My franchise really is better than your franchise.

You know, maybe we should temporarily re-title BOTF  this ^ for the next few weeks. Would really paint a more accurate picture for potential newbies of what some of these threads have been turned into over the past week

For those who really want Snyder out of JL, there's a precedent.

 

Saw 7 ( 3D ) had David Hackl as director. Then, 2 weeks before filming, he was fired and Kevin Greutert ( Saw 6 director ) was forced to direct it. The production company Twisted Pictures exercised a "contractual clause" in his contract. Yes, the movie didn't get a delay and it was filmed as planned, even though the director was angry as hell ( I remember talking to him on HOJ ). He was set to direct Paranormal Activity 2, but then was forced to come back and direct Saw 3D instead.

 

So, while it's not common, it's possible. 

 

And WB has Ben Affleck right there. I don't know if Ben Affleck is the best choice, but he would do a better job than Zack Snyder.

Affleck has a lot going on right now, not sure he's the best person to take over & be the leader of the entire project as easy as it may seem.

If I had to choose my JL director I'd still pick Jaume-Collet Serra. It helps that all but 2 of the films he's done are for WB, and all of those but Run All Night did reasonably well.

Oh god... Oh god... Oh god.

There's this great up and coming director named Josh Trank, he'd be perfect for Justice League.

Sure, anything is possible. Then again, if WB did that, it probably means they've burnt their bridges with Snyder completely... and studios generally are loath to do that with proven talent.

I happen to think Affleck is a better director than Snyder as well, but in fairness I think any issues with BVS or any future DCEU project are beyond any single person's blame.

Thank you guys who mentioned me. I was banned for a day so I couldn't post my opinion about the numbers, sorry. I was banned for a post I made BEFORE the new rules were created, but that's fine. It was good to have this time to think about my behavior. I apologize to anyone that I may have offended in all those months I've been posting on this board, it was never my intention to bring anyone down.

 

About the numbers... In other news, the water is wet. It isn't really surprising that a movie this smart and ambitious is falling hard. I'm not sad or surprised at all, if you guys search my posts you will see that I never predicted otherwise. I was hoping for the best, but I was never optimistic about it having a great performance at the box office. The movie is still a success no matter how you try to spin it as a disappointment, it will make a profit, so everything's fine.

 

I hope WB move forward with their plans, but if they don't, it's not the end of the World. I'm still grateful we had 2 masterpieces and still have Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman coming. I could die any day soon and never watch any future DC or Snyder movies anyway, so I'm just grateful for being alive enough time to see Batman v Superman. I can't explain the incredible experience of watching this movie for the first time, and I hope every one of you are blessed to have the same experience one day with a movie you are anticipating.

What about Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. They even have experience with the genre. And with Batman.

True. Considering the meltdowns I am surprised we didn't have enough of
