Rumor: ‘Batman’ solo movie to co-star Will Smith’s Deadshot
Will Smith’s Deadshot is premiering next year in DC’s Suicide Squad, and it is looking like we may know where he will turn up next. In…Ben Affleck’s Batman flick? Admittedly, I don’t know Deadshot’s story very well. So maybe this makes sense in the grand scheme of the Bat-Mythos. But to an uneducated slob like me, it seems like “Let’s shove Character X into Character’s Y movie, because: star power!” Which, in the name of fairness, I will admit seems to be happening in the third Thor movie too.
Rumor: ‘Batman’ solo movie to feature The Red Hood, Joker, based off “A Death In The Family”
The Batman solo flick is the one movie I’m really, really, really sweating in the DCU. Primarily because I think Ben Affleck is a talented director (if he ends up directing the movie, which he keeps wavering on, but I have faith), and the movie, won’t, you know, involve Zack Snyder. Details are beginning to emerge (or purportedly emerge, I guess) about the movie, and whelp. It seems interesting.
Obvious Rumor: More Batman, Less Superman wanted in ‘Batman v Superman’ by Warner Bros.
Sad but true: no one gives a comparative fuck about Superman. Everyone goes goddamn crazy for the Lunatic Fascist Bat-Guy. Everyone. Myself not included. And so it makes sense that Warner Bros. wants more of the Ben Affleck-helmed Bat in Dawn of Justice. Some think this is a victory for Affleck, but I don’t. Goddamn corpse of George Carlin could be playing Batman in that movie, and everyone would want more.

Obviously: Ben Affleck signing on for ‘Batman’ trilogy
Wait. Wait! Are we supposed to be shocked that Ben Affleck is signing up for his own trilogy of films? ‘Cause that’s the rumor. But it sort of seems obvious?

Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns co-writing ‘Batman’ solo flick; Affleck directing
Woah. Like, I don’t really enjoy Geoff Johns that often, but this is still somewhat cool to me. Also — very excited that Affleck is directing.
Ben Affleck reportedly directing solo ‘Batman’ movie set for Fall 2018
I like Ben Affleck as a director. Fuck, I like him more as a director than an actor. So I’m glad to see WB is doing the obvious, and giving him the reins to the next solo Bat-Flick.
