[Bronx-Man]

Yeah, they're gonna take the L on Justice League and just reboot this whole thing.

 

[PsychBat!]

welp...

 

[Volimar]

I see the reasoning, but it's still disappointing.

 

[Plywood]

inb4 whedon

 

[yuraya]

 

[smokeymicpot]

Lets redo it again.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Oh wow, i'm pretty sure this is the movie everybody been waiting for even non-fans of dceu.

Well aquaman still has James Wan but this is disappointing as hell.

Aquaman's really gonna be the best DCEU movie, isn't it?

What a world we live in.

 

[Solid SOAP]

It's time.

I am ready!

 

[Sanjuro]

McG is going to be great.

 

[GalacticToast]

Of course people are already in here, dicks out ready for the circle jerk.

What circle jerk? The one that thinks DCU movies are trash? Not exactly a stretch of the imagination. Affleck is better than that.

 

[Strike]

Well, shit.

 

[Strimei]

Hah, wow, god damn.

Just a burning dumpster at this rate.

 

[overcast]

Goddamn, wonder who's gonna step up.

Or maybe they'll wait to see what happens with Justice League.

 

[GK86]

DC stays losing.

 

[Brazil]

lololololol

Bury it, Warner/DC. It's over.

Release a short YouTube video with Superboy punching Zack Snyder in the face and reboot everything.

 

[Kthulhu]

Is Zach Snyder the only DCCU director that can stick with a project?

Maybe that's why he makes so many. He's the only guy they got.

 

[Pie and Beans]

DC movieverse is so, so fucked.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I had a feeling this project was going to fall apart somehow. With how Ben was talking and Live By Night's performance, I'm not really shocked he wants some space on this.

 

[jack_package_200]

Just give the rights to Batman to Marvel so he can join the Avengers already.

 

[Dahbomb]

Welp... there goes any hype for the Batman movie.

 

[Maintenance]

It's dead, Jim.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

This may sound bad at first, but he comes to the realization that everyone in this forum wanted right? That he shouldn't be in front of and behind the camera anymore. So what's really the problem.

The idea of Affleck directing this was almost universally liked on here from what I saw

 

[MasterCheeze]

I'm going to shit my eyes out smh

 

[thehypocrite]

Good News.

 

[StopMakingSense]

WOOOOW.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Are they gonna get a jobber, a famous yet terrible choice or Zack Snyder?

 

[CountAntonius]

DC Cinematic Universe is dead.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Man, that's too bad. Affleck's probably a better director than an actor.

 

[Evil's Bane]

Uh...at least the DC shows on the CW are alright?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I wouldn't mind Snyder honestly.

 

[ZeroX03]

He's a busy guy who just delivered a flop, along with WB's stubborn meddling, I can see why he wouldn't want the stress of multitasking.

But honestly I can't think of who else I'd want in there directing instead and do to justice. Other than you know who...

 

[broncobuster]

Live by Night's poor critical and commercial receptions hit him hard.

Maybe he asks Fincher to do him a solid...

 

[Veitsev]

Seems to me he just wants to give the "acting" portion it's due diligence and doesn't want to spread himself too thin with the directorial side of things.

Might delay the filming process but it doesn't sound too bad to me.

He wants out and is just doing the bare minimum that he was contractually obligated to do.

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

Yeah, they're gonna take the L on Justice League and just reboot this whole thing.

They could blow everyone's minds and have Darkseid not only show up but also win.

 

[DecoReturns]

So who's in line to direct, other then Zack.

 

[Chumley]

This may sound bad at first, but he comes to the realization that everyone in this forum wanted right? That he shouldn't be in front of and behind the camera anymore. So what's really the problem.

No one was saying this. He's still a great director even if Live by Night was a misfire, and his performance in BvS was the best thing about that movie.

 

[Goro Majima]

Burn it all to the ground

Start it over with a Batman film or two and build off of that

 

[Slime]

I guess he knows the end result is going to be shit and he doesn't want it mucking up his directorial filmography.

 

[Faynwulf]

It truly is a ride that never ends.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Hahahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAA



















FUCK.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if half his scenes in Justice League are a body double dubbed by a sound alike.

 

[Ross61]

The idea of Affleck directing this was almost universally liked on here from what I saw

And from what I saw many people were tired of Affleck in front of and behind the camera. And he realized it too.

 

[vatstep]

Goddamnit

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Yikes.

I liked him as Batman even thought BvS was awful, so at least he's still playing the role. None the less I'm feeling way less optimistic, hopefully someone decent steps up to direct.

 

[hipsterpants]

Aquaman's really gonna be the best DCEU movie, isn't it?

What a world we live in.

I was gonna say. It seems like Aquaman might end up being the only good DCEU movie before they reboot the whole thing lol.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Fuck..........

 

[FTF]

Live by Night's poor critical and commercial receptions hit him hard.

Maybe he asks Fincher to do him a solid...

I'd be the conductor of the hype train if that happens.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I don't believe some of the replies here. Didn't take long for all the negativity to pop up. He said he's fully dedicated to the role and that it takes quite a bit out of someone being the main character as well as a director. I don't see the harm in stepping down. If it's better for the film, so be it. Maybe they can get someone with more experience directing action. Let's wait and see what happens here.

 

[Ray Down]

That's too bad. From the moment he was announced as Batman I thought him directing the solo film was the most exciting part.

This...just burn it down guys.

In before they get Guy Ritchie for this...
