WB reportedly planning for Ben Affleck's exit from DCEU

I'll say here what I said elsewhere: it's unfortunate since I liked Affleck as the character, but if this is true then I'm glad it will allow him greater freedom in picking and working on his projects, plus it gives Matt Reeves the chance to do whatever he wants with his interpretation of the character.

That's a good point. This gives Reeves an opening to deliver a much more daring film than he would've been able to if he'd been tied down to making sure it set up the next installment in the franchise.

Other than that, though, this is definitely not a good look. As someone who doesn't care at all for Affleck as an actor and who thinks this cinematic universe has been a major mixed bag so far, it's not a terribly encouraging sign for the series that the lead is this desperate to drop out having filmed only two installments, even after Wonder Woman did so much to rehabilitate the brand in the public's eyes. 

Can't say that I would be too upset if they ushered out Affleck.

This is who I wanted before Affleck was cast.

Give me ten thousand and I will to this issue I will mend. For that you get the voice, the over the balcony fling, the whole damn thing. 

Yeah Hammer or Urban would certainly look the part thats for sure.
