WB to announce Superman/Batman & JLA movies

That's still good news for MOS to outsell IM3, that's still $$$$$

Yeah and I'd say DVD/BLU-RAY Sales gives us a much better indication of how many people actually liked the movie.

Hype hits the theaters whether the films are good or bad. But you tend to only buy the films you liked.

Didn't expect it, TBH.

Will Ben Affleck Direct 'Justice League' Movie?

bits of information are starting to trickle out, and there is some informed speculation worth considering at this point, including whetherBatman vs. Superman will be followed by a Justice League movie, and who will be sitting in the director’s chair on a project that could be worth a couple of billion dollars at the box office

Within a few months of joining the production, Affleck had provided plenty of input and brought Oscar-winning Argo scribe Chris Terrio in to do rewrites on the script.

should we start discussing the possibility that Warner might be negotiating with Ben Affleck to direct Justice League?

This is a project Affleck was previously offered, after all, and he was their top choice at the time. Additionally, the schedule could make it hard for Snyder to helm both films. And a big hint might’ve come from the news this week thatAffleck has pulled out of directing The Middle Man pilot — and if that was merely due to his role in Batman vs. Superman, why did it take this many months for him to withdraw, since shooting for the movie has actually barely been delayed at all (and it still has a shot at starting on time after all, it seems)? Perhaps Affleck’s schedule is being rearranged to make room for aJustice League directing job.

My gut says that I'd be okay with Affleck doing it, but I can't be sure until the MOS sequel, tbh.

I'd be thrilled if he does it, but I'd also like him on the stand alone Batman films, too. WB adding one of the best directors in Hollywood would be a plus for the DC cinematic universe.

I agree, but only in the context that he actually shows us that he can work in the superhero genre as well as he can in others.

I hope so, but I think Ben is smart enough to know what his limits are as a director. If I was a high profile director, I should know whether or not I can direct a multi billion dollar franchise.

Sadly, so many directors are unable to do that very thing.

I give Affleck the benefit of the doubt for now, but obviously not gonna be sure until we see more of the new movie.

Honestly, the MOS sequel can suck, but Ben's direction of the JLA can still be good.

This is assuming he's directing, but I doubt he will.

If MOS' sequel sucks, I don't expect to see much of a JLA movie at all.

Not necessarily. Blockbusters can suck, but still make a lot of money. The MOS sequel will more than likely make more money than MOS, since Batman is in there.

You say that like all his movies are bad, or something.

Snyder is like a more ultra violent version of Michael Bay. His films have gotten a little more critical respect than Bay, but all of them have gotten somewhat mixed to lousy reviews. It's telling when his highest ranked movie on Rotten Tomatoes is the Dawn Of The Dead remake, at 75%. 300 & Watchmen are at 60% & 64%, respectfully, and everything else is rotten.

^ Yeah but movie fan ratings are a lot higher for all those films.

Screw the critics. Everyone I know whose seen 300 loved it.

Jesse Eisenberg cast as Lex Luther. I wish I was kidding, but it's true. LOL!! Wow...

40-year old Batman.

Young as phuck Lex Luthor. 👆

So do you think the People's Choice Awards are worth more than the Oscars, then?

Yeah, me too. I would give them props for this if it's a joke because I fell for it. I really want to like this movie... I really do.
