Is the right thing to do. Old men broken and disillusioned need to move out of the way of the young ones.

DO HARLEY PLS
Probably for the best. It would allow them to make whatever movie they want without really having to concern themselves with how it fits into the bigger picture.

I don't believe the original slate was meant for the public, and when they talked about it at SDCC, they never committed to dates.
Right now GCS, Suicide Squad 2, and Dark Universe are deeper in than Green Lantern.
Just for the sake of relief. Maybe. I'm gonna remain skeptical until filming starts.
PLEASE DON'T GO BEN
I question what his contract looks like if him walking is really a possibility. Even if he does though, it's unlikely to be announced until after JL.
Well anyone can get out if they really want, probably penalized or something
But I think when rumor started folks said he was at least contracted through The Batman
I am not sure if you're being sarcastic. I'll try to do a breakdown as to how Batman and Lex were very faithful but it will literally just be me saying "Batfleck wasn't the first to kill"/ Lex in BVS was intelligent, resourceful, manipulative, businessman mad scientist who manipulated both superheroes and public opinion but because he's eccentric people are saying not my Lex.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to bring this up but did they use the word standalone to describe the Wonder Woman and Aquaman movies when they were announced? I thought it was a little odd that word popped up in the announcement statement.

Jason would have died fairly quickly into his role as Robin, which means he'd have to be around 15 or so when he started.
Yes.
By the way the real eye rising detail in the Nightwing announcement is the fact Bill Dubuque is writing the script. He did The Judge, The Accountant and some other high profile projects still in development at WB so the studio rates him highly.
Dubuque is a hot writer who's about to get even hotter with some big feature projects on the horizon and the Jason Bateman Netflix series called Ozarks (IIRC) which (again, IIRC) he wrote all of.
He doesn't come cheap so I imagine that WB really want to make this film and make it a big deal.

It'll be judged... harshly... but at this point, I think unless you're totally unrealistic, "this movie is good, but not Dark Knight good" should not mean it's a disappointment.

Hate to be that guy, but the rumor always was he's out... after this movie. So we won't know for a bit until he's gone gone. The rumor being that it's mutual is so damn worrying... is WB that brain dead that they want Affleck gone too?
One of the many reasons why it's stupid to think that the whole Slate is on pause. With all these new developments that have happened in a 2 month span it'd be stupid to think that WB is playing a game of wait and see. They ain't throwing around this kind of money for nothing.

I wonder what Faraci feels about all this.
Seriously though, good get for WB. I just hope they don't meddle.

Hahaha. I like how random this is. That movie looks awful.
So we got Batman news and now Nightwing news, it makes sense for Ben to disappear after The Batman. I don't know how many stories you can create around 50 year old Bruce Wayne that are blockbuster caliber. I'm saying this as RDJ is still seen kicking ass in the MCU.
But part of me wonders if WB and Ben want to continue doing this dance for the next decade.
Wait until you hit the end...

Of course, that "rumor" made no sense.
I wonder how fast they can prep/shoot/edit/vfx the Batman movie if they want it out by next year. It looks like August is the best month to release as there's no other big tent pole movie that month, but that might be too late in the year and close to Aquaman in October. If they tried for April, that might be too tough for production dead lines? If they keep the movie small scale and more "detective" Batman, they could shoot that in 3 months or less with a smaller budget (125 mil?) and get it out sooner.
They not going small for Batman lol.
They might have to if they want to hit their release date. And I don't see why it needs to big some crazy big action film. It shouldn't even come close to being a world ending threat movie. It needs to be one or two villains max and deal with setting up Nightwing and some of his other rogues.
This movie was written by someone with the mind of a 14 year old who was as high as a kite.

Yeah, I saw it and my impression is that it was made to be watch while high or drunk. I didn't do neither of those though.
Figured that might be the case for a while. Perhaps one of the worst things they did was release that slate. That was perhaps the peak of trying to be like Marvel for them. Not their style at all and locked in expectations that shouldn't have been.
Which is a strange rumor, because of the movie comes together, is well received, and cleans up at the box office, why would he just get up and leave?
I think Huge JackedMan is a better comparison, since CGI does all the heavy lifting for Downey, and aside from Civil War, he's been phoning it in since the first IM.
Yes and yes...
I honestly think this is what they're setting up. If the rumors of Affleck wanting to bail are true, then this is the most logical solution. Nightwing would show up briefly in The Batman to establish him in the universe, then he gets his own movie where at the end, Bruce hands him the cowl.
Ooooor they swerve us all and Ben stays as Batman, but Nightwing and Cyborg form the Titans.
The funny thing is that this could have been their plan all along since they casted an older Bruce. But because of the rumors it will always seem like hes running away. I guess it won't really matter if the movie is good though. I hope he stays on in some form, as like a mentor at least. And then maybe he gets called out of retirement in JL2 or 3.
Go small... I mean was the Dark Knight really that big?
Batman is really well situated for those small tight stories that take place in one night. Especially detective Batman
I am fully under the belief that winning changes everything... if they knock it out of the park with Batman and everyone loves it, Affleck may change his mind.
Oh my fucking god...
