Originally posted by -Pr-There is no way it was intentional. At least not in terms of storytelling. When Bruce is talking to Aquaman, one second he's much fitter then another his face balloons up by quite a bit because of the reshoots. That is just jarring and totally not professional from Ben Affleck.
There's still a part of me that thinks that was intentional. A few times in the movie, he looks slower and older than you'd expect Batman to. Even when he's talking to Diana in one of the scenes, iirc it's touched on that he can't do this forever.I think this is because Snyder wanted to go full Frank Miller with Batman (a mistake in and of itself). He just didn't realise that you can't have THAT Batman in a Justice League setting. Unless he thought he'd found a way around it.
That or he was leading up to Batman Beyond, but I doubt that.
You can bring up the inconsistency with the warehouse fight in BvS, but if Snyder's shown anything, it's that consistency in storytelling is not a strength of his.
so much for affleck returning..
Deadline says it their article regarding Geoff Johns...

My feeling though, Bens heart isnt in it, so best to move on.
Plus recasting Batman would be the first step towards a soft reboot, which they desperately need.
I'm guessing Matt will replace him.
