If it is anywhere near as fantastic as BvS was, I am down with it. Bring it Batfleck.

This is sarcasm I hope.

 

[Lord Virgin]

This is sarcasm I hope.

No, I love the movie.

 

[Pops Maellard]

My uncle said the movie is fine though.

My uncle actually works for Hollywood and he said that Christian Bale is actually playing the executives in this article.

 

[DragonSworne]

No, I love the movie.

Martha would have loved you.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Martha would have loved you.

I love her too!

 

[Frozenprince]

I just don't believe a Warner who demanded reshoots of suicide squad, edited BvS down, has meddled every step of the way in their projects and is known for its meddling, wouldn't change a script they know needs touch up work.

 

[iamverificationimage]

If there is any truth to that it will make seeing Doctor Strange today even more enjoyable.

Dr Strange was surprisingly fucking good.

 

[Jason Frost]

Well my uncle works at Ben Affleck and he says the script was great.

I'll wait till I see the movie before I pass judgement. Plenty of movies have been saved in editing. Plus there'll no doubt be reshoot and rewrites.

Alright, we're all counting on you now.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Stay losing, Warner Bros.



When Ben Affleck is your last hope for anything you know you've fucked up bad.

Don't you get tired posting in threads you really, really don't like the content in it, or maybe, you really like bad news ?

Help me to understand your intentions coming into DC threads, please.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

I have no hope for the DCEU, but this rumor is shoddy at best.

 

[a916]

Lol, some random person overheard another random person talk about someone elses script...

LOL okay?

Even if it that was the case lol, don't care. Script can be hot garbage right now, as long as it ISN'T when the movie is filming.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Don't you get tired posting in threads you really, really don't like the content in it, or maybe, you really like bad news ?

Help me to understand your intentions coming into DC threads, please.

You're taking this way too personally.

 

[Izuna]

Another day I'm reminded of how I haven't enjoyed a single DC movie since Nolanverse ended ;(

 

[VincentMatts]

So he wanted to fix it and the studio told him no? That sounds like it's out of his hands right now.

he could quit

Another day I'm reminded of how I haven't enjoyed a single DC movie since Nolanverse ended ;(

Nolan made not only one of the best super hero trilogies ever, but also made TDK one of my top 10 movies ever. That will never happen again.

 

[Already Torn]

Did we?

I remember multiple threads about execs panicking about how bad the film was months in advance

 

[Kenzodielocke]

You're taking this way too personally.

Thanks, I have my answer now.

Also, if by personally you mean that I find your posts increasingly annoying, yeah, then I am taking your shitposting too personally.

 

[Lord Virgin]

He forgot us!

 

[Dash_Riprock]

How could you not enjoy the genius that was Green Lantern?

 

[Gastone]

If it is anywhere near as fantastic as BvS was, I am down with it. Bring it Batfleck.

You´re not allowed to say that Gaf!

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

He forgot us!

But we already have our own savior.

 

[Lord Virgin]

You´re not allowed to say that Gaf!

I can say whatever the fuck I want, what do these minions know about good movies anyway. Pssh.

But we already have our own savior.

The true gawd. SAVE US SNYDER!

 

[daviyoung]

No, I love the movie.

why?

 

[Raptor]

Nolan fucking sucks what the hell man.

 

[Lord Virgin]

why?

It reminds me of my mother.

Her name was Martha. It touched me on a very personal level.

 

[Sad Affleck]

I am sad.

 

[daviyoung]

It reminds me of my mother.

Her name was Martha. It touched me on a very personal level.

thanks for clarifying

 

[Raptor]

I am sad.

Tell you what Ben, polish that script, take a few years if you like, meanwhile make some good ol movies like The Town.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Was the Wonder Woman trailer too good or something? Whats with people in here going all "Yassss DC sucks I knew it!" propping this utterly random crap up.

It's not enough the movies get bad reviews usually, you need even more twisted validation? Whats your major malfuction

 

[Geist-]

The DCCU never stops entertaining with its incompetence. Affleck deserves better.

 

[Lord Virgin]

thanks for clarifying

No problem!

 

[shinobi602]

 

[Lord Virgin]

Well, tbf technically we haven't seen shit. And the reaction to this is basically the same as to him being cast as Batman. GAF is always wrong.

 

[Cipherr]

They ain't lying though.
You're all gonna see it.
It doesn't matter what the script is like.

Only Wonder Woman. I even eventually caved and saw SS in theatres and once again was disappointed. Those fools arent getting theatre money out of me except for WW. After that Ill wait for every DCEU movie to hit video or Netflix. Fuck that.

Did we?

Yes we did. And the same people that were all "You guys actually believe this shit!?" were the same ones doing major damage control after that hot mess hit the cinemas.

 

[Blader]

Affleck has said more than once that the script isn't ready and he doesn't want to commit to it until he's completely satisfied.

That said, the movie starts shooting in six months, so maybe he doesn't have a choice. :lol

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Every time there's a rumor that a DC movie is a mess, people try and brush it off down until the day the Rottentomato scores start coming out.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Rises was pretttty bad tho.

 

[Already Torn]

Well, tbf technically we haven't seen shit. And the reaction to this is basically the same as to him being cast as Batman. GAF is always wrong.

Except when it comes to the DCCU. Unless you're talking about the posters who said BvS would be good I guess.

 

[VincentMatts]

GAF might be, but the quality of everything DC after Nolan is not.

One day they'll learn.

One day...

Rises was pretttty bad tho.

At the very least its still a competent film with good editing and likable characters.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Ehh, Kubrick's efforts weren't always met with excitement and positive reactions. It took years for people to see his genius, same with Snyder. I am just ahead of the curve.

 

[opoth]

My uncle who works for Nintendo can vouch for this story.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

At the very least its still a competent film with good editing and likable characters.

FOR YOU.

 

[Adam_Vania]

just saw the Lego Batman trailer, it looks amazing.

they should get those guys to make the real movies and get Zach Snyder to make the Lego movies

 

[WickedLaharl]

At least we will always have Nolan's Batman

what a depressing thought. I still want to believe in ben but i'm afraid wb will meddle too much.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

1. Anyone can draw the same conclusion about Warner executives from the way the DC movies have turned out so far.

2. This could be a desperate ploy by Snyder to retain his overall authority with the DC movies because anyone can tell that Affleck's movie will be leagues better than the turds he's turned out.

3. Funny we didn't hear any rumors when BvS was in production.

4. It's Disney dollars in action.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

One day they'll learn.

One day...

Lets take a trip down memory lane

Or maybe here if you prefer

 

[opoth]

In terms of a trilogy closer, Rises makes Return of the Jedi look like Citizen Kane in comparison. It doesn't help that Nolan used it as a soapbox for his personal politics instead of making a compelling film. It's the movie that made me decide to never watch another Nolan film.

 

[tearsintherain]

Thats why TV is the new medium for good entertainment, blockbuster movies are just 2 hours of CGI wonder with stories that are normalized so language, idioms, references, etc aren't an issue for global audiences.

I used to go to the movies 8-10x a year a decade ago, now its basically 1-2 times a year. Movies coming to streaming/Redbox within 3-6 months of release isn't helping either.

Lol, your loss. Movie was fantastic. Bane GOAT.

 

[DeathyBoy]

The thread title implies that Ben submitted the messy script as a final draft but the rest of that article suggests that he's still working on it and the execs want to push it through anyway.

Maybe Ben didn't get the memo?
