about the thus-far lackluster efforts to create a shared film universe for DC properties. That Affleck has now had a misstep in his directorial career might lessen the studio's confidence in his ability to deliver a successful Batman film.
>>
>>88586567
The fuck are you on about you paranoid retard? Are you illiterate?
>>
>>88586707
I thought Johns was already helping. no?
>>
>>88586823
He is, he co-wrote Wonder Woman and is helping Affleck
>>
>>88586744
They're definitely going to interfere with it now, and Ben has to keep his mouth shut because being at WB is what put him back on the map to begin with.
>>
>>88586364
>Deathstroke was announced as the main villain
Why? Seriously why choose Deathstroke when you can choose anyone from Batman Rouge Gallery?
>>
>>88586505
I'm sure it will, but 10 times better than Snyder doesn't mean it will be good.

As if Warner were planning on keeping hands off before.

Actually letting their directors do their things is something they're demonstrably bad at.
>>
>>88586121
Who the fuck are they making watch these movies?

They say this shit all the time and then producers turn the movie into a complete fucking pile of shit.
>>
>>88586121
It's over.
Affleck as both director and actor, Johns as consultant, the already bloated cast with appereances from half the Batfamily, Deathstroke as a main villain.

The Batman movie will be a disaster.
>>
>>88587419

what a stupid comment, you can direct or you can't, it matters fuck all if it's an adaption or an original

Alfred is the only one who is confirmed so far.

It will basically be Hush but worse.

Go back to your mosque, Affleck. Or better yet go learn something about being an actual director instead of moonlighting as one because Jen kicked you out the house!

It's going to be hilarious when this shit flops. Once again confirming why the man-children who still read comic books are barely more than marginalized caricatures of themselves. But instead of admitting you've become the most beta of betas, you'll complain for years how "good it was" and how "tasteless" the general public is in desperate attempts to try and divert away from the soul crushing realization that you've wasted your lives on mind-numbing drivel originally designed to entertain teenage boys.

Honestly the only way I'm going to be interested in The Batman is if the Riddler is the antagonist.
We've had four movies of a dumb Batman. It's time to show people why he's called the world's greatest detective, and if they can do that and redeem the joke of Jim Carrey Riddler that'd go a long way in showing that the sky's the limit.
>>
>>88592265
I agree with you, which is why it makes it so annoying when people go on about how mature and serious and realistic and respectful the DCEU is.

Good movies are orchestrated by good directors, not the studios they happen to be a part of. I'm 100% confident Batfleck will make a good movie (given his track record) if WB keep the intervention to the absolute minimum.
>>
>>88586121

Ben Afleck isn't a good director. Argo was utter shit and only got nominated thanks to nepotism.

When was he announced to be the main villain? All we know is that he'll be in it.

Watch his Batman movies be vastly superior to Nolan's

I guarantee that wont happen

So.... it's gonna be on the same level as Gone Girl?

Fuck yeah, that movie was great.

Affleck took on Batman in a quid-pro-quo with WB; he'd try and pull Snyder's DCEU out of the trainwreck that was Man of Steel, WB would start funding some of his more ambitious film projects.

Nobody does this shit because it's the direction they want their career to go in. Except Reynolds.

The problem is that Affleck's recent movie sucked, "dude".
>>
>>88586121
Affleck was the only reason BvS was even any good. Even if the solo Batman movie somehow ends up being horrible, Affleck's acting and performance should be more than enough to keep it at least on Suie sy Skwad level. Tolerable and enjoyable but deeply flawed.

It's pretty quid pro quo. WB had the HP directory signed for Fantastic Beast versus some like Del Torro in exchange for him doing workmanlike duties (paycheck directing) of Legends of Tarzan. Which was a mistake, since that's why the movie was shot in England, instead of Africa.

Likewise, Chris Nolan got to do The Prestige and Inception because of TDK and TDKR. Since Inception made a lot of cash, he got to do Interstellar. He probably is on a slightly tighter leash budget wise, but he still probably gets to do something like that without doing another thing in the DCEU, although he did have to agree to 'mentor' Men of Steel before they fully agreed to give him as much of a budget as he wanted for Interstellar so who knows?

Johns in the batman movie is a terrible idea, same With the wondy movie. He is pure cancer. Fucking cyborg in the flash movie it's his legacy

Johns is quite possible one of the worst Batman writers of all time.
