BATFLECK LIVES! Ben Affleck responds to rumors he’s leaving Batman

July 22, 2017 | Kevin

Ben Affleck may soon be done with Batman, according news coming out yesterday though multiple outlets. He’s committed to a solo Batman movie directed by Matt Reeves, with a script handled by Reeves after one written by Affleck and DC movie boss Geoff Johns has been dropped. Affleck was set to direct the film, until Reeves whose has had success with the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise and ‘Cloverfield’ was brought on to solve the heavy workload to let Affleck focus on his acting in the film. Now news comes out that Affleck’s Batman will be “ushered out ” from the DC Cinematic Universe according to several unnamed studio sources.

Memes of ‘Sad Affleck’ flurried around the internet as a bad reviews came in for his first Caped Crusader performance in ‘Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice’. Could this have influenced the Oscar-winning Affleck to regret taking on the cowl of Bruce Wayne? That is up for debate. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Affleck’s age at 45 may influence this recent change as he might be close to 50 by the time ‘The Batman’ hits theaters.

Affleck is still maintaining the Batman mantle this week, as he’s at San Diego Comic Con to promote his next Batman performance in November’s ‘Justice League’. And there is no confirmation publicly that he’s leaving Gotman City. 

No matter what you though of ‘BvS’, Affleck proved he can deliver as one of the most passionate superheroes in the DCU  and gained universal acclaim in a movie many turned on when it was released. He’s the central figure to unite the team for the upcoming ‘Justice League’. It’s not easy role to take on especially after Christian Bale had great success with ‘the Dark Knight trilogy’.

UPDATE Saturday 7.22.17 3pm: Just today Affleck caused a roar during a panel today at SDCC from fans when he addressed the speculation and reports covered, saying he’s not leaving the DCU anytime soon.

“I’m the luckiest guy in the world. Batman is the f—ing coolest. It’s amazing. I know there was speculation and rumors about me not directing. I would be an ape on the ground for matt reeves. I’m really blown away and excited, and it’s a great time for the [DCEU].” 

We will have more of all the nerdy goodies dropping from Comic Con very soon. Come back to 101WKQX.com for more from Comic Con and if you want your own sci fi convention glory, get ready for WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO Aug 24-27th in Rosemont with appearances by stars from ARROW, WWE, LORD OF THE RINGS, STRANGER THINGS, AND MORE

I’ll remember him best as a washed up detective who operated under the thumb of Tony Soprano, but most will know John Heard as Kevin’s father in Home Alone.  The 72 year old actor was reportedly recovering from back surgery when he was found dead in his California hotel room.  He also had roles in Big, Beaches, Awakenings, The Pelican Brief, and Sharknado.

In the wake of Chester Bennington’s suicide, you’ve no doubt noticed many artists speaking up on mental health issues.  Add Imagine Dragon’s Dan Reynolds to the list.  This emotional video is a call for people to realize the power of their words (typed, or otherwise).  — [eric]

 

NIN Is Back!

July 21, 2017 | wALT

Nine Inch Nails dropped their new EP Add Violence today.  It includes 5 songs including the new single “Less Than”.  If you scour the artwork for the EP, you’ll notice a reference to 2022, which goes back to the Year Zero folklore.  I like it!!

Not only did we get new music this week, but NIN also made a return to the stage in Bakersfield, CA on Wednesday.  Check out the clip for a taste of what’s in store for us at Riot Fest!! -wALT
