This furthers my suspicion that it may be about Affleck because the fandom doesn't seem particularly united about what they want to happen there.

I think if he stays, the DC fandom will still divide, because all this dragging has caused a lot of the fans to envision Reeves' Batman to be someone else.

But it is a great news for Batffleck fans tho

Well if it IS about Affleck, then it'll be confirming that he's staying. They wouldn't frame it as "great news" if he were leaving.

And I agree, I think there will be a divide either way. I'm personally indifferent - my interest in this project is solely Matt Reeves. If Affleck stays, good for him. He'll finally have a good shot at being in a well-received film as Batman.
 
According to Conrad, it's movie news and it's coming from a big trade tomorrow. He said Aquaman set visit is coming later but the big news isn't that.

It has to be The Batman, BoP, GLC or Flash. Or something else.

I’m betting it’s BATGIRL. ????

Ya I'm very keen on Reeves' vision too, and Giaccino's score :hmr:

If Ben stays then people saying "Jake passed Batman to play Mysterio, DC is done!" can shut up for once =P

But I worry more weird personal s*** involving Ben once he keeps this high profile role lol
 
It seems Superman fans are going to be left in the dust again lol. Since the Doomsday bone intrusion going through Superman's chest in BvS in '16, it's been nothing but gloom. Oh well. Hoping SDCC with Aquaman, Shazam! and WW84 blow the roof off the joint.

WB managed to turn fans of Superman (Hope/Optimism) into Batman fans (dark, hopelessness, gloomy mood)

People thought that Thanos was the first one to turn a large population of people into dust. What they didn't know was that Warner Bros had beaten him to the punch by having obliterated most of Superman's fans into dust first.

In any case I would still support the idea of just ditching the whole shared universe concept. Just stick to making standalone films.
 
“I’m a peacock! You gotta let me fly!” Most underrated comedy in recent years. I really wish they would have done a sequel to that instead of daddy’s home 2.

This scene always cracks me up.

I would love it if they confirmed Affleck was staying. But my gut tells me it's going to be BoP casting news for Batgirl, but possibly for Cassandra Cain rather than Babs. Especially when you consider Margot Robbie was talking about how BoP can be a vehicle for diverse leads, and given Cathy Yan is Asian, put two and two together.

Interesting how they always want their cinematic Batman to be Bruce Wayne, but could use Barbara as Oracle instead, though I'm sure she'll end up as Batgirl again because I heard her story from coming back from disability and fighting PTSD is quite well done.

You may be on to something there. I couldn't screenshoot it before deletion but I SWEAR Daniel R tweeted a comic panel of Cassie Cain just before that tweet where he said it's going to be a great day for some DC fans.
 
Just out of interest, do general audience associate Batgirl with Barbara? Or do they just know her as Batgirl?

If they associate Batgirl with any name it's Alicia Silverstone, unfortunately... :cmad:
 
I'm pretty confident at this point that we won't get ANY official superman movie news for the remainder of this year.
 
@herolee: If we don't hear anything a month after MI:6's release or maybe by the end of summer then don't see it happening either.

hard to tell if they gave her bat nipples like the others

I still think in 20 years time the next gen looks back at ZS work (at least visually) and they'd be like "he did this in the 2010s??!!)

If Robles is right and MI6 is the remaining bargaining chip for both sides, then it should speed up dramatically in August, but if we don't hear anything, then ya.

To be fair if MI6 gives Team Cavill an extra 1% in the whole package I don't see the reason why they wouldn't wait for it, only fans like us want it for SDCC lol
 
Honestly, would it make any difference at this point if Cavill does extend his contract? I mean there are no superman or justice league films scheduled to go into production any time soon.

Honestly, I'm starting to think that we may have seen the last of him after JL. What a crappy way to go out imho.
 
I must admit, i do find it interesting and funny how we have gotten to the stage where people are being recast, demanding more money, producer roles etc - which has then soften the blow for people who maybe didn't want that or hyped those who did - it's also putting theories in my head etc to.

Now, i want Cavill to stay - not sure why there are rumours otherwise, but either way - he deserves it.

I think we are in a mess, and i say this with a heavy heart, what was Snyder's downfall, in some respects is doing too much too soon.

MOS was the launch pad - it showed us what kind of universe, tone we were going to get. Now, BvS, i and no issues at all with Batman, i liked Bruce's portrayal and Snyder's vision - but it should have been saved for a solo movie.

A cameo would have been the perfect teaser and way better than post credit sequences.

Two movies setting up and showing us superman and the world. The sequel (touched on it briefly by BvS) could have gone into detail what lois mentioned in MOS of other metahumans - clark doing his thing, researching who else is out there - the batman could spark his fancy only for Batman to appear outside his apartment - Batman warns him from digging too deep and to stick to his city, all the while Clark looking worried, weak and sweaty.
The film continues and the post credit scene is bruce back at the cave, he has footage of clark and his family at smallville - shows batman dug up his past and as he puts away his gadgets, a glowing green ring is placed in a safe. This shows bats means business.

Anyways, enough of what if they did this. Moving forward, if they were to recast would it be necessary to explain - like a time rift we later find out about in future flash movies or just act normal?

If WB is willing to put pen on paper to throw a bunch of cash at Cavill, and Cavill after what he's been through is happy to sign another deal, that's guaranteed sequel right there.

If WB's like...well we are unsure if we are doing a Sup movie any time soon....then if I were Cavill I'd just balk, enough is enough.
