Wait, What? WB Chooses Ben Affleck To Replace Christian Bale As Batman
  |  

According to Variety, Warner Brothers has their new Dark Knight – and it will be Ben Affleck. The “bomb in Phantoms yo” is to replace Christian Bale in the franchise, and will co-star alongside Henry Cavill as in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman crossover film slated as the direct sequel to Man Of Steel.

I’m surprised at this revelation. First off, I’ve never been able to picture Affleck as Bruce Wayne, much less Batman – his demeanor really doesn’t fit the characterization. That being said, Affleck has shown to be adaptable in some of his movies, so this might be an interesting result.

Rumor Patrol: WB Offers Christian Bale A $60 Million Reason To Play Batman Again
  |  @   |  

We’ve all heard that the Batman vs. Superman script was calling for a Batman/Bruce Wayne that is older and more experienced. A shortlist of actors which included names like Josh Brolin and Joe Manganiello, or even the fan requested Jon Hamm, would certainly fit the bill. Now a new report says that Warner Brothers is offering a large sum of money to Christian Bale to reprise his role Batman/Bruce Wayne.

The report comes from The Sun, so it’s best that we consider this a rumor, and tread lightly. It mentions that WB is offering Bale up to 40 million British pounds to reprise the role of the Caped Crusader. That means 40 million British pounds equates to $60 million dollars.

‘Justice League: Mortal’: The DC Comics Movie Event Forever Damned To Development Hell
  |  

It’s good to see Warner Bros. and DC Comics finally starting to learn from their past mistakes in bringing their classic comic book superhero stable to the big screen. Outside of Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy their future looked mighty bleak in the wake of the less-than-enthusiastic receptions given to Superman Returns and Green Lantern. Last week the long-in-the-works Man of Steel brought Superman back to the big screen to the tune of a record-smashing $128 million opening weekend despite mixed reviews. Warners/DC had been hedging their bets of Man of Steel being successful enough to begin constructing a long-running cinematic universe of multiple superhero movie franchises to rival Marvel Studios, with the end result being an all-star Justice League team-up film.

However, the Justice League movie has proved to be of even greater difficulty to get off the ground than the film adventure of any single DCU character. Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall took a crack at the project last year but his efforts were eventually discarded by the studio in favor of a fresh start overseen by David S. Goyer, the writer and hardcore comic fan who helped make Blade the first lucrative feature franchise out of a Marvel character and also co-wrote Batman Begins and wrote Man of Steel, as part of a three-picture deal that also includes a naturally inevitable Man of Steel sequel.
