>As this week's announcement that Ben Affleck would step down as director of his solo superhero movie The Batman continues to reverberate through Hollywood and fandom, sources confirm the script originally penned by Affleck and Geoff Johns was rewritten by scribe Chris Terrio (whose Argo screenplay won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and who did a page-one rewrite on Batman v Superman), but the project will undergo substantial changes and possible/probably another full rewrite. Warner Bros. is already speaking to several filmmakers about taking over in the director's chair -- including one of my personal longtime favorites to direct a Batman movie, Matt Reeves, who seems to be the frontrunner -- and word is the project will essentially get a fresh start once a new creative team has been put together.

How long until Affleck walks altogether?
So are the people that run Warner Bros just as retarded as the people who run Sony Pictures?

JESUS CHRIST!
rip this cinematic universe i guess
how hard is it to write a short detective story about the world's greatest detective
Mark my words, I have connections:
1 - Zack Snyder will be the director.
2 - The script is being rewritten mainly to include a scene where Batman is raped in a prison.
3 - Michael Cera will play Deathstroke.
You read it here first.
>>Batman
Why do people still care about him? His mythos is so tired at this point. This is like saying we're getting another Romeo and Juliet film.
RIP in peace DCEU

That's actually fairly likely. "Nobody else is willing" is literally how Snyder got the MoS gig.

Good Geoff Johns is absolute Garbage when writing Batman.
Deathstroke is garbage and is NOT A BATMAN VILLIAN!
It's not funny anymore.
