Why is Batman "missing" in all the latest WB productions?
Because Ben Affleck isn't dead and they're working out whether they can get out of paying him if they re-cast the role in movies, and because believe it or not studios are pretty small places, people working on similar properties tend to swap ideas, and "Batman is missing" is good synergy with what's going on in reality with fat drunken deadbeat dad Batman.
Batfleck mentioned to feel out-of-place on this new world of gods and monsters. Maybe he's into something
Hopefully, god fucking willing, even DC and WB are sick to death of Bruce Wayne. Wonder Woman and Aquaman prove that they have other IPs that can bring in gangbusters, and they don't have to rely on the Bat as a desperate lifeline anymore.
He wasn't a big money grabber.
Because The Batman is still in early production and they need some kind of in-universe explanation for why the character is missing from a Harley Quinn production.
He's not it's just DC dipshits desperately trying to make it seem like DC isn't a massive clusterfuck and Affleck hasn't been recast
But it's good to know there's people like you that are fucking stupid enough to fall for it
Batman fell down a bottle
>Joker
>Birds of Prey
>The Batman
You wish.
Here's your explanation
THERE IS NO FUCKING UNIVERSE YOU STUPID FUCK
This
Now they can rely on Harley
Because he is super-overused to death.
Enough Batman.
>He doesn’t know about the Bat embargo
Sure is summer in here
Joker isn't a franchise film and BoP is because Margot is sucking off an executive. Try harder.
They say Affleck's The Batman was about Batman accepting his mortality. Maybe they can go a little further and kill Batman, right after Affleck finish his compromise with Universal for the war movie he's directing. See There have always been plans of bringing Nightwing and DC's Titans could be like a pilot.
She has to break up with Joker, so she can stand on her own feet.
*so she can stand on my face
Batman was going to die originally in Justice League. Or Justice League 2. Can't remember straight.
>so she can sit on my face
>ftfy
So she can stand on DC's grave*
WB is upset that Ben Affleck quit and wants nothing to do with them.
So they are going to erase Bruce Wayne and replace him with Dick Grayson out of spite.
>So they are going to erase Bruce Wayne and replace him with Dick Grayson out of spite.
We don't live in a kind enough world for this to happen. But goddamn, I can fucking dream.
Or they're just going to recast him like THEY ALREADY DID
>Bat-fags desperately trying to ignore Pattison because the Twilight connection only highlights how much of a selfish, brooding little cunt Bruce Wayne really is
cause they finally understood that Batman sucks
Think they'd ever have the balls to do a Brother Eye story in the DCEU? I mean, obviously without being cowards and shifting the blame away from Bruce.
Justice League 2. Again, it only requires a little re-writting on the third act
Keep telling yourself that
Except that would be fucking great, sure better than the retreads we always have...
DO IT WARNER, GIVE US OUR DICK!
>When Batman's not around, we want people to say, "Where's Batman?"
Dumb shit like this really does work.
You know, I'm an unironic Batfag, and I'd totally be on board with that.
Part of what makes him interesting is the fact that, for all his skill and dedication and willpower, he has a litany of character flaws which he can't quite seem to overcome. Chief among them, his obsession with never again being caught unawares by any unseen Joe Chill-type black swan events, for which he rightly or wrongly holds himself responsible.
Presenting the logical conclusion of Bruce's rampant paranoia would be a good way to do the whole imperfect hero thing without resorting to the usual "Batman creates his own villains" or "Batman is crazy because he wears a costume and fights crime" nonsense.
