The same way he let Man of Steel happen, I suppose.
OK, granted, I haven't seen that movie yet, so I probably shouldn't judge. But I have read some reviews and am familiar with Snyder's other work to know the dude prefers explosions and fisticuffs more than character development. While a dose of that is necessary for a superhero flick, it doesn't need to be overkill.
true ... i did see man of steel ... i liked it enough as a superhero movie but it clearly lacked the depth of the dark knight trilogy ... i wonder if nolan has been compromised like pixar has been with disney ... the problem is hollywood deals strictly in dollars ... they only see $$$ in this project ...
I've been wrong before. Michael Keaton as Batman? No, thank you. I was wrong. Heath Ledger as the Joker? No, thank you. I was wrong. I'm reserving my judgement on Affleck as Batman....although I'm wary.
If it was Chris Nolan directing and had his brother Jonathan along to clean up the script and story Goyer came up with, I would have faith. But I can't see Snyder/Goyer making this good.

I think Nolan and Legendary films have ended their partnership with Warner Bros. From what I read Nolan was not pleased with a lot of Man of Steel.
With the direction DC is heading, I don't blame Nolan for distancing himself from them.

Afleck doesnt have a very deep voice at all. I hope he doesnt embarrass himself and do a silly gravely voice like Bale did that made it sound like he was trying to talk while pooping in a library. :fp:

They have, but from what understand Nolan is still involved as the EP and Warner and Legendary are sharing a stake in Nolan's next project, "Interstellar."
I see Affleck as more a lazy choice rather than a bad choice. I'm still tempering my disappointment and will judge for myself after seeing what they do with it.

i get bale didn't want the part, but if the studio is faced with the option of affleck or throwing enough cash in bale's direction until he says yes... you start throwing bills.
Well, at least I still have my Nolan films to watch, my animated movies with the incomparable Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly, my comic books, and my imagination. All of which are better than the $hit storm this movie will likely be. Mother f--ing sigh.
what'd you think of animated Year One? watched it on netflix the other night for the first time in a while. i need to reread the comic, but i don't remember it being so gordon heavy as portrayed in the movie.
So is this movie going to be 1hr and 50 min of Superman and then when they introduce krytonite to the movie, enter Batman cause that is all the help Superman would need.
"hey batman, why don't you go get your helicopter and I'll fly there and meet you"
"hey batman, check out the chicks having naked pillow fights through this wall"
"hey batman, want to know why they really call me the, "man of steel""

Haven't seen the flick, but now that it's on Netflix I totally will! Friday night is planned.
How did you like the film? The book is VERY Gordon heavy. Batman is practically a supporting character in it to the point they could have just as easily called it Jim Gordon: Year One.

i liked the film a lot and i really think it did the comic justice. i just couldn't remember how gordon heavy it was.
i have it, it's on the bookshelf and i am probably going to pull it out this weekend and reread it to compare the two in better detail, but overall i thought they did a very good job. you shouldn't be disappointed.
next read on the list for me is Haunted Knight.
and just a quick edit above... i meant to say i watched it on roku, not netflix. but i think the two libraries pretty much mirror each other, so i don't think you will have problems finding it through netflix.
When people were posting that Ben affleck was the new batman, for some reason I was thinking of Ben stiller instead, . That would have been interesting to see him as batman.

I would love to see it happen, but nothing has been officially announced yet. The news site that's being sourced isn't the best for correct information, but I believe Cranston would be the best choice. Hoping it happens.

looks like i have to root for superman now

like i said ... it's all about dollars ...
good read, although # 3 completely contradicts with mentioning his failure as daredevil in the beginning of the article.
My guess is Warners is banking on Argo Affleck and not Gigli Affleck.
And maybe he can give Snyder some directing tips on the side while they are filming.

We are headed for a future where studios only make comic book, star wars, and fast furious movies.
And hangover IV, V, VI, etc..
