Three stand-alone Batman films planned after highly successful BvS screening

[ImmortalNemesis]

This is GREAT news for Batman v Superman


According to an industry source who will remain anonymous, a cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was screened for the film's crew and Warner bosses within the past 24 hours or so. "It's a near finished cut but not locked," our source tells us.

That screening was, we're told, a glowing success - to the point where Zack Snyder's movie received a "standing ovation".

Warner is said to be so impressed with Affleck's performance as Batman that it's apparently in the process of making an extended, "Golden deal", which could see the actor play the Caped Crusader in a trilogy of stand-alone movies, not the single outing already announced.

I want to see them do Under the Red Hood.

Yay more Comic Book films with the exact same characters and scenarios!
This

I will see a Batman movie though. He is just about the only compelling, interesting character out there.

Haven't seen any movie Marvel has put out in the last 2-3 year except GOTG... Or at least, haven't enjoyed any, apart from GOTG. Thought Avengers 1 was an extremely overrated movie.

I'm just not interested in a Ben Affleck Batman trilogy

This guy KNOWS.

Batman Begins
Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises
Spiderman-2
Watchmen

DC DOMINATES the GOAT comic book movie list. The only Marvel one isn't even really a Marvel one (Spiderman 2).

Marvel makes volume, DC makes quality.

[Jailblazers7]

I'd kinda like to see Affleck get a chance to direct one of them at least. But honestly, I think Affleck as Batman is a good casting. Especially if he doesn't have to do too much Bruce Wayne, playboy type shit because I don't think he could pull that off. It's not like Christian Bale was some epic performance. Get a good director who can tell the stories and 50% of the film will just be some dude in a costume performing choreographed action sequences anyway.

It's already been announced that Affleck will be directing and co-writing the first solo film with Geoff Johns, one of DC's best writers.

[West-Side]

Hard to beat DC when they have the Dark Knight.
Not only the best comic book movie but one of the greatest films to ever grace the big screen. Top fifty, easily.

^^^ it's all about that right now...Batman is old news

Deadpool is going to have a trilogy of his own...a rated R trilogy, no kiddies allowed. This shit is really going to work. Deadpool is cool as fck, funny, and best of all extremely violent. Batman, Alfred, and his ridiculous car are *yawn* at this point.

So basically like every other Marvel movie? They try to make all of their heroes funny instead of savage like DC does. But you're probably not funny in real life so you enjoy that ha?

Btw, robert downey jr and his iron movies are the equivalent of johnny depp and his pirates films, a waste of talent for the pursuit of cash. Roberts best film was and still is LESS THAN ZERO. Sad to watch him in iron man trying to pop corny jokes.

If you really think about it, Robert Downey Jr played the same character in Sherlock Holmes as he did as Iron Man. Pretty much the same. His style of comedy has gotten so over saturated.

[QuebecBaller]

Let's hope for a come back of The Penguin and The Riddler in this trilogy

No, not like every other Marvel movie...this one is rated-R and that can make all the difference in the world.


Not sure why you are trying to make this into a marvel vs. DC thing...DC has had some great shit. Watchmen (rated-R) is very respectable as is The Dark Knight. Guardians was fantastic and DeadPool will be as well.

You are only doing yourself a disservice by declaring all of Marvel's movie to suck because at that point you have already made up your mind before the movie is even out, you're going to hate all of them no how good or bad they are.

Ummm i get that movies are made for profit, but you're supposed to add watchable content. Latest thor movie was a crapfest. Latest avengers was HORRIBLE. I will be watching deadpool, and i hope it's good but it's difficult to believe that when marvel is behind it.

I like a lot of marvel movies, but this annoys the shit out of me. It feels like every character is identical - the sarcastic and witty hero who wins every single time. None of the characters have their own personalities really, they are all just comedians with super powers. Its like Aaron Sorkin is writing all the dialogue, someone always has to drop some stupid "witty" one-liner every time anything happens, and it gets old.

This.

[~primetime~]

I agree that shit like Thor and the latest Avengers were a snooze fest but I don't look at those and then declare every single Marvel movie to be crap. That would be silly. Superman Returns was crap, doesn't mean much to other DC flicks.

I actually really liked Avengers 2.
How was it a snooze fest??

[~primetime~]

Really, my main issue with Batman is that I am just tired of that story, it's old to me now.

been there done that



I mean what could they possibly do in this new trilogy to wow me?...His parents die in an alley, he is now a trillionaire on a mission to rid Gotham of crime...okay, I've seen that.

I think in today's society, anything that is "feel good" has mass appeal. That's what marvel does, feel good movies. Rarely do they portray their characters in a dark moment. Nolan painted batman blacker than black. I'd mu cheaper rather watch a superhero be in a rut and climb themselves out of a hole than a superhero poping jokes. If i want to laugh, I'll watchold dave chappelle episodes, not a superhero film.

I agree with this. Even when it was announced, I felt like Affleck was a compelling choice, even if I wasn't always thrilled with his acting. And I just read an article at lunch where Molly Lambert described him as having a sleazeball charm, which I hadn't really considered, but it's true. And he came up playing sort charming scumbags and bullies. There can be a little of that in a vengeful Batman, or even in certain depictions of Bruce Wayne. Bale's Bruce Wayne was like that, and honestly I feel like Affleck could carry that character more. She mentioned the Dazed and Confused character, and the Mallrats character, and how he was a perfect fit for Nick Dunne in Gone Girl. But I'd add his philandering scummy politician in State of Play, which is a really good, generally forgotten about movie.

And I'm glad this is saying he's got a directing call. Because while he's a good actor, with a particular niche, he's a really top notch director from what we've seen so far.


That said I'm still a little surprised they'd go this far right at this moment. The movie hasn't been released. Who knows how it will be received. I've got some doubts personally. And in addition, he's in the middle of this personal thing with the split from his wife, and who knows how that affects the his sellability moving forward.

Am I the only one that has been genuinely impressed with Affleck's career lately?
Both as a director and actor.

The Town, Gone Girl are two of the better films I've seen in the last 5 years; he did good in both, as a director and an actor.

[highwhey]

And it would still be a better trilogy than avengers or ironman. Where are the villains in marvel? They're never really a threat to the characters. Whereareas batman had his back broken and displayed his vulnerability, marvel could never do that to their characters lol.

That daredevil show on netflix was tight tho. Because they didn't pop jokes 24/7 and ACTUALLY DID SUPERHERO SH1T LIKE FIGHT BAD DUDES.

[NumberSix]

Ben Affleck..........


:no:

Gone girl was legitness. Had no idea affleck had his hand in directing that film.

[navy]

Stop fanboying over things you havent even seen lol.

I think Affleck is a great batman in looks and he is a good actor, but these movies could end up fantastic 4 garbage.

[West-Side]

I can't think of any actor better suited for the next Batman than Matthew McConaughey or Jeremy Renner; both terrific actors, and got that "playboy" look to them.

Maybe even someone like Ryan Gosling.

[West-Side]

Gone girl was legitness. Had no idea affleck had his hand in directing that film.

No he didn't (I don't think) but he starred in it.
He directed The Town, which I thought was a fantastic action flick. Great characterization and camera work.

I'm a big fan of Mcconaughey but not for batman unless he's fighting crime in Mississippi :oldlol:

[Jailblazers7]

He didn't that was a Fincher film. He directed The Town but just acted in Gone Girl.

[West-Side]

His versatility and charm is perfect, IMO.

[NumberSix]

Colin Farrell would be good as a "Dark Knight Returns" era Batman if he was a bigger guy.

Ben Affleck just seems like a goofy choice.

[SpecialQue]

Three Batman films and (probably) no origin stories? Hell yes.

You don't think Joe Pesci or Jack Black could pull it off?

[GreggPopazit]

So the crew liked the movie? I'm pretty sure they are more biased. Let me know when we have reactions from the public and critics.

[GreggPopazit]

You don't think Joe Pesci or Jack Black could pull it off?

Yes to Pesci, no to Jack Black.

I'm still sad we never got to see a Penguin played by Phillip Seymore Hoffman.

[ThePhantomCreep]

They're talking about rebooting Batman again?! :facepalm

I have a few words to say about that: The Spiderman reboot. That's the caliber of films you're likely to get with the new Batmans. Movies like TDK don't grow on trees.

Batman Begins and to a lesser extent Dark Knight Rises were absolutely great too.

Always felt Affleck would make a great Bruce.

Let's see how fat he looks as Batman all movie.

Nolan's Batman was supposed to be a standalone trilogy which is why they are rebooting but I dont think they arw going the way of Spiderman 2 because they are showing in BvS an older Batman (Jason Todd is already dead for example) and 2nd Robin died when Batman was in his thirties or older.

[Le Shaqtus]

BvS is going to be trash anyway.

[ImmortalNemesis]

BvS is going to be trash anyway.
Wrong.

Saved.

Will bump and lol.

[nightprowler10]

I don't know how you can rip on Affleck as Bruce Wayne without watching DoJ. How many people bashed on Ledger as Joker before TDK's release?

Anyway, I was happy with one film but a trilogy? I'm cautiously optimistic but it might be overkill. If there's no origin story, then I'm even more optimistic. I just hope there's not a whole movie dedicated to Leto's Joker. I'd rather have an Arkham video game series type relationship between Batman and Joker throughout the trilogy but without so much focus on the Joker.

You know, I was just thinking that there haven't been enough comic book movies made in the last 10 years. Particularly the Batman story has been almost completely forgotten by Hollywood.

Great to hear someone is finally taking the time to revisit this classic.

The comic book genre has been driven into the ground.

Still heck of a lot more interesting than Superman. Villains tend to be more interesting for most heroes to me though. Venom (villain/anti-hero) and Carnage are more interesting than Spider-man. Every villain is more interesting than Superman. Magneto is more interesting than a majority of X-men. Loki > Thor. Iron Man may be more interesting than his villains, but that is also because his villains suck.

Yup, and this is why Batman stories are my favorite because Batman villains are great. Joker, 2 Face, Ra's al-Ghul, Scarecrow at times.
