Ben Affleck is Done with Batman and DC
Ben Affleck is done with superheroes. In an excellent interview with The Hollywood Reporter (in which he talks about the movie business, dishonest media, his new film Air, and the Grammys), Affleck declares that he will not be making any movies in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU. “I would not ...

What do you do when it’s the final season of your serialized superhero sci-fi show, you’ve got half the episodes you normally do, and you have to make every week count? You have a standalone episode without the main character that puts the most boring sidekicks in the lead roles, of course! “T...
