Yeah, its clear he is never finishing the books. He refuses to admit that he has writer block. And/or doesn't have an editor to cut out bull**** he likes.
 
I mean, Jesus Christ, book five dropped during SEASON ONE of the show. Obama was still in his first ****ing term, George!
 
We’ve got AI now. When the last two books drop at the same time, you’ll know what’s up!
 
I believe Batman: Part II when I see it.

The other one, I don't read books to have an opinion about it.
 
One has a release date set, the other does not.
 
A Song of Ice and Fire never gets finished.

Part of me genuinely wonders if it’s actually nearly done, but the backlash to the TV finale has him dragging his feet.

Or he fears everyone is going to hate it after the show.

Just for the record, I'm sure his version would be infinity better. But plenty of people have issues with the broad strokes and he seemed genuinely bothered by it doing the ending before he got to. Which is of course his fault, but yeah.
 
I think that's part of the writers block. But again, looking at his criticism of HOTD season 2, and lack of his idea of a lode bearing child murder, I think Winds of Winter will remain in an un-releasable state, because he refuses to listen to any editor.

I don't think an editor would be an issue there. If anything I think he realizes he hasn't even started telling the second half of the story and two books isn't enough. That's a mountain of work that could frighten anyone.
 
One way or another, there will be another Batman movie. I've said since 2021, if TWoW isn't out by December 31st, 2025 11:59 PM PST, it's never coming.
 
Matt Reeves is at least writing! GRRM is just updating his blog and giving a thumbs up or down to whatever new Game of Thrones spin-off pilot scripts that HBO puts in front of him.

 
The idea that George isn't writing is weird to me. No fan wants the books to be done more than he does since it's not just something he likes, it's the big work of his life. Clearly he's run into issues that may not be overcome though.

The Batman 2 will come out first, but I'd probably trade all future Batman movies for a properly finished ASOIAF.

Even when I first read the books I thought he was introducing way too many characters for a seven book series and naturally it's become massive and unwieldy. Not that I think anything didn't belong in the main series but he at least could have trimmed some fat and left some of it for supplemental books apart from the main series.
 
Dune trilogy before a sequel to a Batman movie. I would’ve lost that bet.

Oh back off already. It’s necessary. Rob can age as he likes but no one wants to see a non-twink Paul Atreides. :o

Well, depends on if the 3rd book gets an adaptation.
 

If y’all don’t get tf off Matt Reeves’s neck already… :o
Okay, I am going to be nice and assume that this thread was started innocently and ignorant of the ban on further discussion of The Batman Part II delays. If this veers towards bad taste or insensitive criticism of Reeves' personal challenges, the thread will be closed and infractions will follow.

Kindly govern yourselves accordingly.
