Batman v Superman was so bad Hans Zimmerman said fuck outta here with anymore superhero movies. Ben Affleck had to rewrite the script on set and he still couldn’t save it from the inevitable “set a record for the biggest box office dropoff for a superhero film from Friday to Sunday in an opening weekend” thing that was bound to happen. But good news, people who like superhero movies that also happen to be good movies, Ben Affleck is here for you. According to WME-IMG’s co-CEOs Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell‘s interview with THR, Affleck has already written a standalone Batman script.
Patrick, how long do you think Ben will want to play Batman?
WHITESELL: Well, he’s contracted to do at least Justice League One and Two, so at least three times wearing the cape. And there’s a script that he’s written that is a really cool [Batman] idea, so that’s out there as an option.
Advice: fast track the shit out of this. Stop what you’re doing with Justice League Part 1 and do this instead. And let Affleck direct. If Zack Snyder shows up, let Batman shoot him on sight. It’s what the people want. Say what you want about Affleck, but even the trailers for the movies he’s directed are better than Batman v Superman. Because, if we’re being honest with ourselves, Snyder has no idea what he’s doing. I would even be hesitant to let Snyder direct traffic since he’ll make sure somebody dies at the end.
