Ben Affleck And Geoff Johns Rumored To Have Complete Creative Control Over The Solo BATMAN Movie

According to the newest episode of Heroic Insider, hosted by Hollywood producer Daniel Alter (The Apparition, Hitman: Agent 47) and Heroic Hollywood's Umberto 'ElMayimbe' Gonzalez, DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and Oscar winner Ben Affleck will have "complete creative control" over the solo Batman film. Which logically indicates that Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Charles Roven or any other frequent DCEU overseer has no say on what Johns and Affleck ultimately cook up. Alter and Gonzalez further report that Affleck is taking the lead and Johns is more of a consultant, providing necessary references to comic book lore and not necessarily shaping the story.

After months of speculation, WB recently confirmed that Affleck will indeed star, write and direct the solo Batman film. The film is currently without a release date but Warner Bros. has snagged two dates in 2018 and 2019 for future DCEU installments. It's probable that one of those dates will be given to the standalone Batman film.

Thank god

I need that Court of Owls with 1 and 2 as the buildup in the background and the third all about the court. Main 1 and 2 movies can be a RedHood/Joker story with the court myths being discussed and mysterious murders where an owl feather would be left. Have Bruce and Alfred talk about the nursery rhyme Bruce heard as a child, the labyrinth, Lincoln March

 

[Ill-Mind]

They need to just have Geoff Johns and other top DC writers oversee all of these films at this point

I heard Red Hood is off the table but who knows. I personally think they're going with Hush.

I agree, he is the best positioned person right now to be the DCU's Fiege.

Just repeating what I heard from Heroic Insider, maybe WB trying throw us off and keep it under wraps

Thank you
A lot more relieved that Affleck is basically writing it himself and Johns is providing some reference material from the comics
