Hollywood Reporter: Ben Affleck's Batman Future in Doubt

>>94040370
>And while male stars have been able to stretch their action-film relevance further in an age when there are fewer bankable young stars (Robert Downey, Jr. is 52 and going strong as Iron Man), studios favor the fresh-faced — look what happened with Spider-Man, successfully rebooted with 21-year-old Tom Holland. (Affleck also just dropped out of the Netflix project Triple Frontier, and it’s not clear what his next movie will be. His reps declined to comment.)

>Warners could hypothetically create dual Batmen, keeping Affleck in the role for a planned Justice League follow-up while letting Reeves cast his movie with a different star. But that hardly seems likely. The first Justice League already is at an inflection point: Director Zack Snyder has stepped away in mid-production and his successor, Joss Whedon, is said to be doing extensive reshoots. (Note that Justice League member Superman is played by Henry Cavill, 34, The Flash is Ezra Miller, 24, Aquaman is Jason Momoa, 37, and Wonder Woman is 32-year-old Gal Gadot.) And a second Justice League movie would be years down the road. THR reported Thursday that Shazam!, with a yet-to-be-cast title star, will be the next DC movie to shoot.

>Of course, Batman transitions have happened before. Starting in 1989, Warners has made films with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Affleck. As a source with ties to the situation observes, there is precedent in the Batman comics for Bruce Wayne handing off the mantle to others, and even for two different Batmen cleaning up the streets of Gotham simultaneously.

>>94040370
AND WONDER WOMAN PRODUCTION IS A MESS!

>>94040395
>The landmark 1993 Knightfall storyline left Wayne temporarily paralyzed, leading him to appoint a vigilante called Azrael as his Batman replacement. When Azrael went rogue, Wayne came out of retirement to stop him and then swiftly retired once more, appointing Dick Grayson (AKA Robin) as the new Batman. That was so successful that when Wayne was assumed dead in 2009, Grayson took on the cowl for a second time. (Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises even went this route, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's John Blake getting the keys to the Batcave after Bale's Bruce Wayne was presumed dead.)

>In the comics, Grayson stayed on as Batman even when Wayne returned to work as The Dark Knight, with the two different Batmen splitting appearances between the various comic books. Bruce Wayne took Batman Inc. and Batman and Robin, while Grayson's stories ran in Batman and Detective Comics. Grayson also appeared monthly in the Justice League of America series during this period, arguably making him the more high-profile of the two characters.

>Warner Bros. could even go with the Batman Beyond approach. The fan-favorite animated series (1999-2001) saw an elderly Bruce Wayne train a young man called Terry McGinnis as his apprentice, with Wayne teaching him to take over the role as Batman. Of course, there's a downside to the passing-the-torch scenarios: It's hard to imagine fans or Reeves being excited about following someone who is not Bruce Wayne for a Batman trilogy.

Don't you dare recast him. What the fuck.

I'd actually be cool with Affleck being Batman for the MoS-BvS-JL series and going with a new, younger Batman around Cavill and Gadot's ages for subsequent films. It'd be a nice way to close out Affleck's Batman and let the guy have some personal time to get his life in order with his divorce and new girlfriend.

Have Bruce retire and support the League. Bring in Dick and have him wear the cowl. Or at worst Azrael or Lucius' son.

I love Ben as Batman but i always thought it was a mistake to cast an old as fuck batman in shared universe setting. Hes expected to be in all these movies and hes old as fuck.

>Exactly when and how that might happen has yet to be determined, but it would be wise to bet against Affleck starring in The Batman.

Holy shit. Is Snyder fucking off? Is there hope for the future?

>>94040588
I love how they basically just say "He's 45 now, so Batman can't possibly be made in 5 years, so he'll basically be 50 when that comes out and they want to do a trilogy."

Realistically 2 of 3 movies in a trilogy could be out by the time he's 50. Which perfectly sets up for a knightfall third installment (or even to end the second with him returning to beat Az at the end of 3) for one more triumphant moment. Then his wounds have caught up to him and he must train a successor. Which, if they have a Robin (IT BETTER BE FUCKING DICK), he could easily be amalgamated with Terry's story to create the next Bat.

But this is the same article that used Holland as a symbol of successful casting returns at the BO.

>>94040370
Gotta love a source that says Affleck - who has made no indication he'll retire from the role - is aching to get out of it, but RDJ - who constantly talks about wanting to retire - is 'going strong' as Iron Man.

I doubt Affleck will drop out before "The Batman", but afterwards I could see him being gone.

>>94040742
Literally almost everything in this article is bullshit or an assumption the likes of which I would expect to read on /co/. Not a site which seems to consider itself to be "serious".

He is not going anywhere. He is a huge Batman fan, everybody loves his Batman/Bruce and they hired Matt Reeves for wrting and directing.

>>94040824

Not really m8. Homecoming has been a modest success by MCU standards. Spider-Man is the face of the Marvel Universe and by normie standards he's nowhere close to RDJ Stark or Evans Cap.

Larson's Captain Marvel will get a harder push I'm betting.

>>94040742
It isn't, bro.

>>94040791
>RDJ constantly talks about wanting to retire

Wrong.

>>94040406
Not saying it must've been true, but it wouldn't be the first time a good movie came out of a troubled production. Iron Man literally didn't have a finalized script during photography and many scenes had to be improvised by RDJ and the others, not to mention some producers panicking because they feared his fallen-star status would affect the movie; Rhodes' first actor was picked because they thought he would be the one to attract the public (which is why in the sequel he expected to get paid more than the lead)

>>94040884
In current Marvel and the MCU Iron Man is the face of Marvel.

Spiderman hasn't filled that role in a decade

The movie didn't bomb, the critis and normies loved it, but it was never gonna pull a billion, we're not talking about the Avengers, that's like saying people hate Antman and Hulk just because their characters don't sell as much as Iron Man and Captain America anymore

>>94040884
Every review I've read or seen, even if it bashes the movie, the one thing in common is that they ALL loved Holland as Spidey. Only trolling contrarians don't.

This really isn't up to debate.

>>94040433
HOW MANY MORE STEPS IS THIS GONNA TAKE?!

WHY CAN'T IT JUST END IN NOVEMBER LIKE IT SHOULD

>>94040880
What if the new Batman came to a showdown between Terry and Damian? An older Damian of course.

>>94040791
Chris Evans is the one that wants to retire. RDJ loves playing Iron Man. He lobbied hard and won to get bigger roles in Civil War and Homecoming.

>>94040824
I can't prove or disprove that. And you can't either. We'd both end up posting unverifiable social media screen shots.

What we can look at is performance. The statement Ms. Masters made was in reference to Holland being a boon for them. And it wasn't. It was at best a push, more cynically a failure. They expected a massive draw and the haven't gotten it.

>>94040896
Prove it. Shouldn't be difficult.

>>94040884
>Homecoming has been a modest success by MCU standards.

$485 million worldwide after two weeks and without China and Japan is pretty above average. People did cool themselves into believing it'd make $500 million on the first weekend and shit, but it's performing solid given the reboot fatigue.

Many more. Because JL is going to do well. Which I can't wait to see your response to. I'm assuming, already, it'll be added to the group of screenshots I have ready to post when it comes out.

These guys are absolutely retarded. They let Snyder run with his "vision" in the beginning when the foundation of cinematic universe were formulated and now they see all these problems?

I said this since Ben Affleck was cast as Batman.

Why the fuck do you want an old Batman when the Justice League is BARELY happening? It doesn't make sense! We want our heroes to be together for a long time, but now since Batman is freaking old he is already out the door. There can be no JL without Batman just like there can be no JL without Superman or Wonder Woman etc.

This was a retarded creative decision by Warner Bros.

>>94041134

Man, I can never wrap my head around that. Imagine hitting the jackpot like that, hey you're going to be paid literal BILLIONS to act like yourself for a little while ever 1-2 years for the next decade or so. You don't even need to work out much.

Do you think RDJ is sick of playing him? Like yeah I have the feeling it's an sorta easy gig for him, but at the same time he might not be able to expand out to new roles without fear of being stuck as a typecast.

I assume it's different for Huge Jackedman but he had to go through hell everytime to get his body fit and he was exhausted from the role.

At least that movie set up the creature in the first act, and the movie had a dark/dirty enough look that it kind of fit in a world of giant bats and Celtic war elephants the size of battleships.

did they finally make Arthur Welsh in the latest king arthur movie?

>>94041297
The problem i see here is that WB jumped the gun and announced too many movies and details like what actors would lead without actually knowing when or whether they were gonna happen

Not saying they should slow down productions, but announcements, they shouldn't be made until things are clear enough for the people involved, because then you look like a fool when you have to make a dozen statements about how the Rock isn't actually Black Adam, Cyborg isn't actually getting a solo, Deathstroke isn't actually the Batman's villain etc.

They brought this upon themselves. They should never have let Snyder run this franchise to the ground.

>>94040824
>Normies love holland as Spidey

Your other two responders are correct. The fact that Spiderman started with $20M more dollars and ticket sales than WW and is barely keeping up means that AND the evidence of the drops, as well as it's parity with TASM (in almost everything except reviews):

(a) word of mouth was not as good;
(b) repeat viewing is less

Both of these are CLEAR and OBVIOUS EVIDENCE that 'normies' are not "lov[ing]' Holland, at least not with their butts in seats and movie ticket dollars as much as they loved either Raimi #1, or the well received MCU origin movies.

Homecoming is doing better than Thor, Antman and either Hulk, but it's not improving upon Dr. Strange (which is bad, considering we're talking Spider-Man).

>>94041443

>Why does Hollywood keep pushing Charlie Hunnam? He's a charisma vacuum

He's actually pretty good in this

And I say that as someone who dislikes him to the point that I can't watch Sons of Anarchy due to how much of a charisma vacuum he normally is.

>>94041312
Is it just me, or was this two wildly different movies smashed together for no apparent reason? Like someone took a mediocre Guy Ritchie movie and mixed it with a horrifically bad generic fantasy movie.

I always thought this would be the case after his one solo movie, he'd just transition into the background while nightwing replaced him since he has his own movie in the works along with batgirl.

It'd be a shame if he doesn't do the solo movie though, I like batfleck.

Definitely, I would've preferred the Rock being Black Adam in the Shazam movie but for some reason they really want a solo Black Adam that explains his origin.

The Rock clearly loves the character given long he's been attached to portray him, they just do it already.

>>94043190
Not him but if it isn't Dick it damn well better be the Batman Beyond route.

I'm mad enough we don't know if there's a grayson but we know there's a dead jason todd.

>>94043084

Actually you're pretty much the biggest shitposter in the thread so how about killing yourself

He wears them because he has no confidence, not because he has any.

>old as fuck

Do you know how I can tell you are either under age or clearly remember your first beer?

Thats what Sony has planned for The Dark Tower too. Franchise and a tv spinoff.

I have been suspecting that, should the DCEU do well enough (and thanks to WW, it's at least bought itself another three or four films), Afleck's age would become an issue. I mean, not yet, fuck, I want to see 60 year old Batfleck developing his DCAU heart issues.

Then they either go Dickbats, or do a DKR3 and have Superman (or Wonder Woman) drop a dying Bruce into a lazarous pit.

I mean, that's actually best end for a trinity focused setting anyway. No way would Clark and Diana let their Bruce die old and bitter, leaving the world without The Batman.

>>94043565
Ayyy WB finally is realizing Harley/Ivy is God's path

>>94043468
Yeah but you need to have balls to wear them when you know everyone knows about your secret

>>94043487
Stay mad grandpa

>>94043277
>Same shit
Except for the fact THR's sources are always correct yeah they're pretty much the same....

>>94043586
I get the lazarus idea, and I like it to a point, but that leaves them with the difficulty of either trying to cast someone that looks like Ben or just having the audience bitch about the difference for a movie before getting over it.

Though Cavill and Gadot aren't going to be able to do this for more than 8 years looking the way they do. oddly enough Batfleck being old would at least be something you could plot. Two nigh immortal (in terms of age at least) beings aging visibly could be tough to write away with throwaway dialogue.

>>94043731
People think "an anonymous source" means the publication doesn't know who they are, rather than them protecting their sources.

>>94043731
>Except for the fact THR's sources are always correct
LOL

>>94041173
Using the dark knight returns, which is a possible ending story, as the starting point for a connected universe. Next question

>>94041175
Snyder fags will claim it was the plan the whole time...

>>94040425
GIMME DAT McGUINNESS AND JUSTICE LORDS

Best part about this is that when Affleck confirms that he'll do Batman as we all know he will because he has nothing else going on, /co/ will deny everything said in this thread. It's like looking at the Wonder Woman disaster from the sweet months before it happened

>>94040791
Ever notice how every time something big happens they go back to "Affleck is leaving!" panic mode? Didn't this happens last year too? I wonder if that was before Comic Con as well.

>>94044327
I think the last year's pre Comic Con fake news was James Wan dropping out, I could be wrong though

>>94041297
>Black Adam origin
>Shazam origin
>Shazam vs. Black Adam

But wait the same people who said "BvS was rushed" are going to complain that they took too long for this one, right? Typical.

>>94043084
>Oscar for make up means the movie was good

>>94044118
>Taking an hour and fourty two minutes to think of a way to say "all of it".

You sure you're ready for the "next question" (note: there was no first question) or do you need some rest before exerting that much effort again?

>>94044327
They always do this when DC has something coming out. Just earlier this week they ran a story about him being homophobic because of something 20 years that Kevin Smaith said he said.

>>94044574
>>94044400
>>94044327
And all they had to do was set up a few thousand social media zombie accounts to comment about DC fans being crazy for thinking the coverage is at least conscious if not coordinated.

Costs a couple grand at most.

>>94043720
>implying I'm not 29, but just tired of this meme that anyone over the age of 40 suddenly becomes irrelevant.

>>94043823

Eh, I reckon both can pull off another decade, maybe even fifteen years, with work and hours in makeup. And it's not like they won't just pull a Flashpoint eventually. Odds are cape flicks will have been run well into the ground by then anyway. Even releasing slower than MCU flicks, we'll still be on like MoS4, WW6, and JL5

>>94044452
Good God you people are detestable. I can't wait to watch you cry when this finishes crashing and burning

>>94041443
He's hot

>>94041443
Not sure about him but I read something that explained that Dane Dehaan is basically a trust fund kiddy who gets his roles because money and connections

>>94040370
>Introduce an older Batman that has 10+ years of unshown history
>Throw him the fuck out 3 movies in
Brava Dc, brava.

>>94045668
Like Kate Mara? Or Amy Schumer? Or Anderson Cooper? Or almost any celebrity or person on television in the last 50 years? Even athletes are plants.

>>94040370
Yessss....That's it, Warner Bros.. Bring the DCEU closer to ruin.

>>94040370
lol

Frazetta is dead, anon

>>94041175
Also get Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan back before they're too old.

Fuck it, Cohan would be the best Joker in the DCEU by default

This has as much chance of being true as the "Wonder Woman is totally a mess guys!" bullshit.
