https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/13/batfleck-no-ben-affleck-reportedly-wants-batman-role/ Now, on the Collider Movie Talk show, John Campea claims to have heard from three separate industry sources that this is indeed the case. Campea prefaces his claims with a warning that he’s been wrong whenever he tries to break a “scoop,” and advises people to take what he says with a huge grain of salt, but he then goes on to say: I’ve talked to three separate people, both in one way or another connected in some way to what’s going on at Warner Bros. What all three have told me was that — nothing about whether the script was thrown out or whether they liked the script, nothing about the direction Matt Reeves it taking it, none of that — but one of the things that has come out of the conversation with all three is this. They’re telling me that Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he does want out. He doesn’t want to to be Batman anymore, is what I was told.
He doesn't make many facial expressions, so they can just CGI him and rewrite the plot to make him averse to taking off his mask. How awesome would that be?
Dont believe everything u hear. The guy who posted this on YouTube said it is an unreliable source. lol. He post this anyway?
WTF? This makes no sense, he's already singed for four movies and they're running the trailer for Justice League. If he wants out he's gonna have to pay that money back and then not promote Justice League even though he's the lead in the movie. Doesn't seem like a reliable source
Like Mr.Scarface said, the article starts off with... Now, on the Collider Movie Talk show, John Campea claims to have heard from three separate industry sources that this is indeed the case. Campea prefaces his claims with a warning that he’s been wrong whenever he tries to break a “scoop,” and advises people to take what he says with a huge grain of salt, but he then goes on to say: People have gone with this "report" and run with it with all the other articles I've seen linking back to this Bleeding Cool story.....
So..........two directors have bailed, everything they have made thus far has been critically panned and the main star is rumored to be wanting out because of script problems.
