THR: 'Batman' Negotiations Break Down With Director Matt Reeves (Exclusive) [TBATM] ~JPV~ Feb 17, 15:23

The possibility, however, exists that talks could resume when heads cool. {nm} ~JPV~ Feb 17, 15:24

because WB is so discriminating about who they give DC movies to {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 17, 15:35

It feels like it's only a matter of time before Ben officially jumps ship altogether. {nm} Jay_Beezy 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} Antibody Feb 17, 16:09

That would screw up his career altogether for a while. {nm} Jay_Beezy Feb 17, 16:23

Would suck but probably for the best. I'd say go the prequel route and cast somebody younger. {nm} ~JPV~ Feb 17, 16:17

Unless JLEAG completely bombs, WB gonna want another one. {nm} Antibody Feb 17, 16:30

It would make things awkward if he bows out and still needs to do press for JLEAG... {nm} ~JPV~ 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} ~JPV~ 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. MattW Feb 17, 17:34

Which means it's highly doubtful Warner will let him out of his contract. They're not going to wait well over a year to make it. {nm} ~JPV~ Feb 17, 17:49

This article from the NY Post paints a pretty bleak picture of Affleck and says he "doesn't want to be Batman anymore" tomcat90 Feb 18, 07:07
