I agree. I don't think he'd play us like that.
Ps. I like your name. I always wondered what Alfred was saying but didn't know what to Google.

the studio is rushing and counting money they haven't deserved yet...they fucked up....the should make batman v superman without wonder woman...just make a great superman sequel with batman as a oponent...then make single movies, and then the justice league...unfortunately the marvel formula is working best so far...I Think it's all gone.....Wonder Woman has a chance to be great....we will see....I don't see how Justice League is not going to be a mess with all those charters introduced in one movie where they couldn't make that work in BVS and SS....if JL is not godd Afleck walks for sure....REBOOT

I actually saw that miles away that he won't direct. He kept saying he wants the movie to be great and It's too hard to direct a huge movie like Batman and star in it and all that while wearing the Bat-suite which is very hard to stay in it for long time. He said anyway he will co-direct it
