I want Dredd's Pete Travis on this, really.

 

[Pandy]

If he thinks this is best move I trust in him. He really nailed role of Batman in BvS.

This.

Though... it might come across as passing the buck when we learn more about it. At least at this stage they could still get in a director people like... right?

 

[Schlorgan]

Joe Wright or Joe Carnahan would be good choices.

Synder would be awesome as well. I mean say what you want about BvS (and many of you have ) the solo Batman parts were the best parts of the movie.

That sort of intensity in a whole movie would be amazing.

Or it would just be exhausting and numbing.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

They should get someone who is a big fan of the Arkham games, so we can have a movie with some kick ass fight scenes, like the warehouse scene in BvS, which was fucking awesome and the best thing about that movie.

Throw in some detective stuff, maybe do a darker story like Hush or something, that would make a pretty cool Batman movie.

This story made me laugh. It's just so sad.

So Snyder?

Because a dude doesn't want to star, produce, write, AND direct a green screen super hero movie? It's not as bad as people think.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

So Snyder?

Rather have someone else at this point. Maybe if they get a really good writer but there are plenty of directors that can make decent action movies and Snyder hasn't exactly been great for the DC movies so far.

Wow, this is a mistake.

He's a better director than he is an actor.

Zero expectations for this film now.

Ideally, the writer and director would use Batman: The Animated Series as a template.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

The top name to replace Affleck in the director's chair right now is Matt Reeves, right? If he gets the gig, the film might still turn out to be pretty freaking kickass. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was fantastic and Reeves also has a background with horror films, which would be a great element to bring back to Batman.

Of course, there's still the issue of the film's script. Hope for Warner Bros' sake that they fix that up.

Eh, writing and directing for cartoons and live-action action films requires very different skill-sets. We can't keep relying on the old guard, flesh blood is required.

Well judging by the fact they went with King Arthur as template for BvS they are looking past children's cartoons and only using the most modern and sophisticated writing styles.

Arguably Matt Reeves would be a better choice than Affleck (unless Affleck managed to channel Gone Baby Gone). I don't know how optimistic I am he'll do it, but we'll see.

maybe they should look at comic books

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Chris Terrio wrote Martha sequence. That's his quote
"That began to be really interesting to me — that their conflict is not just due to manipulation, but their very existence. In the end, there’s a common humanity which I think is discovered at a certain moment in the film."

DCEU is done for, it's dead, it died today.

Snyder did, he went with King Arthur as template then tried to shoehorn his favorite comic panels inside it.
