Wish Ben was still directing (not starring) tbh

he's all old and fat and s*** now

He's an director

Live By Night could've been good with co-writers tbh

I ain't giving up on him

I meant as for starring. Unless they purposely went with an older Batman then I could see it.

We still acting like Ben Affleck a great director 2019

Lol nah keep this dude away from roles tbh should just stick to directing

Three great movies in a row

You could just say yes . He isn’t a bad director but him directing and starring in Batman wouldn’t have been great

I mean it's one of those situations where niggas would love it regardless. Even as much hate BvS got niggas were still swoonin over batfleck while simultaneously acknowledging Batman was super dumb. Batman really is the perfect example of the reverse tinkerbell effect.

Saoirse Ronan is being rumored to play Barbara Gordon

This shaping up to be one of the hardest casts for a cbm.

i read somewhere that Zazie Beetz was also in talks for catwoman. Highkey would've prefered her over zoe.

mmm

interesting stuff lads

This bout to be GOAT

Can't wait for this

Omgggg, Reeves bout do make me buss out a meanie

Y'all heard this rumor about the dude who trained Keanu for John Wick is doing the same for Rob and his Batman role?
