Movies: Ben Affleck is officially back as the Caped Crusader

[Scandale du Jour]

Hollywood's principal character flaw in action: lack of imagination.

Nah, it is not about lack of imagination (well, maybe a little)... it is about greed and what they perceive as easy marketing. Go with safe well-established brands and make a quick buck.

That's flawed thinking and that's their biggest failures. In the 80s, Hollywood was creating many franchises out of thin air, they still could do it. But nope, today, it is all about nostalgia. Costs less you marketing wise... because it markets itself... or so they think.

So, yeah, if there is a lack of imagination it is not the writers' fault, it is the executives fault. They take the easy way it. Does not matter if the product sucks, the brand will sell and then, they will tarnish another brand and make a profit anyway.

Is this just for Flashpoint Paradox?

The Flash movie that's been in production for years and has had multiple writers and/or directors attached to it?

Maybe. Couldn't care less about that. Was only worried that they were going to rip the rug out of Robert Pattinson's Batman before it even got off the ground. Looks like this'll just be a small cameo though.

Keaton is also supposed to appear in the movie so yeah it seems to be apart of the Flashpoint stuff that puts daddy Snyder to bed hopefully.

 

[tardigrade81]

So do we get George and Val back as well?

Lmao. Val was ok. Clooney oooooh lawd, I would cut my eyes out before watching him again lol. What were they thinking.

From what I’ve read he’ll be reality hopping and canonizing EVERY DC movie to date, including things like Green Lantern, as a result.

"The Flash, aka Barry Allen, will reportedly be seen crashing into multiple dimensions where different versions of Batman will be found."

I'm guessing Bale wanted no part of this mess.

Crossover on CW last year already did that.

Much like the Marvel TV shows there are people like me who didn’t watch them but watch the movies.

THE FLASH: Ben Affleck Is Officially Returning As BATMAN In The 2022 Movie

f*** YES

He won't have a lot of screentime but hopefully that leaves the door open for an evantual standalone Batfleck movie

Ditch the Flash and just have a Keaton/Affleck multi-cross dimension film.

Flash was annoying in JL but it might be Whedon's fault and his obsession with "funny omg so cool"

 

[frisco]

I don't care who's starring I'm just glad they finally got around to making a movie about Batman. Next subject to be tackled: WW II.

I want to like the DCEU...but it's just such a mess and confusing

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It was so obvious and short-sighted.

Basically they got greedy and decided to play catch up right away.

And now a lot of those execs aren't there...

So while people whine and cry in this thread about this, there was some good that came out of it.

Also the Flash movie, it's creating its own multi-verse, it's still not trying to be MCU, but people here can't type that fast enough. DC has mentioned, they don't want to do shared universes for a while unless they introduce a character through it and make that work (Black Adam, Shazam, etc).

As a fan of both, I find most of the whining comes from the side that says they're fans of both, but clearly are more MCU fans. Apparently you can't enjoy both and them being different, at all.

While I don't necessarily blame them for not wanting to copy and paste the shared universe idea from Marvel, I can't help but think they are confusing fans by having some standalone hero movies part of the shared universe and others being in their own universes.
