I'm specifically talking about when they say batman was going to have a child with lois once Superman was dead, even tho that was scrapped. Also, we've seen in the comics where bruce has literally taken lois in front of clark. we've seen this in the Superman animated show we've seen this in batman and Hush the animated movie.

Tom Rhys Harries shines in DC Studios' Clayface, but the R-rated horror movie is a disappointingly tame and forgettable affair. It should have been a game-changer; instead, it's DC's Morbius moment.

This reviewer gave Superman a 5/5 btw.

With a budget of just $7 million, You Can See Everything is opening to $15 million at the box office, which is close to Clayface’s projected $20 million opening despite the DC movie having a $40 million budget.

I thought Clayface had no competition. I was wrong. 😭

A fucking no name movie is out here competing with a DC movie. 😭💀

The fact that a no name movie is performing this well compared to a movie from a so called "massive" brand like DC is hilarious. It just shows how much damage James Gunn has done to the DC brand and how much audiences are rejecting his DCU. DC brand is dead 💀

This is the second original live action DCU series. What a Joke🦍💩

Pissmaker is DCEU series

The actor would have played the assassin Deathstroke as he attempted to "dismantle Batman's entire life", according to his new memoir "Bloodlines."

Joe Manganiello is sharing key details about Ben Affleck's Batman film that never saw the light of day.

The True Blood star, who briefly appeared as DC supervillain Deathstroke in Justice League, says that he was set to reprise the role as the main villain in an unmade Batman movie that Affleck planned to write, direct, produce, and star in.

Manganiello writes that Affleck planned to make the film “a superhero version of David Fincher’s The Game” that would see Deathstroke “dismantle Batman’s entire life” after being led to believe that the Caped Crusader murdered his son.

The Magic Mike actor says that Deathstroke’s revenge would include killing Commissioner Gordon (played by J.K. Simmons in prior DC movies), taking Alfred Pennyworth (Jeremy Irons) hostage, and breaking into the Batcave. He also claims that the film would have featured a mid-movie fight in which “Deathstroke would nearly kill both Batman and Batgirl before they would both escape via an aboveground train.”

(Batgirl never appeared in this iteration of the screen DC universe, though Leslie Grace played her in a solo film that was ultimately shelved as part of a Warner Bros. tax write-off. Manganiello does not specify who might have played Batgirl in Affleck’s film.)

Manganiello says the film would have ended with a “climactic one-on-one showdown through the streets of Gotham” that Affleck said would be inspired by a CGI fight sequence from the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game helmed by Tim Miller. “It sounded good to me,” Manganiello writes. “I told Ben how great I thought his films were, especially The Town, and how I was really looking forward to seeing his Best Picture version of a Batman movie.”

This movie probably went under the radar however it is appreciated, one of Zack Synders earlier movies he directed.

''z-zack snyder didn't understood superman , because muh he doesn't smile and he is soooo dark and brooding''-take that has been around since 13 years (and refuted as well)

Once again, Snyder is the blueprint.

WB about to show Matt Reeves what happens to talented directors with a unique vision.

Another Flop

Real Snyder fans know that the Gunn verse is about to meet its end in 2027. Superman 2025 failed to surpass Man of Steel in the box office. Supergirl flopped. Clayface will flop. Lanterns was awful. At this point, Gunn's DC universe has been a failure. That's a good thing. Gunn ruined something he created. At this point, it is only a matter of time before his inevitable exit. It is a great thing that individuals like Ann Sarnoff, Walter Hamada, Toby Emerich and soon Peter Safran are and will be gone so they don't get in Snyder's way. The new regime should bring back Snyder. They should be able to see that his movies actually made money. We will the DC brand once again be a powerhouse under the guide of Zack Snyder.

For real

Ben Affleck may have hung up the cape and cowl, but his frustrations with the Batman years are proving harder to leave behind. While promoting his new Netflix kidnapping thriller, “Animals,” the actor and director revisited his troubled experience in Zack Snyder’s DC universe on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. In particular, Affleck expressed his anger over how Warner Bros. handled Snyder’s departure from “Justice League,” a bitter experience that also helped extinguish his own ambitions to direct a standalone Batman movie.

That project reportedly would have ventured into Arkham Asylum and featured Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke, a character briefly introduced in a post-credits scene. But whatever enthusiasm Affleck once had for the film evaporated after “Justice League.” “I was considering at a time directing a standalone Batman movie after that and did not feel like ultimately I wanted to do that,” he explained.

However, it wasn’t the character that soured him on the experience. Affleck still has considerable affection for his Dark Knight interpretation, particularly the older, battle-scarred version inspired by Frank Miller’s comics. “And I liked playing that character, particularly this sort of older, broken, very much derived from—wholly derived from Frank Miller’s book. That’s what we were trying to do with that ‘Batman v Superman,’” he said.

Unfortunately, that enthusiasm couldn’t survive what happened next. “But, you know, the truth is that the experience of ‘Justice League’ for me was so, so negative for lots of different reasons,” Affleck recalled. “Some of which having to do just with where I was personally, some of which having to do with some of the tragedy that happened during that time.”

For Affleck, the production became a particularly ugly example of what happens when a studio and its director find themselves fundamentally at odds. “I really saw how not to make a movie like that, which is when the studio is at odds with the filmmaker,” he explained. “You know, starting at the worst possible, you’re really making a mistake. And, you know, that was what really doomed that.”

More pointedly, Affleck suggested that Snyder’s departure wasn’t simply a matter of the filmmaker stepping away following a family tragedy. He believes the studio exploited those circumstances to remove him from the production.

“Boy, that was shitty, that him being taken off that movie and the reshoots that we did. That was the low—if you want the low point of my career, was that,” he said. “The personal thing, you know, somebody’s death by suicide, that eclipses everything. And then the way in which that was, I thought frankly, used as an excuse, I just thought was one of the shittiest things I’d ever seen.”

Affleck wasn’t the only cast member left with bitter memories of the production. He also alluded to the experiences of Ray Fisher, Gal Gadot, and others during the reshoots overseen by Snyder’s replacement, Joss Whedon, while acknowledging that much of what he knew came secondhand.

“And then the whole environment and vibe, much of which I wasn’t privy to, but that I sort of heard about secondhand in terms of Ray and Gal and other people’s experiences,” Affleck said. “It was just like, ‘Wow, this is about as gross as it gets.’”

Snyder eventually got an opportunity to revisit the film after the theatrical version, completed under Whedon’s supervision, received a largely negative response. Warner Bros. and HBO Max provided additional funding for the filmmaker to finish “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” a substantially longer version that arrived in 2021 to a warmer reception.

For Affleck, the whole ordeal appears to have left a lasting impression, even if he remains fond of the character he played.

Zacks movies were unique, and we loved them because he was different. He made bold, unexpected choices for the fans, not a committee of suits in a boardroom. His films might have been divisive for people who didnt want to engage with them, but the majority understood and saw his vision. Mature, grounded ideas in a mythic world.

When he was forced out by Warner Bros, the quality, writing and box office went to shit. They dont know what to do, because they dont have Zack to guide them. Now the MCU is suffering from the same thing. Bad writing, too silly, too childish, flopping. They are scared of making movies inspired by Zack Snyder, like many of their better films were, because he got removed. They think they cant make serious, gritty, adult movies for smart audiences anymore.

His removal had a ripple effect on Superhero movies in general. If we want better superhero movies in general, we have to restore the Snyderverse! Bring Zack back and let him inspire the rest!

I think Zack Snyder should step in and finish The Batman Part II if Matt Reeves can't.

After all, Snyder knows better than anyone what it's like to have to step away from a DC movie because of a family tragedy. Back in 2017, he left Justice League after losing his daughter, and Warner Bros. brought in Joss Whedon to finish the movie.

Instead of preserving Snyder's original vision, the film underwent major rewrites and reshoots, resulting in something different from what Snyder had intended.

That's exactly why I think Snyder would be a good choice. Having experienced firsthand what it's like to have another director take over his project and change his work, he'd probably be much more respectful of Matt Reeves' vision.

I genuinely believe Snyder would try to finish the movie the way Reeves intended rather than impose his own style or completely rewrite the story. He knows how much a director's creative vision means and how frustrating it can be to have that taken away.

Who better to respect another filmmaker's vision than someone who knows what it's like to have his own disregarded?
