How the fuck???
Cavill is full bald now. Refuses to wear a wig. WB decided to make him an alternate world Luthor who murdered the real Superman when he was a newborn.
I recently moved to a new house, where the technician bothered to not show up first, then came back a week later saying they need to drop a wire from the pole... and then decide he didn't want to ring a door bell the third time and decide we weren't home. It was rough but kind of nice too.

God damn he's looked like such a sad mess since him and his wife split
Hope it's just deceiving appearances and he's doing alright

I think so... he may just be a dude that doesn't care what he looks like and slums it around. He cleaned up nicely for Kimmel and sounded happy.
Could just be he knows how to snap into that "showtime" mode when he needs to
If Ben is having issues with booze, then a delay for Batman makes even more sense. The best HGH in the world couldn't get him back in shape by March.
Hope he pulls through, and that Live by Night doesn't bomb too hard

His workload over the past year doesn't help (or maybe it did by keeping him busy).
Live By Night filming, BvS press, Justice League filming, Justice League fixing, Live By Night post production , The Accountant press, Live By Night Press, and writing/prepping The Batman. Some of those overlap too.

Was thinking the same thing.
The contrast in that picture is kinda funny. She's holding him with this big smile on her face, and he's just standing there all slouched like his dog just died.
Then the press doesn't give a shit about his other movies and pet projects. Yeah yeah that's cool and all, but when the fuck is Batman coming out?
For his workload, how the hell does he not have bags under his eyes? I don't take Ben for a guy who would care enough to get injections either.

He signed up for that and knew it was coming. However, I do feel there is probably some resentment there because you have to believe with the whole Justice League fiasco (shooting and rumored to be helping with ongoing rewrites with Johns), he didn't have a chance to devote all of his time and energy to Live By Night which probably got hurt because of it.
Also, most of these interviews, Batman is the final closing question. It's not like people are dropping that as their opening question. It's usually when they get the signal to wrap it up and they fit it in.
It's pretty clear he got botox injections for Live By Night. He had a strange looking face for a good couple months until it started to wear off when he was doing BvS press.
He had the Account and Account press mixed in there too
It's got to make him feel good though. Considering the reactions he got when he was announced as Batman. Now people are losing their minds over the excitement of a Batfleck movie.

You'd think so, but he looks stressed about the situation every time it comes up.
I like him being in this place as an actor, but it's probably tough on him as a director with all the pressure and crazy workload on his shoulders.
If he had to read some of the dumb mess said on GAF he would be sad

haha got so excited when I saw that in the DC subreddit because thought they were finally doing an ongoing.
This film is such a will they or won't they for me. If it didn't have the Rock starring in it I'd be a lot more concerned. Still not convinced cyborg is still in the works.
The Rock just instagrammed something outside the DC offices too... seems like something is definitely brewing and Black Adam and Shazam might be introduced in MOS2. Might be a really nice way to do it without outright have a Shazam movie.
A young Billy Batson idolizing Superman and being his biggest fan boy? I could dig that.

Hope, fun, and optimism campaign is getting a bit concerning. Just don't turn this into some Mickey Mouse Disney shit.
Yes! For the love of god.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who thought BvS was a hopeful movie.

The end was definitely hopeful. People complain about the teasing of Superman's return in the same movie he died in but that very last shot was to convey hope.

It's not about hope, it's about fun.
fun fun fun fun
Are you having fun? No? Well no more serious movies then. Batman has to throw out a random chuckle-worthy one-liner at least once every 10 minutes. Flash is nice and goofy like a young kid while Aquaman is the grumpy guy with a heart of gold. Cyborg makes a lot of "blue screen of death" jokes and other windows references, so people understand the jokes and thus have fun. "OOPS SOMETHING WENT WRONG ERROR CODE 4343342" and Batman says "I hate when that happens with the Batcomputer too" HAHAHA and Aquaman rolls his eyes and sighs and does grumpy things HAHAHAHA and Wonder Woman says "what is computer" HAHAHA and Flash says "I can't escape from this nightmare" HAHAHA see: fun!
I can totatlly see this happening.

lol..Just a smidge.
I don't understand why people, in general, are so averse to variety. The primary example people use when explaining why they don't like the DCEU films is that they're basically not MCU movies. They're not bright and colourful with quippy lines every minute. What's wrong with that? We have over a dozen MCU movies for that kind of experience. Why add to that pile with the DCEU? WB of course wants all those quippy dollars that Disney is raking in but I really wish they'd stick to their guns and stay the course but it doesn't look like they will.
With regards to Shazam, wasn't the early scuttlebutt saying that it would be a standalone movie, not connected to the DCEU because of different rights holders or something?

I don't mind the tone when it's a good movie.
What did he mean by this?

Now that's what I call a killer app
That sounds like pure garbage.
I disagree
Hope and Optimism is the backbone of DC Rebirth and it is putting out some of the best books in a long time for em

Jesus H. Christ, THIS reads like one of those DCEU-fan crybaby Twitter rants about HURMARVEL STUPID LOLQUIPS, and it's about as limp as those as well.
And people get upset when I say some folks in here got a persecution complex...

Get over it. People shit on DC all over this forum. Go whine about it over there too.
This is the DCEU OT. Here we shit on the MCU.

Didn't mean it that way. We actually don't do that much at all, which is good.
But when someone has something to say about it, it would be nice not to have guys come in here and complain and ironically talk about crybabies and persecution complexes.
Yep, it serves no purpose and doesn't exactly foster a fair and welcoming environment that we were criticizing the OT DCEU threads for not having.
