Justice League

at it.

If we're going Man of Steel, Batman versus Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Justice League.

If we're going to DCU.

It depends where you want to start.

I put Aquaman in that, too.

The first Aquaman is not bad.

That's after Justice League, though, which it's hard to think that the first Aquaman comes after Justice League.

So that's after Justice League, though.

It's like, you know, I know...

One of the most negative reviews I have on iTunes is because I didn't like Zack Snyder's Justice League.

I'm sorry I didn't like a movie that I didn't think was very good.

What do you want me to do? Tell you what you want to hear just because that's what you want to hear? I've never understood...

There's a level of immaturity surrounding it that's hard for me to deal with anymore.

And I dealt with it because we had to watch that fucking...

Zack Snyder Justice League movie.

And I watched it.

Uh-oh.

But this does kind of feel a little Justice League-ish.

Oh, boy.

When Zack Snyder had to step, well, it depends who you believe.

Was he fired? Did he step away? He was dealing with the death in the family.

Again, we still don't know exactly what Matt Reeves is going through, other than it's just a family issue that he's been very quiet about.

Everyone said all the right words when Joss Whedon came in to take over Justice League.

And then the floodgates opened.

Yeah, and again, back to a great podcast in regard to, well, news for our side of the street.

And Variety, reporting on Affleck's appearance, unhappy, sad, confused, said that Affleck talked about how the Justice League reshoots were a low point of his career.

And again, just want to point out that Affleck made Geely.

All right? Just putting that out there.

And by the way...

Ben goes on to say that, you know, he was glad that Snyder actually got to release his own version of Justice League.

And Affleck was then blunt about how he felt that Warner Brothers Studio had used the situation to Snyder family tragedy as an excuse to replace that.

Yeah.

just casting a younger actor who looks a bit like kenneth browner i beg of you i beg of the gerontocracy loosen your death grip on roles let a kid get a couple of lines

It does unfortunately give the kind of Henry Cavill in Justice League impression, where his lip is unnaturally smooth.

You know what it is? Having Kenneth Branagh de-aged here is kind of giving mature student finally getting around to doing his A-levels.

It's not bad, right? If anything, it should be lauded.

It's very, and you and I were kind of talking about this a little bit when the news first came out.

We remember what happened when Zack Snyder had to step away from Justice League, right? He had a child who committed suicide.

It was a horrific, horrible situation that he was dealing with personally and had to step away from the project.

And he stepped away 100%, like no contact.

It's the entire universe.

Like, I'm thinking about, is Man of Tomorrow Batman? But is that gonna be problematically our Justice League movie? Are we in Man of Tomorrow gonna get Batman and Wonder Woman? and Green Lantern? Is that going to be our introduction and multiple Green Lanterns? Is that going to be our introduction to all of these characters? And then are we going to feel the same way we did about Justice League where we don't feel like we got singles from everybody and then it was earned? So just the extending of the no Batman, no Batman is making me a little itchy.

And I'm still trying to be like, okay, in James Gunn, I trust because he's never done anything I disliked.

But I feel crazy, Mike.

And then that summer of 2016, I'm trying to gain all the weight back.

And then I'm going back and forth to London for justice league because the idea was also, can I, if I can shoot one day next week or next month, if I can shoot one day next month, I then have the rest of the year to get to the Batman shoot.

And I just thought, okay, yeah.

All right.

But mine is because I wasn't just suffering from these things at home in my neighborhood.

You know, I'm on sets with people you know.

I mean, the whole Justice League is in the book.

You know what I mean? Like, I
