Lex Luthor will be played by somebody. Maybe they are bald.

Lex Luthor will be played by somebody. Maybe they are bald.

That's about all you can go on at this point.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Pushed back to May 2016. Something beez up.

[B_Metal]

I read somewhere Batfleck had a leg injury, but it was on teh innerwebz so probably bullshit.

[FilmNerdJamie]

No injury. But execs and creatives were in meetings since this morning. Something bad beez happened.

[Anderson]

based on what's out so far. We should be in store for a late morning announcement tomorrow if not sooner due to leaks.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Affleck may have bailed. Or the whole thing could be dead, a la Superman Lives and Justice League: Mortal.

[Anderson]

Affleck may have bailed.

That's what will happen, if the other two options don't happen.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Turned into a dick measuring contest between Affleck and Goyer. Two camps that got way too much power and neither are agreeing on anything.

[Matt]

so is Affleck gone?

[Anderson]

so is Affleck gone?

Waiting to hear the word.

Basically, Goyer doesn't like that WB let Affleck take over, so he is using his contract to get all of Affleck's changes thrown out.

WB realizes that maybe Goyer shouldn't be on the project anymore, but he is a guy that can take his ball and give it away to any studio (i.e. He's off DC Movies, but he could go to Legendary and move properties/talent to other studios).

So, WB has to make a decision.


Do we stick with the Oscar winning team behind Argo to dig us out of a Man of Steel shaped hole or do we continue to appease David Goyer and his vision?

[gravedigger]

Seems like a pretty easy question to answer to me.

But I usually don't have to make decisions with billion dollar implications.

[Captain Russ]

I don't like the sound of those apples Will.

[BillyG]

Yeah I don't get how WB is even trying to think about this. Fuck off Goyer, we in the mothafuckin Phantoms business.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Jesse Eisenberg is Lex.
Jeremy Irons is Alfred.
