Good lord, are you guys are so desperate see those villains that you're willing to chuck character and pathos out the window?

Well, we're certainly not getting any of that in the Snyderverse as-is. Best we can hope for are snippets of a bad-ass Batman and some cool, superficial stuff. I would say flooding the film with 15-20 villains would be leveraging what works about these films.

--edit: missed yonose's post, but I'm sure he meant to say we haven't seen that since LEDGER JOKER!!!!

Nobody else really did either

I thought it was coming out in June or July. I was really looking forward to it... until I saw those early pictures.

It's not going to make money going up against Civil War

Perhaps they thought by putting it at the tail end of the month, people would have already seen Civil War and want to see another comic book action movie. Oh well. They should have been smart like WB and avoided Civil War.

Apparently Affleck is not an executive producer of JL.

They're saying he did it to support Snyder.

Based Affleck.

Man, I hope Affleck tells Snyder "Argo **** yourself" and directs it himself. Or maybe JL 2. Oh well, at least we're getting an Affleck directed Batman film. Let's hope "crammed with villains" means "imprisoned at Arkham". Seeing him walk down the corridors of the Asylum and walk past famous foes and cells full of Easter Eggs would be a dream come true...

I wouldn't mind Affleck taking over the DCCU as director.

Neither would I. Neither would I...

Leave Snyder ALONE! ;_;

HE"S A HUMAN!!!!!

Leave Snyder ALONE! ;_;

I bet he's used up half of his 100 dollar bills to wipe his tears. Poor fellow... Kidding aside, he would make a great Mortal Kombat film... I'm not even kidding, it'd be one for the ages.

That's actually a really good idea. I would like to see that now.

 

[karamazov80]

Agreed. I will sign a petition to move him from DC to Mortal Kombat. Or Killer Instinct, even.

Yes then Gal Gadot can be too skinny to play Orchid instead of too skinny to play Wonder Woman.

Real or BS?:

As Civil War hits theaters and flies its way to the kind of box office Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice should have earned without much trouble, things continue to reshuffle at Warner Bros. This one is big. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck has become executive producer on the already-filming Justice League movie.


Affleck and writer Chris Terrio are going to shape up the script to make sure it’s something people might actually want to see. Once filming is complete, Affleck will have some say in post-production concerns. This means Affleck is now creatively involved in the film on a very real level.


Hold up, the red phone is ringing. Oh hey, it’s Devin Faraci, who has this to add:

My sources have told me that Affleck was incredibly unhappy about the reception of BvS. He felt humiliated after spending so much of the press tour saying how much better this film would be than Daredevil. On top of that his agent was furious when Kevin Tsujihara jumped the gun and announced him as the director of The Batman - there were still negotiations happening.


This move seems to help placate Affleck while also edging Zack Snyder out of a controlling central position in the DC Movieverse.


​

This is just the latest step in an ongoing shakeup at Warner Bros in response to Batman v Superman’s poor reception (which Devin wrote more about here). While it’s certainly fascinating to see played out in public like this, the bottom line is a hope that these movies will actually get good. With the help of Affleck, an honestly talented filmmaker, that comes closer to being a reality.
