    He won't come back because it's a bad idea. This series ended. If they want to launch a whole new series of batman movies they need to start over. I think it's too soon altogether.

    Affleck is George Clooney all over again. With Bale they had re-energized the franchise, while it was over they left plenty of ways to build off of it, but instead they sold out and DC is going to regret this move. They had two cornerstones to build the justice league off of, but instead they are going to chase off their fan base, setting them back to the drawing board again.

    Well said...

    Although, this does set up something that most of us did not consider. With Affleck in the seat of the Batmobile, they have opened the door to Jay and Silent Bob's return to stardom.

    In other news - the next Batman is apparently going to be a bad romantic comedy...


    SMH...

    True, there is a silver lining. :drinker:

    Agree 100%

    However, when and if they do restart the series, Ben Affleck doesn't get my vote for Batman.

    Not a good choice, in my opinion.

    Dean Winchester is my Batman.

    Also, couldn't SOMEONE do a movie about one of the cool female super heroes? Batman was good, and now it needs a little nap, for a long time. Do Wonder Woman or Black Canary.

    I'm more of a Marvel girl myself, lets be honest-they have a more diverse universe (SSM, multiple female characters who are awesome, and they haven't sold out as horribly as DC) but DC isn't doing anything for themselves by making BA Batman, that's a load of giant fail that isn't going to work at all.

    In the words of Christian Bale... They are done professionally.

    Actually he told Nolan he would only do 3 movies and no more.

    I am just hoping above anything that Matt Damon shows up as Robin... because that would make me laugh. A lot.

    I mean honestly here folks. I am not trying to say that I AM or AM NOT Batman, all I am saying is that you have never seen me and Batman in the same room before!

    Batman with a Boston accent. Matt Damon as Robin. "How you like dem apples, riddler?"
