I don't know what to believe anymore. I can come up with a rumor and it could be real. Idk.

I will say, Gal Gadot always looked like the only person to be excited to be doing DC movies.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Since it got buried on the last page, here's the video of him talking about it...

https://youtu.be/BuBxbSWZrkM?t=953

Time stamped at 15:50

He even says not to report on this!

No, Campea knows exactly what the fuck he is doing by mentioning it.

 

[Da-Kid]

Just make a HBO Batman show and leave this shit alone. They should have let the CW producers make this shit, they're the only ones who seem to understand how to make a competent universe.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Snyder killed this man's dreams.

 

[caliph95]

This whole thing is bullshit.

 

[AAMARMO]

Why dont they do the Nolan DC Extended Universe?

 

[Wingfan19]

Again. He shouldn't have even said anything, but he knows what he's doing. This is going to get clicks and attention.

I agree, he should've kept his mouth shut because he has to know some online rag was gonna run with it to get clicks.

 

[Alienous]

Someone needs to start a GoFundMe to pay for Ben to get out of his contract.

Cavill seems like he enjoys doing this.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

If he reckons its shit and shouldn't be listened to then why report it in the first place. What a hypocrite.

I scratched my head the entire time. He went on with this long rant and reasons why he shouldn't be listened to, then proceeds to drop that giant turd nugget on the table. Why he did it beats the shit out of me..was a weird thing, for sure.

Starts exactly at 15:55

 

[Discotheque]

Why dont they do the Nolan DC Extended Universe?

he doesn't owe these people anymore, he's given them everything.

 

[Username1198]

I liked batfleck but they need a new joker

 

[robotrock]

He looks done and tired and the DCCU isn't going good.
Hope he can leave and whatever he wants, a shame though, he is great as the Bat

someone post the gone girl copypasta

 

[Boke1879]

I agree, he should've kept his mouth shut because he has to know some online rag was gonna run with it to get clicks.

Exactly. He knew. It's all going to link back to this podcast giving it attention.

 

[Dalek]

So what Marvel character is Affleck going to audition for?

The In-Betweener

 

[Maintenance]

DC executives are probably like

 

[Smokey_Run]

Including Collider. Again, he knows exactly what he is doing.

 

[Ray Down]

Cavill seems like he enjoys doing this.

Sucks they never gave him a good movie, I don't think hes a terrible actor just that the material.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Someone needs to start a GoFundMe to pay for Ben to get out of his contact.

The very thought of seeing this with a picture of Affleck holding a sign that reads "Please help" has me cracking up.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Even though this is probably BS I wouldn't blame him if it was true

He's arguably the best Cinematic Batman to date trapped in the worst Cinematic Batman universe to date.

 

[Zen Aku]

Does Gal Gadot even have an excited face?

Spoiler

that was too easy.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

They should have let the CW producers make this shit, they're the only ones who seem to understand how to make a competent universe.

Worked so well last time.

 

[AAMARMO]

The In-Betweener

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

How come you don't get these kinda of rumors out of Marvel or Fox? Except for the Fantastic Four

Ike Perlmutter is satan's form on this plane and nobody wants to get on his bad side.

 

[broncobuster]

Yup. Shouldn't have said anything. Now this will be taken as gospel. Even though he cautioned.

But his wording still doesn't make sense. "take with a HUGE grain of salt, but I heard from 3 sources. Make no mistake he wants out."

Homie knew people would take the bait. It's so easy. Because of the troubled production to say additional BS and get "I knew it!" and all sorts of confirmation bias responses. And might as well take advantage of it. How often are threads made about Campea? other than RLM's parody of his show. Get that traffic.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Cavill seems like he enjoys doing this.

He wants that Man of Steel 2

 

[Anung]

Cavill seems like he enjoys doing this.

He certainly enjoys the money as he made certain everyone knew in that weird interview.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Worked so well last time.

Shitty studio rewrites of what was previously a competent script will do that to a movie

 

[GameAddict411]

He was terrible in BVS and I really doubt his effort in a stand alone movie would have been any better. I think all of DC's latest efforts in life action movies of their heroes and villains has been a complete disaster. They are not faithful to the comics or the characters and when you have a games like the arkham series totally doing a incredible job with the materiel, you know there is something wrong going on.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Not that reliable of a source, but its not that big of a reach either.

 

[Red]

Now Adam West can make his move.

Wasn't there just one last year?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

GODDAMMIT.

How do you fuck this up so badly, WB?

 

[Boke1879]

Yea we might totally get confirmation next week that Ben is out, but that still doesn't mean Campea should have said anything.

For all intent and purposes he's not sure about this "leak" but decided to say something. Like if it does happen he can say " I KNEW IT!"

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Shitty studio rewrites of what was previously a competent script will do that to a movie

And would likely happen again.

 

[jmdajr]

Fuuuuuu!

 

[Slayven]

Ike Perlmutter is satan's form on this plane and nobody wants to get on his bad side.

Satan is like the least scariest demon lord in Marvel

 

[FireBeaver]

He's too good for the DCEU.

 

[TheStruggler]

sad thing is he is a great batman its the suits upstairs that are fucking it up for everyone else

 

[Count Dookkake]

Wasn't there just one last year?

I'm sure he moves a bit more than that.

 

[DoctorFling]

Worked so well last time.

Maybe I'll be beaten for this, but I enjoyed Green Lantern more than Man of Steel, BvS or Suicide Squad.

 

[BlueTsunami]

He's too good for the DCEU.

Yep. Get out now Ben. This dumpster fire will continue to rage.

 

[Tugatrix]

WB you know what to do.

For as much as Cavizel made a great non batman batman in Person of Interest, I don't want to see him involved in this mess he don't deserve it.

 

[LionPride]

[Father_Brain]

Ike Perlmutter is satan's form on this plane and nobody wants to get on his bad side.

Ike Perlmutter has had nothing to do with Marvel Studios for well over a year now.

 

[Discotheque]

"CW writers would do a great job"

"BvS is worse than green lantern and the schumacher movies"....

praying for Logan to save us, this forum is lost.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Seriously though i'd straight take Caviezel replacing him, no question.

For as much as Cavizel made a great non batman batman in Person of Interest, I don't want to see him involved in this mess he don't deserve it.

True.

 

[Calvero]

“Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he wants out. He doesn’t want to be Batman anymore.”
Along with a warning to take what he’s heard with a grain of salt

i hate theseeeeeeee

 

[Slayven]

Meanwhile henry cavill is happy to have a gig

 

[duckroll]

"CW writers would do a great job"

Pffffft. That ripoff of The Last Of Us? Meh!
