Because it's dope and if people want a soft reboot, there it is, all in the writing.
Pretty much. Man of Steel was amazing, BvS was great, Suicide Squad was average but fun.
Not to mention these movies made a lot of money.
You know what I realized today? When looked at on its own, the Batmobile from Batman & Robin is actually pretty fucking slick. Especially those giant-ass batwings on the back.
Obviously the bizarre lack of a canopy prevents it from achieving god-tier status (the wheels could use a bit of a redesign as well), but overall? I think it's pretty cool call-back to the elongated, art deco design of the Burton-mobile.

I can't get over the wings wobbling as it drives. BvS Batmobile is nearly the best, if not for being a little too big and having the unaesthetic gun on the front.

Bad dceu news to me is just slow news day for hollywood reporters. Easy clicks.
Not that it's necessary true or false, just that this bad news always somehow comes in spades.

Really like Momoa..we need a time machine, damn it!!!
So let me throw out a hypothetical: let's say Wonder Woman gets a warm reception and makes bank, but Justice League gets the usual Snyder reception and garners respectable numbers, what's the storyline going forward?
What are people going to be saying? Is it doom and gloom or a bit of optimism and hope?

Then Snyder is what we call the 'common denominator'.

But Snyder had a hand in Wonder Woman.

Not enough to be credited for any possible success. But it will certainly be mentioned with any shortcomings.
Snyder put up the money for it, so he'll get some credit. Quite frankly if the universe takes off after this year, it's because Snyder worked his ass off for like half a decade to bring these characters to the screen.
But anyways, with my hypothetical does the doom and gloom stall for a little bit? While we wait for Mamoaman, do we chill and talk about Amber Heard and how Lebron sucks?

Simple..
There it is. Look, I'm not really a fan of Gal Gadot. Lemme rephrase..I haven't seen her be good acting wise in anything I've seen, but I'm definitely a big fan of Monster, and Patty Jenkins is running the show, so I'm very optimistic. Most folks I've talked to are pretty pumped from watching the trailers..I think it'll do fine.

No doubt about that. Just like Man of Steel, it was all Zack's and Goyer's fault, had it been a massive success it was because of Nolan's tight leash and supervision.
It's the Internet spinning it's wheels again. I just don't see a situation where Affleck walks away from the DCU a whole NINE months before Justice League is released.
If/when Matt Reeves closes his deal with Warner Bros expect a press release with a quote from Ben Affleck about how excited he is to be working with Reeves etc,etc.

Man, Reeves is going to be bombarded with Batman questions in his Ape promo tour, lol.
Exactly what I'm thinking. The best part of Batman is when you see Batman, i.e. in the suit. ANYONE with the same build can play the part. It's not like any live action Batman ever delivered any scintillating dialogue in full costume. People loved Batman in BvS because of the suit design, tone, the way he was shot, and the fight choreography. Nothing that can't be done with another actor for a short time to establish why Bruce is no longer Batman (if Affleck is so sour that he won't even do it himself).

I kinda don't see the point. Recasting is a thing that happens. People would get over it, me thinks..

i wonder if he stipulates in his contract that the news doesn't come out until apes is out lol.
nobody wants the most vocal and annoying segment of the film press, the comic nerd media, constantly bombarding them with questions about this shit all the time
"So yeah this movie I was in made me recall some tough things in my past to get the performance right. Like my former addiction to drugs"
"Oh yeah that's cool...so what's it like fighting alongside spiderman and iron man in the new marvel movie. any hints on thanos in the next movie?"

You're being ridiculous with this here. EVERYONE is asking these questions. It's fucking Batman, homie. I know you like taking jabs, but these actors/directors are being asked questions about these high profile rolls by every single outlet right now, from YouTube guy 1,593 on up. Affleck isn't the first or the last that this has happened to..
We live in the information age and we're somehow wondering why folks are getting asked questions about future movies they're involved in? The hell? These folks know it comes with the job..if you're involved in anything DC/Marvel/Lucas, you're gonna get asked questions about it. Gosling gets questions about Blade Runner while talking La La..is that surprising all of the sudden?

Alf plz. Why must you counter my inflammatory nonsense with reasonable logic
I see your point for sure. But man I wonder if all this rumor mongering ever gets on their nerves.
Snyder prolly doing rage squats and bench presses in the gym right now as we all speculate about his universe being burnt down

Did they reboot the DCEU yet? can we get Brandon Routh back? Have they replaced Ben with Gerard Butler yet? Can we resume the superman's bastard son storyline? When's Nick Cage?
BvS is at least 300 times better. You wasted your time.

I'm just saying, this isn't some unique "funny book nerd" phenomenon. Once you're attached to a particular brand, it's a wrap. The recent question constantly asked of Keanu is when's Bill and Ted's coming back? Dude is on his Wick press junket, but everyone and their mother won't stop asking.
Same happened with Mads before Strange released.."What about Star Wars?" You can tell he was not thrilled about it, but he played along. Teller gets asked about Fan4stic..for whatever reason. Radcliffe has to endure Harry Potter comeback questions until he's dead lol. It's the nature of the beast..
Shit. In this very thread folks await the next Reddit rumor to pass the time before just a sentence or two is uttered by anyone involved with the DCEU. Folks are hungry for info. Info generates clicks. Clicks generates cash..and they're all in it for the money. Even at their most annoyed, they understand that everybody is eating..that's the game.
