It just seems so premature. The result of Justice League is unknown and The Batman with Reeves could be a good experience and a successful result. For him to already be considering leaving seems cowardly and lazy, as if he is running away from the responsibility for the result and running away from the responsibility of the work involved like getting in shape, etc.
Don't get me wrong. I sympathize with all of what he must be feeling, and I don't want him to do something if it will hurt him in some way or if his heart isn't in it. However, whatever happens I hope he handles it with grace and, if he doesn't continue, he assists in finding and establishing some sort of replacement whether that is with a protege taking on the cowl or prequels.
Exactly my sentiment, he came in to help BvS, invited Terrio to write the script, did some/moderate re-writes for JL, put into the EP position for JL for editing, and as soon as things turn soar, Zack takes ALL the blame.
Then he walks away.
I don't blame him, but he is definitely a fragile personality, especially after his family issues, which is very sad
We will see...I gotta say though it is rather convenient that this comes out right about when Reeves is signing to make the film. Either the bloggers are looking to troll or Reeves and Affleck dont see eye to eye.
I said in my free statement for WB
that they could push the narrative of Matt pushing Ben out, well, looks like it can get traction
The purpose of that is to protect Ben and make it look like he reluctantly left rather than actively walk away which would look a tad worse for DCEU.
Guys, this is not the "negative news that comes days after a good news"
Mark Hughes, the supposedly cheerleader for WB, already suggested last week that WB should consider whether to take the bandage out and control the narrative and be transparent, instead of letting things leak out slowly and drag and hurt the narrative, this is BEFORE Matt was announced the director!
Of course Jett has been hinting that Ben's leaving, at the least, he's waiting to see how JL performs. Now you have Cambea with his 3 sources.
I've come to accept that Ben's leaving the universe, and when you have Reeves coming in and start fresh with prequels and ?Jake
, I look forward to that very much. It'd only hurt more if you think Ben's not leaving then ouch, de javu again.
The warning signs are there, be prepared, and if Ben stays for one more, then rejoice...?
