still no official confirmation from either side. 
Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck most likely done with DC
- Thread starter Clark Wayne
- Start date

That's their biggest problem.
The rumors of their dysfunction make more noise than their films.
They have got to start controlling the message.
Agreed

A good first step would be the head of their films to do the following:
Aquaman doesn't come out till December.
- cut Henry and Affleck NOW and stop the rumors
- do more than a press release
-do a YouTube or Facebook live feed to show your slate of films and explain Aquaman and WW are your " official beginning".
- interact and take honest feedback
- have some after credits in WW2 to fix this shyt when you've done all that.
- get this man/woman on TV like Feige to build some fan goodwill.
- recast everyone except Shazam! WW and Aquaman and don't even lose sleep doing it.
And take a risk on a character. Someone like Guardian or Martian Manhunter would give you artistic freedom. A real Green Lantern would blow folks minds.
They made LOTR and Harry Potter ffs.

I would like them to keep Cavill and I know he's negotiating for more bread and to have his production company take over. My THING is he WANTS TO PLAY THE CHARACTER! Give him what he wants and if it doesn't work out then make sure you have an out clause. Scared money don't make none so stop being cheap WB and let him cook. If AT&T are the ones pulling the strings and being hesitant to give him the bag then they need to address it.
Here's the thing I don't get about people saying just give him what he wants, why does he deserve more? He's been working with them for a while, all the projects he's been a part of have been disappointing in some way. The most recent project he was a part of may or may not have lost money. How does that put you in a position to say you guys should be paying me more.
People talk about his profile rising since he was hired as Superman but the two biggest projects he's had since MOS are the man from uncle, which flopped, and Mission Impossible, which was already a major franchise that didn't need him.
I know some people like him in the role and don't want to see him go but from a business standpoint it makes no sense to cave to his demands for more money while looking at his position. If you give him more money, everyone else should and will ask for more money and they should get it.

It's cause fans like what his potential is and he's willing to want to make it right.
He def doesn't deserve more $$ but this shyt has been a shyt show outside of MOS for him.
He's fed up. And that is why WB needs to end it now and stop dragging him and Affleck along with this awful press.

Gotdamn...... you bring up some great points that a lot of us ain’t thinking about and nothing you said was a lie.
That is a fair question to ask;
What has he done? Or Whar does he really deserve?
Cuz outside of Superman and the films you named, this the same guy did Immortals (a film I liked but most people thought sucked and hated) and The Cold Day of Light (which was a bad movie that did nothing for no one) and Sand Castle (which was another forgettable movie to most people where not even he stood out or shined)
So yea..... damn breh..... you really dropped a bombshell with this post.
No one can really counter argue that

I mean he actually plays Superman well even if visually he looks nothing like him and was used horribly on the show but yeah, he has his inflections and mannerism and little things but visually doesnt look like him.
Biggest mistake was thinking they could launch a cinematic universe that rivaled Marvel's inside of 2 movies. Marvel had more time to tinker with things over the span of many more movies and by the time the Avengers came out they had a defined style.People called me crazy.....
I was even negged.....
But you can't deny DC's biggest mistake was killing Zod.
MOS should've been a Krypton origin with Superman going to earth at the end. MOS should've been a sequel. Zod could've been DC's Loki.
Wonder Woman could've been next.
Then BATMAN,
Then Aquaman....
THEN Justice League,
THEN FLASH
Suicide Squad was a mistake all together.... The characters couldve been introduced in the Batman sequel...
Nothing was planned. Nothing was thought out.
WB figured, Marvel was killing it, and since they felt they had more iconic characters to play with, and was able to get great actors, they could
DC went from 0 to 60 in almost an instant and are now deep into the universe and trying to make adjustments. There were major storytelling issues they couldn't properly adjust for before Justice League because it came 2 movies in.
