Jeffrey Dean Morgan Talks More About The Possibility Of Suiting Up As FLASHPOINT's Batman

@JonesTheCat - Extremely. He should get at least 1 movie where he faces a villain and learns to be a confident hero.

@WruceBayne

Andrew Garfield as Barry Allen/The Flash??

@SisterSunday52 - I agree with you. Do you think Affleck is done playing Bruce Wayne?
In my opinion I think they(WB) were waiting until The Justice League DVD went on sale to say that Affleck is done. It hasn’t happened yet but I do think it’s coming.

@Forthas - First off. Even IF they had incorporated The Dark Knight Trilogy universe into Batman v Superman, the film would have been the same. You can't be personal witness to the deaths of thousands of people and not have that change you as it did Batman.

Second of all, that's never been their problem. The studio doesn't understand the characters and, when working with creative teams that do, they don't provide them the resources they need to really make their films stand out.

The reason Man of Steel and Batman v Superman received such venomous rage against them is because fans fundamentally misinterpreted them as these nihilistic cautionary tales against heroism.

All they needed were a few extra lines of dialogue (Example: "When I was a little boy, my mother saved me. She made me want to use my abilities to help others, but my father believed that if the world found out who I really was, they'd reject me, and my family and friends here would pay the price for their connection to me") so that general audiences wouldn't misinterpret these characters as mass murdering sociopathic amoral villains, and Man of Steel and Batman v Superman would have been loved by everyone as much as much as they are loved by #releasetheSnyderCut.

@Forthas - Incorporating the DK trilogy is an even bigger pipe dream than the DCEU regaining favor with general audiences. Sorry, just how it is by this point in time.

@Forthas - Unfortunately I just don't think the current "brass" at WB has this in their headspace.

@Forthas - If you dont understand why they aren't built around the dark knight films then you probably didn't pay attention to that trilogy and how it ended or anything the director said. You cant build a new universe based off a series of films that came to a final conclusion. That makes no sense. There was no possible way to link a previous unrelated trilogy to an entire new universe. If they did, everyone would probably have had a million issues and things to say just like they do everytime DC blinks

And I dont know what your saying because their universe is built around man of steel... it was literally the first movie they made that launched the whole DC universe.

@Forthas - lol my favorite part about this is how some guy in the comments section has more intimate knowledge of the triology than the actual director. NOLAN the director came out saying it was definitive ending of that trilogy and series. It has nothing to do with the fact batman is alive or robin was there to take over. It has everything to do with the fact that it makes less than zero sense to build an enormous dc universe based off a trilogy that ended years before.

That would be like marvel building the franchise off of sam Raimis spider man series. How ridiculous would that have been? Or maybe build it off of the blade franchise. Which if I am being honest blade 1 was great so that would be sick, but no that also would make no sense. You just wouldnt logically build an enormous universe based off 3 prior films that were never meant to be. It handcuffs you and the universe. Look at xmen, they have all sorts of timeline and story issues that clash because of similar problems where they did things early on that they had to almost ignore because they were now moving on building a bigger picture
The whole point of the end of the dark knight rises was to close out the story for that bruce wayne. If you think bruce wayne faked his death and went halfway around the world with a woman so he could just return to gotham then you are not very smart.

It wasnt intended to be built around man of steel? Thats like saying the marvel universe wasnt meant to be built around favreaus Iron man. I mean snyder made man of steel and then bvs.... how is that not built off of mos. It absolutely 100% is. Just because they didnt make man of steel thinking hey when this is over lets toss batman wonder woman flash and everyone in doesnt mean the intentions/hopes were to build a larger universe.

Forced? I think man of steel was pretty well received and made good money back when superhero movies werent making a billion every other release. So yea I would say it wasnt forced and they decided the movie did well so they could keep going with it. Clearly bvs was a miss but that doesnt erase the foundation MoS built.

I completely agree if they went on with MoS2 they could build an epic universe. But they cant do that if they just ignore the entire previous ones like you just said lol you just contradicted yourself. Also if you think mos2 could build such a epic universe for them, then why are you saying the universe wasnt built but forced thanks to mos. Doesnt add up.

The universe was absolutely built as a result of man of steel, in the same way the marvel universe organically grew after Iron man. Marvel has just done a much better job of building that universe and approaching the stories and characters. DC ont he other hand had a major setback with BvS, and Suicide Squad did not come as advertised.

I dont know where you get this information of yours. Maybe you know the executives and creative heads at warner bros/Dc, but I highly doubt that.

Yea but those movies are 10 years old now. IT literally makes no sense to build a 2018 shared universe based on films from 2008. It literally makes no sense.

This is your thought process. Man of steel was never meant to be the start of that universe it was forced. But your idea is to rewrite the universe and force it to be in the same vein and universe as a trilogy that started over 10 years ago???? That makes less sense than some of the other absurd statements you have made.

Its not about them losing ground. Its about them forcing a new universe based off the dark knight trilogy which was always unconnected. They need more films on solo characters by different directors. They need zach snyder to step back and let other directors come in with their vision like patty jenkins and the guy working on Aquaman. Even Suicide squad had some bright spots. The villain and 2nd half were atrocious but that doesnt erase that he had a good grasp of who the characters were and the squad themselves worked. Its about a lot more than just connecting it too the successful dark knight trilogy

@Forthas - i disagree with what your saying. But all in all my main point is DC has a lot more that needs to be done for the films to be more successful. Its much more than connecting it to the dark knight films. That honestly doesnt do anything for them because Cristian Bale isnt coming back and Nolan isnt coming back. Which is the only reason connecting it to those films would make any sense, if you could get those 2 back.
They need good directors and writers telling good stories. And a director with a vision helps. The same way James Gunn had something in mind for GotG, or Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds with Deadpool, and even Jenkins with WW is closer to what they should be doing
