It feels like it's only a matter of time before Ben officially jumps ship altogether. {nm} Feb 17, 16:03
He's contracted for one more so he would have to force WB's hand, like by going on a bender. {nm} Feb 17, 16:09
That would screw up his career altogether for a while. {nm} Feb 17, 16:23
Would suck but probably for the best. I'd say go the prequel route and cast somebody younger. {nm} Feb 17, 16:17
Unless JLEAG completely bombs, WB gonna want another one. {nm} Feb 17, 16:30
It would make things awkward if he bows out and still needs to do press for JLEAG... {nm} Feb 17, 16:47
In any case, I think moving forward Warner/DC should just focus on solo movies and forget the world building. {nm} Feb 17, 16:48
If he bows out it will definitely be after Justice League is released, maybe even after it comes out on home video. Feb 17, 17:34

Source of him wanting out is in my comment above. {nm} Feb 18, 07:41
