I saw the preview of Snyders JL cut which, despite me hating his DC movies, I’m interested in seeing his take. But Batfleck making a return pleases me greatly.

Plus the Keaton '89 Batman will also return in the Flash movie!

And in news that will no doubt please @Devon Malcolm, Olivia Wilde has apparently been roped in to direct a Marvel movie in conjunction with Sony-

Probably not the right place to put this, but if you close your eyes it can be a movie. It can be your movie:
The Sandman Audio Book is quite a journey.

Doctor Destiny at the diner is quite the ordeal!

Really pleased about Affleck. Actually pleased for him. He deserved more and I'm glad he's getting a little extra.

So where does that leave the Robert Pattinson Batman film? Or is this just a one-shot thing for The Flash movie? which doesn’t exactly fill you with hope for it if they had to cram Batman in there

[LaGoosh]

The Pattison Batman is it's own thing, being kept separate completely from the wider DC stuff. While I can't say I was interested in another Batman movie, I am intrigued by this one because I fucking love RPatz and Matt Reeves has made some great movies.

I really hope the Synder cut is terrible, just to spite the awful awful people who have been campaigning for it.

It will be. Personally I enjoyed Justice League because it had less of Snyders takes on the DC Universe. I loved Watchmen but he’s output post that has been generally awful

The original cut was one of the most bang average movies I've ever sat through and I'll probably watch the Snyder Cut out of simple curiosity.

Really don't see what all the anger is about.

As soon as details started leaking it was pretty fucking obvious that it was eventually going to be released and cast members bigging it was the final confirmation for me.

The whole "campaign" was just an example of cynical exploitation and manipulation of a fanbase by a corporation imo. Drip feed some details and watch them go.

Cheapest PR machine ever.

Get the fuck in. He looks fantastic.

The sizzle reel has come out. It looks great but it’s not really a trailer. Big Match John maybe the stand out in the way Big Dave was in Guardians
