The thing that comes to mind was Chris Terrio talking up how he was reading Umberto Eco while writing Batman v Superman.

He's still writing and producing along with starring in it, not exiting the whole production. He's still the most important part in the films development. There's also a gulf between skepticism and conspiracy theory.

Nolan got this.
But seriously, Arnofsky should go for it.

Momoa deserves a win. Him and Wan could be a great combo.

There had been a mention of Matt Reeves being looked at in the DCEU community OT.

Because it would be incredibly naive to think that DC/Warner's constant woes, the BvS aftermath and the performance of Live By Night had nothing to do with this.

Ben bailing out while he can...
That's not a rumor or a leak though. That's PR. PR tends to be positive. I'm just wondering if there was ever a time where something leaked out from DCCU and was reported by the trades, and it was clearly positive and exciting. Feels like we haven't had that sort of vibe for a long time now.

Rick Fumuyiwa directing The Flash... later followed by news he's leaving.
Oh, and Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master.

Bailing out by still writing, producing and being the lead role? Wow!

The statement they gave as to why SOUNDS good, and like this is a good thing, but that's the thing with prepared statements....
Next best get would be Fincher, but it will never happen.

Uh, yeah. He's very much involved still.
You cost me 75 million, I might put you on time out too.
Eh, I'm taking the word from the man himself instead a random GAF member.
Forget 85%, It'll be the first to even crack 60%.
Holy fucking shit....
What in the fuck is going on over at DC.
Affleck started reading that script like:
DC as a whole is doing just fine, it's WB where all the fuck-ups keep happening.
Sure seems like people are missing the point here. When he started and joined this venture he was gung ho but then after spending what the last two years working with these people he just wants the paycheck and not the headache of working with these people and if he is stepping down as director he clearly got meddled with so he throws hands up in air and just takes paycheck as fake producer and then focus on acting role.

Idek who thought giving a gangster movie a hundred million dollar budget was a good idea.

The only glimmer of hope I am getting from this is Affleck cowrote the script with Geoff Johns.
