news culture “My Worst Experience” Ben Affleck (Batman) settles accounts with the Justice League and DC
As you know if you follow DC news, all series and film production was taken over by James Gun and Peter Safran a few months ago. Many projects have simply been cancelled, and we recently learned that Superman: Legacy will be directed by James Gunn.
DC Comics and Cinema: A new era is about to begin
The recent history of DC movies is far from being a long, calm river. Faced with an elaborate Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DCEU could not establish itself. Creating a connected universe is difficult, and the directors of Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam! or The Suicide Squad and Black Adam know it well. The Snyderverse didn’t take it like it should have and this first chapter of the DC Cinematic Universe will end with Shazam! wrath of the gods then the lightning, Blue Beetle etc Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Anything planned after that was put on hold or cancelled, How wonder woman 3 or man of steel 2. In command for several months James Gunn and Peter Saffron presented a whole plan to their management and they will start with it Superman: Legacy. However, and as said, several films are yet to be released. In The Flash, however, viewers will also find Ezra Miller Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, two versions of Batman. If you forgot, Ben Affleck was Bruce Wayne for several films before the franchise was realigned and Robert Pattinson Can’t get the costume back.
Ben Affleck and Batman, it really is over
Normally, The Lightning serums last chance to see Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne. The actor’s opportunity to set up an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and revisit his experience. The actor spoke of smaller, more satisfying projects. The reporter then asked “as opposed to?” to which Ben Affleck replied “the Justice League experience”. The atmosphere. For him, and even if he was happy to take part in the filming The Lightningthe experience has becomesuperfluouswhereby he loses any interest in the creative part.
I’m not condescending and I don’t scold it, but I got to a point where I wasn’t finding it creatively satisfying.
Still, he says that he was finally able to fully understand his role as Bruce Wayne, and that he managed to convey that in The Flash. Finally, logically, he was specifically asked about the idea of a potential return under the leadership of James Gunn in the role of director. As you will read below, this will not happen.
Yes I finally figured out how to play this character and I found success in The Flash. For the five minutes I’m there, it’s really great. It’s mostly a matter of tone. You must be wondering what your version of the character is. I tried to put myself in Batman’s shoes. By the way, I like a lot of things we did, especially the first one (Batman vs. Superman).
I would get nothing for James Gunn at DC. Absolutely not. I have nothing against James Gunn. He’s a good guy. I am sure he will do a good job. It’s just that I don’t want to jump in and perform like them. I don’t care.
This has the advantage of being clear. as a reminder The Lightning is expected in American cinemas on June 16, 2023. As is often the case, French cinemas will be a little ahead, as we have seen the adventures of the ultra-fast superhero from 14.
