Not sure if Variety was the one that reported it, but I remember seeing that the draft WB was happy with, before Reeves hopped on, was written by Terrio.
Terrio da gawd gonna stay. He's the soul of the universe.
Dodged a bullet there. Not a winning combination.
If that's true then I can see why Reeves wants a rewrite. 3 guys with polar opposite writing styles and ideologies working on one script seems like a bad idea.
Goyer's a good idea man. He's worked well with the Nolans, do we really thing Ben with all his talent can't take that and make it great?
If Nolan can, so can Affleck.

Should be noted it was Johns, not Goyer, that was stated in the article.
Snyder took Goyer's ideas and made it great. I'm sure Reeves can do the same (if Goyer had a hand in this). But seriously, I'm good with keeping Terrio onboard.
Maybe I should withhold judgement until JL hits but BvS was an excellent piece of work: great dialogue, amazing imagery that alluded to bigger concepts, great story that deconstructed the characters.
He wasn't a false god like Ahaversus claimed he was

Hell no. Terrios dialogue was cool and I like BvS but it has some really problematic story beats. If he was responsible for the plotting too then Id rather he not work on the batman film. I'm glad Johns is off as well. Bring back affleck and have him write with Reeves
I wonder if this means mangianello and deathstroke are out tho. Full rewrite means characters could possibly get cut

I assume its a rewrite within reason and one of those reasons is probably Deathstroke needs to be in it.
Mmmm, I don't know if I would blame the plot on Terrio. He was working within Snyder and Goyer's template. As far as we know there was no page one rewrite. Terrio just did a patch job as what we know implies.
Name the problematic story beats. Most of it makes sense apart from the usual nitpicks which are understandable because scope and time are issues the movie has to deal with. Terrio did a great job all things considered.
WSJ is only available for subscribers but he doesn't read comics, Superman 2 was his first movie and what really got him interested in the genre was the Dark Knight Trilogy.

If Deathstrokes cameo is edited out of Justice League then we'll know how big the Batman rewrites are
He's already said that he was studying comics when writing Justice League. I even remember him mentioning Grant Morrison.
Legend of Tarzan writer in talks for SS 2. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/suicide-squad-2-lands-legend-tarzan-writer-986284
That's disappointing to say the least
Please don't. IWhere the good writers at?

Probably cheap route...
My bad, I meant Johns, not Goyer :x
If anything it should be the same if not higher..I mean a rewrite is a blank template. All that talk about people not being happy with the original script etc has now been erased from existence now that theyre starting over. I'm sure Ben and Geoff will still have a say in the script, but now they have the additional input from the director who's vision they are going to follow
Interesting. I liked Tarzan. It wasn't as bad as critics led me to believe. It was a good effort at grounding the character.
I just want this movie to come out. I liked Affleck's Batman a hell of a lot. I'm positive that if the trend continues with DCEU films, we ain't getting anything past Aquaman. Semi-disappointing, but maybe something good could come out of that. Idk.
The writing was atrocious. Like, they literally used the most deus ex machina to resolve the third act.

Hopefully they give him more than six weeks to write it this time around.
Well they have no director and not pulling double-duty... so should be fine.
It is a little worrying that they can't seem to get any projects off the ground after Aqua. But here's hoping...
Flash, GLC, Cyborg, Shazam, Black Adam, none of that shit comin out.
I want to see Dwayne as Black Adam so much tho.
Shazam just already has a script and a director in talks. GLC just got two scriptwriters early this month. Stop bellyaching.
Shazam and Black Adam aren't even being handled by WB.
Which is weird, does that mean he won't be in the DCEU? Makes no sense
But going by the most recent news on DC products, even if a movie has a script or a director it could go back to page one. Even I am a little worried about it.

Exactly. It was probably a concession WB had to make to have Reeves on board. Nothing out of the ordinary, that's how negociations work
Nah. Shazam and Black Adam being handled by New Line means everything can work smoothly for it. And latest word is it's still in the DCEU.
The only reason we're seeing things go back to page one is because of new management moving things along.

Possibly beneficial side effect to this is having it land closer to Nightwing. The two may inform each other in a way that wouldn't have been ingrained before.

Legend of Tarzan writing was pretty good though. A good redbox flick. The visual style of the whole film was just very unappealing and boring
I stopped paying attention around the third act just cuz I was at a gathering, but what I saw I really liked. Tbh, it's a Tarzan movie. I'm not going into that movie expecting to be told a great story. I had other things I wanted to focus on like the action, the jungle scenes and the gorillas. I like the look of David Yates movies.
Nothing in Tarzan is indicative of what we can expect from a SS2. More than likely, the plotting is going to take a backseat again to focus on the Squad and plenty of writers in Hollywood can do that.
I think I just wanted to talk Tarzan lol.
The biggest thing they should do with the writing of SS2 is make sure there's a reason for each of the members. Almost like an old school Zelda dungeon where the weapons are needed for each dungeon. Picking random people kinda makes for some weaksauce... use the characters for their strengths. Like Harley was there for no reason other than marketing. She causes more problems than anything. Croc going underwater to plant the bomb is a good use of powers that only he has same with Diablo. Flag, ehhh, weak but okay it's there. Boomerang is there cause why? Give us a reason that Amanda picked these people.

He gets no movies.
That was on the set of Nomis, I believe. Maybe one of the crew's kids.
Ahh that makes sense. Sometime I forget he's filming movies other than DCEU lol. I like the Akita joke
