The Batman (2022)

Golgo has abandoned ship. 😂

They should have got Affleck to direct Justice League. I was always thinking it's a bit much to Star in and Script and Produce and Direct a solo Batman film.

Justice League would have been a more manageable project for him. He'd definitely do a better job than Snyder, that's for sure.

Quit with the excuses.

Live by Night lost like $75 million.

Ben Affleck is painfully overrated.

I kknow folks here won't like but IDGAF....

Affleck might leave Batman role, specualton obviously but not at all surprising if it turns true

Of course Live by Night has somehting to do with it.. However lets not pretend that he hasn;t had success directing himself before.. Also explain his hold up of hemhawing aorund when asked about the script?? he is riting the damn f&cking thing right?????? Also you are aware that movie srtudios like to lie whn they put out press releases..

Is Zack still under a rock?? How come he isn;t here?? Is he crying still? Someone check up on him

😬 That's really not nice.

Might be a good thing, tbh.

Oh my God, a George Miller-directed Batman film would be f^cking amazing, or at least a lot better than most others.

But I'd still rather he keep his talents toward a new Mad Max film.

Matt Reeves would be cool, too.

Well George Miller was going to do a Justice League Movie back in the day, Until the writer's strike kicked in

he'd probably would've done a better job then Zack Snyder.

Given what was said about that movie, I'm not so sure.

Reeves will prolly be a yes man lol

Personally I'd love to see Frank Miller & Robert Rodriguez team up again & do a Sin City style Batman flick.

And no it doesn't have to be a nod or rendition of TDKR.

Yeah this could just be the first step to him saying he's not doing Batman anymore.

Lol. What a disaster. WB/DC couldnt screw this Universe up more if their lives depended on it.

So, Flash is a mess, rumours about WW are not very flattering right now, Affleck might be out, and Black Adam/Shazam seems to be going nowhere slowly, despite Dwayne Johnson's enthusiasm? Yeah, the DCEU is royally screwed right now.

Weird thing is, the DCAU is pretty decent overall. I enjoy most of those films. But they just can't seem to translate that to a live-action franchise.

I can't help speculating what it would have been like if DC had the directors Marvel has. Starting with Jon Favreau who directed the first Iron Man, Marvel has simply been pushing all the right buttons. Kenneth Branagh did an admirable job on Thor, the Russo brothers have been killing it, Jamie Gunn knocked it out of the park and Joss Whedon proved once again why he is such a fanboy and fangirl favourite.

Unless DC somehow brokers a deal with Marvel (and wouldn't that be fantastic) who would be the best directors if you could pick for DC? Personally, I would like to see the Wachowskis's take. I loved Speed Racer and of course The Matrix will forever be THE movie that signified the end 0 the 90s and the beginning of the 00s.

While I am not always a fan of Peter Berg (his recent love affair with Mark Wahlberg is starting to grate on my nerves) when he is good, he is very good. See The Rundown and Hancock for examples. And maybe Ron Howard? He is maybe not the obvious first choice for a superhero movie, but nobody can deny the man makes good, epic movies.

I'd have to think about this a bit. Matthew Vaughn might be worth approaching. In terms of directing, his work on things like the first Kickass, X-Men: First Class, as well as Kingsman, would indicate that he has a pretty solid understanding of what makes these types of films work. Some of the others who you mentioned, in particular the Wachowskis, have been a bit hit-and-miss in recent times, IMO. Sense8 was apparently pretty good (I never watched it myself), but Jupiter Ascending was absolute garbage, and I honestly didn't care for Cloud Atlas either.

That final scene alone of Kick-Ass should make Vaughn a worthy contender. I am holding thumbs for him that Kingsman: The Golden Circle will be a worthy sequel. In which case - yes, certainly he would make a good choice.

As for the Wachowskis... I know they are a risk. But DC needs a win,they need it big and they need it bad. (Uhmm, yes, I know what that sounds like.)

What about Luc Besson? Now that he is finished with Valerian he should be available, and while (like the Wachowskis) he can be a bit hit-and-miss when he is good he is not just good, he is game-changing good (think Leon, Fifth Element, Big Blue...)
