Ben Affleck To Team With DC’s Geoff Johns On Standalone ‘Batman’ Film

[Iceman]

Batfleck on his upcoming Bat-solo:

I like that quote.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I'm completely fine with no Talia, Ra's or LOS. Between the Nolan films and Arrow, I've had my fill. I just want Selina Kyle. That's the only character, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll see again (in either Affleck's upcoming film and/or future DC films). I want Catwoman done right.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Thoughts on a costume similar to this in "The Batmam" ?

 

[Sawyer]

It's nice artwork, but I wouldn't care to see that in live action.

 

[shauner111]

I doubt we'll see Bane either.

I just feel like Catwoman has to be a part of this and Dent as well, in order to feel complete (if this ends up being the only Batman movie). I would also love to see Penguin. I'm sure there will be a Riddler reference or cameo too, even though i don't care about that. Especially since i have a feeling Nygma will be cast horribly.

It's too bad though. I think Ras and Talia would fit well in this series, especially with everything going on in different countries. You got aliens, Atlantis, Themyscira, monsters. Why not have a Lazarus Pit? Don't white wash Ras or Talia either. They could have been a huge factor in a Justice League movie.

But i get it. Maybe they feel burnt out on those characters, and most of the appearances from the rogues gallery will tie in with Arkham. So maybe there's just no room for that family, and it's a decision made for storytelling purposes.

No. Current design is much better.

I was going to ask where the Steven Yeun as Nightwing rumor started and then I looked and saw Movie Pilot...

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Ehh not feeling that pick honestly.

 

[Web-Head]

Ehh not feeling that pick honestly.

I've never seen him in anything, personally. Except for the few episodes of The Walking Dead that I actually did watch.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

He's alright imo. i really cant imagine him as nightwing, or any other superhero really.

 

[TheVileOne]

There's no rumor. It's just fan casting and speculation.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

No thank you. Too old.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

He's actually about the right age considering our batman is middle aged. Batman and nightwing aren't that far apart in age as adults they're more akin to brothers rather than father and son. At least in my mind i figured it'd only be about 15 years difference between the two. Which puts nightwing in his early 30s if batman is in his mid 40s.

 

[AverageMan]

Think there's plenty of villains they could choose before using Talia again. They already have Deathstroke - I imaging they'll try to cast anther villain to be the brains behind the scenes - Riddler? Hugo Strange?

I have the utmost confidence in Affleck's script as of late. Haven't gotten a bit of it yet, but still pretty sure it'll be above average. He knows this character.

He knows and LOVES the character.

Does he really? I have confidence in his directing and it's good he's taking his time with the script. But he does he know this character? Outside of one Frank Miller novel, there's no proof that he does. Im still worried because he loves BvS so much and thought that Lex was fantastic and realistic. Good lord.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Dude's gotta spin, he's not gonna burn WB. They're his cash cow.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

hollywood is one big ass kissing fest

ben knows how to play the game and has played it well for the sake of having a lengthy and successful career. he's not gonna speak his mind and ruin everything he's worked to gain back.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I'm bummed if the rumors about no al Ghuls are true. It would be a shame not to get a proper version after Nolan's white-washed, non-mystic take, complete with pathetic Talia death scene.

 

[TheVileOne]

They probably want to use different characters instead since they've already done Ra's Al Ghul.

 

[The Shape]

I don't really understand the desire to have Ra's or Talia in this film, especially since the League and the Al Ghuls were such huge focal points of Nolan's trilogy, even more than The Joker himself was.

 

[nyyarod]

Ryan Potter wants to be Time Drake. Elle Fanning wants to be batgirl. Teresa Palmer wants to play Talia. And Adam West wants a cameo. Everyone wants to be in this movie

 

[THE WOLF]

Jeremy Irons confirmed they're filming next year... sort of. He said in the summer as opposed to Joe saying Spring.

 

[shauner111]

4 people is "everyone'?

As for Irons, his parts will be in the summer probably.
