Your first sentence I couldn't disagree with more. Argue what you will, but Batman is among the top three most well known comic book characters in history, and especially in the modern era, so saying it's supposed to be them moving away from Batman seems extremely counter intuitive. A Batman movie won't help the DCEU? Urm...it's almost universally agreed that Ben Affleck's portrayal of Bats/Wayne is possibly the best on the silver screen to date, and is currently one of the most popular things about the DCEU's current state, and delving deeper into his lore would be great for both movie fans in general and comic book fans too. World-building will take place in every DCEU film, and he won't take the shine off of other characters like you suggest (unless, of course, he ends up having a major role in say Aquaman and Green Lantern Corps) by having a solo outing. The last two Batman movies alone (Nolan's The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises) are not only critically acclaimed, but also grossed a little over $2 billion worldwide between them. For comparison, the first six MCU films (before The Avengers) grossed around $2.3 billion worldwide between them. Batman is a massive property, and if handled right could, in my opinion, be in for an Oscar nod. Affleck certainly has it in him, as we all know. That's a good way of phrasing it. Batman Beyond confirmed

I think WB have very wisely kept their options open to add more properties into the slate. I mean, look at 2018, 2019 and 2020. Only 2018 (with Aquaman in July) has a movie slated for release after June. So, *hopefully*, with Affleck's Live by Night and Justice League being released October and November 2017 respectively, we could see The Batman as soon as late 2018. Hopefully.

Oh gosh. Fingers. Pointing. You know what this means?! Nope. Me neither.

Been doing some thinking and talking with some friends about who the next James Bond should be, and after rewatching First Class, I have to admit that Michael Fassbender would be perfect for the role. For me, Henry Cavill has a lot on his plate already, playing Superman, and the guy is MASSIVE - not exactly Bond-esque, and not something hell easily be able to transition between. Idris Elba, though I'd love to see, would undoubtedly cause an uproar, in a larger version of the Black Stormtrooper debate about John Boyega's Finn (which was stupid anyway, clearly weren't real SW fans if they thought that was wrong). I'd like for him to portray a friend or ally of Bond's though, perhaps another agent. Tom Hardy is pretty big too, and personally I think he'd be a great villain for Bond to face off against.

This is the one I'm referring to: http://fortune.com/contentfrom/2015/10/5/lex-luthor-jr/ntv_a/3dsBA58oDAfxgFA/

Feel free to talk anything movies, from casting news to the latest rumours, as well as your own personal speculation and hopes! Whether it be who you think should be the next Bond, to how big a role Luke Skywalker should have in the next Star Wars instalment, talk anything that is movies on your mind!

From his sharing of the Alexander name to the past with his father, as well as many of the events outlined in that promotional interview, they've tried to make it pretty clear that he isn't Lex Luthor, like-for-like, from the comics, from his intellect to the way he acts, to his physicality, and so on.

I tried to share my point through a spoiler tag, but alas. Jesse Eisenberg isn't playing Lex from the comics, he's playing Lex Luthor Jr. Yes, they have similar names and similar stories, but they clearly aren't like-for-like. I'm still on the fence. Jesse's portrayal was good of the character he was given, but it clearly isn't Lex, but that isn't a problem that should be directed at Jesse but in fact at the casting director. This guy was lined up to play Jimmy Olsen and Cranston was in line to be Lex.

No chance. Firstly, each episode of season six of GOT, on average, will cost $10 million to produce. They could do a Netflix series which is a completely unique story, but otherwise, you're talking a LOT more than $10 million per episode. Call that $100 million to produce the ten episode season, minimum, and then possibly an equal amount just to market it (it's Star Wars - you know they love marketing). That's $200 million+ for a show they'll probably make less money from per head than they do when compared to ticket prices at the cinema. The Force Awakens cost $200 million to produce, and I'd much rather they make another movie (aka continue with what they're already doing) then get some crumby ten parter without the heart of Star Wars. Any story they wish to tell could also be done via animated media - look at how well Rebels and The Clone Wars do, commercially and critically.

I don't think Star Wars will ever delve into Netflix/TV until there's a unique story to be told. No way would a live action show be able to afford the visual and costume effects required, let alone the actors/actresses.

Going to see it again this morning. Perhaps it's one of those films that needs a second viewing, like Man of Steel? I'm not too sure yet, it currently stands at a 7/10 for myself.

So, Serebrah?

Hans Zimmer has announced his retirement from superhero movies scores. Damn, one of the best things about this film...

That's life. You have your Blue French Horns and your Yellow Umbrella. Your Blue French Horn is the love of your life for like ten years until you stumble upon a Yellow Umbrella (FINALLY), who is killed off five minutes later, and you end up with Blue French Horn anyway. The lesson here is SCREW YOU HIMYM ENDING.

Don't. Know. What. To. Do. Maybe if I try on my Bale Batman impression?

Leia was never that nice to Chewie in the films. Also, that was a joke.

Just because she didn't give him a medal on Yavin it does not mean they didn't have a good relationship! Chewie constantly teases Han about Leia in the OT, and even hugs Leia in TFA, there's certainly a bond. But tell me, if your former husband just died, would the first person you really want to see be his best friend? Absolutely not. Some of the content of the scene was cut (read TFA novel, it adds A LOT of nice small details), and I think it was more of a fruitless effort to show that Rey felt even more alone than Leia when they returned.

Damn. Critics clearly didn't get word around enough to stop the opening weekend from being MASSIVE. $424.1 million worldwide, the biggest superhero opening weekend and the fourth biggest opening weekend of all time. Deleted scene released by WB, titled "Communion".

The film was going to be three hours long, with extra plots, violence and nudity which would give it an R rating. As for saying it's not for everyone, that seems to be a running theme with much of Zack Snyder's work...

Well, thankyou @Ashley.

It updates my quote with a spoiler tag.
