Affleck was originally suppose to be the director to the Batman film,but they wanted to rush him with the writing,so he said fuck it.
Warner Bros is so worried about Marvel they want to rush shit,it's their fault for waiting too long to start their own universe...By the time,they decided to start their own universe,Marvel was in the middle of Phase 2 of theirs and now you see WB rushing everyone to get their movie done..
Yup. That's what I hear too.
I'm not sure why you mentioned me. Notice I don't discuss CBM on th board anymore more. Why? just look at the OPs thread title.
Did the news come from Ben Affleck directly? Nope! A friend of a friend. So obviously the title should have "rumor" or " speculation" or something in it! But nope!
Click bait just like the rest of the internet. Not to mention the board is heavy pro-Marvel!
Anyway have at it!
We don't know what's coming from Ben or not because nobody is saying anything from Bens camp. At first it looked like he was using his out as a deal changer. But then it turned out that the script sucked, he couldn't take his time with it and yes- they are all worried. I love Ben as Bats, I love all his films, especially The Town and Argo. I hope... I really hope they can right the ship and not put all the weight on him to do it and that's what all these stories seem to imply.
While,I agree it doesn't directly comes from Affleck,this been building since the failure of BvS....Especially, when people are saying he's not thrilled with Warner Bros trying to rush him on the script.
Why would you give him some authority on how the universe should be, but want to rush him on a script, especially when he's trying to avoid another Daredevil catastrophe....it makes no sense at all.
I want DCU to worked, but just look at the last two movies(even though I liked Suicide Squad),it hasn't panned out well for Warner Bros.
Like,I said many times,instead of trying to rush everything so you can catch up to Marvel, Warner Bros should of just took their time and developed their universe...It's their fault that they waited to long to do their universe and now they're playing catch up and it's failing miserably.
THIS
Honestly I stopped reading after the "failure of BvS" part! No matter how people try and spin it. The movie may not have been critically as successful from what we thought but failure? Hardly!
It's hard to have a decent conversation when basics like that aren't fully realized!
It's why you rarely catch me anymore in threads like these. They're pretty much like exensions of the talking heads by people that have no idea how movies and/or the movie industry works.
It was a failure fam, aint no doubt about it.
Man of Steel was good. But SO close to great. It was bloated, Supes was a brooder and certain character arcs were fishy but it looked good, good pacing, had real world connections and a great score. Still panned for too much death and destruction.
Batman V Superman was a misfire. There should've been a Man of Steel 2 here - Superman. But they rushed and edited the shit outta the finished product. The forced cameos of the League was off putting. A bad version of the antagonist, the Doomsday subplot, weird pacing and the lack of Superman hurt. Still, Batfleck and Wonder Woman were great and the score was good. The beginning justified the mass death of Man of Steel - that was brilliant.
Suicide Squad was a let down. The initial "started a joke trailer" was masterful! Dark, weird, risky. All the leads were good. The main antagonist (if it were the Joker) was perfect. The script was shit. The pacing was shit. The editing was shit. The soundtrack was laid over too many scenes in a shit way. I cant even recall a score but it looked great. The characters were all well done but the movie failed them, too many hands fucked it up. David Ayers even admitted as much.
Wonder Woman looks good. Contrary to reshoot reports and doubts, everything is right en par with Captain America!
Justice League tease looks so good but trying to be funny is bad. I like Snyder but he's doing too much.
Flash movie seems to be going the way of Gambit. Too bad. Rick leaving was a major sign of failure.
Aquaman should be right on point like Thor underwater.
Movies are hard as hell to make I know but this is systemic in its nature. Just look at it. I say this as a student of film. Collider is official too. I know some them dudes from way back when they were starting up. If they mention ANYTHING about it on that show, there is blood in the water.
