That said, I think the true loss is Affleck the director, who's been very good for the better part of this decade.

I liked him as Batman, especially against Cavill's passive Supes, but I think the DCU is better served with him as a director as opposed to an actor.

But that bridge has already been crossed and it's too late for an entire DCU reboot (which should have happened after MoS).

Understood.

If I were Afleck I'd push to postpone the solo film and encourage them to kill Bateman off somehow to divorce myself from the D.C.U.

I heard yesterday from a decent source that Affleck is considering dropping out altogether - no further screenplay work, no directing, no acting on The Batman.

I think it's probably overreaction because his latest film lost $95 million dollars and he's stressed out over that and the whole Batman fiasco but as of this week, it's a possibility he bails.

Please let that be true. Not a fan of his Batman at all.

I had no idea how badly Live by Night did.

I saw a commercial for The Accountant and thought 'man, what an absolute shitfest that appears to be'; Live by Night at least looked interesting in a period drama sort of way.

I figured if anything tanked that badly it would've been The Accountant but man oh man did Night bomb hard. Yanked from 96% of its theaters by week 3? Jesus.

P.S. The best choice for Batman is Alexandra Daddario. She should also play the Joker and Commissioner Gordon.

I actually thought The Accountant was pretty good. It had humor and action. Usually when you put those two together successfully you get a decent movie.

So a few gossip sites I've read are speculating that Affleck backed out because he's having problems with alcohol. That and 'live by night' tanked and he's fearing back to back stinkers

I've heard no mention of alcohol but the guy has had an incredibly busy schedule for the past few years, which led to the separation from his wife, and he's burned out.

Affleck is great as this Batman. Rumors are that Matt Reeves is on a list to take over or possibly David Fincher. I'd be real happy with either. I think Affleck is burned out a bit...Can't direct, act and screenwrite a huge movie as the Batman will be. He will still be Batman...No way he bails.

I have faith in Geoff Johns who was involved with Wonder Woman and is over seeing things with the dceu now.

I heard Seth Rogen is going to take over the part of Batman.

Matt Reeves just followed Geoff Johns of DC. Really hoping this means he's directing the Batman.

Rumors of Affleck wanting out of the Batman role now....

Campea explained that multiple sources “in one way or another connected some way to what’s going on over at Warner Bros.” relayed the information that “Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he does want out. He doesn’t want to be Batman anymore.” He added: “I have been told that Affleck is talking with Warner Bros. in an attempt to get out of being Batman, and if they do not let him out of being Batman that the standalone Batman film that ultimately happens will be the last time we see Affleck as Batman.”

It would be interesting if they can persuade Bale to reprise the role

Non story rumor that Campea said talk with a huuuuuge grain of salt and said he didn't want anyone to run with it and dumb websites ram with it for clicks. Nothing to see here imo.

If this was from a legit report like Hollywood reporter or Variety I'd be concerned. It's just John Campea....

Also Affleck is playing the Frank Miller version and I don't think Bale would fit that mold. I've enjoyed both of them as Batman.
