    If they want to fast track something, they should make it Man of Steel 2. Especially if they manage to get Matthew Vaughn to direct.

    If that is true, the DCEU is a complete fucking mess.

    The DCEU really is a fucking mess, everything apart from Wonder Woman has failed on some level (or in the case of Suicide Squad, every level).

    They even fucked up Afflecks Batman straight away by having him be a mass murderer.

    If I was Matt Reeves I'd make his new Batman trilogy stand alone, away from the DCEU. Get a new, younger Batman and also recast all the shite villains from Suicide Squad.

    I imagine affleck may be grumpy as he's not even being allowed to "sing da theme toon" anymore.

    Reeves seems to get on well with studio people whilst making the film's he wants the way he wants so as long as he starts attached this might end up being good.

    Looks like the whole story came from someone finding out the are doing the Flashpoint story line in the flash film in a couple years.

    So in the end it's nothing as won't go into spoilers

    Was watching Kevin Smirth on his YouTube channel and he was saying Allfeck's been trying play Batman for all of his career and now that he's got it, there's no way he'll let it go.

    “Yeah, he [Affleck] is staying on as the Batman. There were contract issues, but everything’s sorted now. He’ll do Reeves’ trilogy which sets up Batman Beyond, which will be the next phase of the DC film universe,” the source says.
    Sounds good on paper but if that's going to happen then they need to actually start connecting the DCEU films together.

    I really like Ben Affleck as Batman. I know a lot of fans are unhappy about the fact he's killing black people, claiming to be a criminal and chugging down wine a pills first thing in the morning. But if you look over the years batman has evolved and changed andcso has the joker.

    The joker used to be a comedic, goofy character and batman a more law abiding, clean cut hero. Only til I think the 1980s did they start making the joker extremely violent and sinister and delve into batman's schizoid, depressive and obsessive ways.

    I think if they do it right they could evolve batman into one that kills black people and is not working with the law. For me the psychological stuff is what holds my interest in the batman interest as all characters seem to be the embodiment of a personality disorder.
    Eurgh you sicken me, racist.

    So people were daft to believe these 'inside sources' regarding Affleck wanting to leave the role...

    But now we definitely should believe these other 'inside sources' who claim he's signed on for three movies, ending with Batman beyond. :/

    Until it's officially announced by WB I think we can class all of these rumours as total bollocks.

    Yeah I'm highly sceptical of WB actually going the distance with this film and their other stuff. All it takes is one bad film for them to start losing their shit and panic. I don't know why they just don't admit that Snyder, with his grim dark universe, has put them in a massive creative cul de sac. I'm sure gritty comics was a late 80s early 90s thing, what's wrong with superman being fun and light and batman being dark?

    Superman doesn't have to be fun and light but it should have some sense of optimism.

    I sort of agree up to a point, but the superman incarnation that exists now in their cinematic universe feels like design by committee. I don't think optimism even came up in pre production.
