DC/WB Confirm ''The Flash: Flashpoint'' Movie

I used to think Affleck was the sh1t as Batman, but the honeymoon ended. All he really did was play a stoic bag of meat. His most charismatic moment was when he complimented a pair of high-heel shoes.

Snyder did all the heavy lifting. He gave him the suit, he came up with the action scenes, and he also gave him little to do in terms of character. I mean, I get it, he’s bitter, he’s vengeful, he’s defending the planet from destruction at any cost….until he realizes he’s become the very monster he hates. It’s all well and good, but Ben never made me feel anything. Again, it was stoic and frustrated. But not much else. I’m not sure the story allowed him to.

I don’t want to get carried away into script, because my point is, you’d have to convince me that someone else can’t easily fill the role of Affleck’s Batman in BvS or Justice League. So far, he’s been replaceable.

Which leaves me with two last thoughts:

1. I’m still excited to see the character in The Flash. I never said he didn’t have potential, I just haven’t seen Affleck bring anything to the role yet. Not saying he’s not capable. Maybe under a different director then.

2. I think we will see his version of Batman again, beyond The Flash. One way or another, be it HBO Max or a multiverse crossover film. He’ll be back.

Oh, and I’m not trying to piss on the guy or piss on Snyder. I like those movies enough to have watched them several times over. Just my opinion.
