Edit:
Cool picture though, if nothing else, this movie will have some badass action scenes.
The script can't be that bad, can it?
The plot thickens
Meanwhile Logan is getting rave reviews and is being hailed as TDK level good or better.
This same user stated:
As someone who knows the above statement to be false, I choose not to put much stock into his multi picture deal claim.
Regardless, that article and reddit post was from a few days ago.
Totally agree.
Damn...the negative PR surrounding the DCEU always manages to top itself.
@doubleoego, here's my problem with Campea. He asserts his "stories" or "sources" as so on the money, then whines the next few days about how people took him seriously. He was even adamant in tone about the earlier source saying Ben wanted out, and showed no sign of doubt.
If any of this is true, good lord... Without Ben and what his Batman could grow into, there's not much interest left in the DCEU for me. You all know me, I come for Batman and stay for Batman.
The only great alternative if Ben left would be if somehow Josh Brolin was cast to replace him, as I believe he was in the original running.
But can WB come back from the steep amount of PR unrest with JL, Flash, Batman and on and on and on?
I have watched since the early AMC days, I used to find the show amusing though it's all gone to the heads of most who appear on there now. Only last week JC was insulting his viewers, charming guy.
That's kind of the issue. Many fans look to these particular podcasts and YouTube discussions as the holy gospel. Where in reality it's just a bunch of dudes shooting the shit about movies. It would be no different if several of us in this thread read some articles and then recorded our thoughts on them.
@Seven_Point_Six_Five, absolutely. I have my short list of favorite commentators, but there's a vast majority out there that are just as you say, glorified movie fans with nothing really insightful to say. Campea hires varying levels of attractive women to surround him to appeal to a starving demographic, and then spouts whatever movie gospel he thinks is click-bait worthy to them while they're there, as he's doing here.
I watch so many shows and read so many news pages (littered with spelling and structure errors) online and often think to myself, "I could do these peoples' jobs!" Campea and his cronies are some of those people. They represent where we're at in regards to movie criticism and the film industry itself right now, where the truly eloquent commentators like Ebert was who have actual knowledge and salient arguments to make are drowned out by those who say a lot without ever really saying anything.
Part of the reason why I've started writing so much movie criticism is probably because at some subconscious level, my mind is rebelling at the likes of Campea and co. who make commentators/writers look bad.
I've heard somebody once say that film criticism died with Roger Ebert, and I unfortunately have to say that's true. I feel like any kind of two bit shmuck with Internet thinks he can be a film critic because they did a review on YouTube or whatever. People also bandwagon as well, nobody really has their own opinions when it comes to movies it seems.
+1
Please let this be one of the few places where any of the good stuff in the DCEU can be discussed without anything being ruined.

Me too. Zero interest in JL. Hopeful for WW, perhaps against my better judgment.
Wonder Woman character spoiler
There's no way they're THAT stupid.
From reactions I'm seeing online, people seem overly excited about all this, whereas I know many of us here are reluctant and cautious. We'll have to see what Snyder has done, and if he's learned his lessons. A full trailer will be the first glimpse we can get to see if he has.
