Well that's cool. Maybe there's hope afterall..

It's from Variety, so they're pretty spot on. Plus Ben never said anything bad about the scrip, so..
Ben's also on record saying he wouldn't direct if the script wasn't right. So him stepping down as director is a bad sign no matter how it's spinned.

David Ayer was also a good director. So Won't make a difference if WB are pulling the strings.
Also no point in getting excited when the majority of directors they hire don't go through with the film anyway.

That's true, but there is really no way to know. Reeves is a fantastic director, so if WB doesn't step in, he'll do a fine job.

We know Affleck wants out. And he's also a fantastic director.
WB can throw in all ththe big names they want. That won't resolve the issues they're having. In fact the bigger names are the ones more likely to step down when they're not given enough creative control.
Thinking about it though, Aquaman's probably the one showing the most promise given Wan has stuck it out this whole time, and they seem to still be on track with their original release date.

I changed my mind, I love the movie now. Oh no I haven't seen it or anything, god no nothing like that. But I did find out a lot of people are apparently having some "buyers remorse" after seeing it..not due to the quality, but due to the one of the producers connections to Trump, lmao!
I guess some people tried to boycott it cuz of the Trump connection, but it debuted at #1 so that backfired spectacularly.

Ben Affleck stepped down as director of Warner Bros.'s The Batman, and now a report from Collider indicates that the actor/writer/director is wanting to leave DC films entirely - exiting as Batman. Citing three sources "connected to what's going on at Warner Bros.," Collider Movie Talk showrunner/host John Campea stated that Affleck is in talks with the studio to quit the project.
"Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he does want out. He doesn't want to be Batman anymore," said Campea. "I've been told, Ben Affleck is talking with Warner Bros. in an attempt to get out of being Batman. And if they do not let him out of being Batman, the standalone Batman film that ultimately happens will be the last time we see Ben Affleck as Batman."
