The irony of this...But yes, I'm on board with Boyega as John Stewart
I'd still prefer Idris Elba, but I just don't see that happening. Mahershala Ali would be cool too, but i'm bias cause he's from Oakland.

rumors of the DCEU overhaul
Changes Start With Suicide Squad 2
Suicide Squad 2 will go a long way in "redeeming" some familiar faces. While the studio won't recast characters like The Joker, Killer Croc, and Deadshot, pretty much every member of Task Force X is reportedly getting a makeover so that the fan-favourite villains resemble their comic book counterparts.
In the case of The Joker, that reportedly means that he'll lose the "Damaged" tattoo and jewellery but will keep the teeth (which makes sense if the studio finally addresses the fact that Batman attempted to destroy his smile). Of course, with Suicide Squad 2 still in development, who knows how much this will change. It is, however, worth noting that Geoff Johns will be closely involved with the sequel.
The Batman Won't Be A Prequel
The Batman is being envisioned as a one-off movie rather than a prequel or the sort of superhero movie which sets the stage for a new trilogy or anything like that. Instead, it seems Warner Bros. is taking a very careful approach to the movie as the studio has started cooling on what they originally thought would be a "Gothamverse" of sorts made up of everyone from Batman to Nightwing and Batgirl. While this movie will be in the DCEU, it sounds like it will be standalone in nature.
Bye Bye Ben Affleck?
No one is really talking about Ben Affleck being involved with The Batman as Matt Reeves is looking to recast the Caped Crusader and has written the screenplay with someone else in mind. It's said that the filmmaker wants someone who is "younger, slimmer, more agile, and more intense."
Matt Reeves's Inspiration
We know that Matt Reeves decided not to use Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns's screenplay for The Batman and instead went back to the drawing board for his take on the Dark Knight. So, what does he have in store for the character? Well, it's said that the filmmaker is looking to keep the story grounded but will introduce at least some slight fantastical elements which fans of the hero will be familiar with.
Directors like Christopher Nolan, David Lynch, and Michael Mann are said to be among his inspirations and that could give us at least a vague idea of what his take on Batman's world will end up looking like.
Which Villains Will We See?
It's said that concept art for a number of characters has been created and that includes villains like Two-Face, The Penguin, The Riddler, and Victor Zsasz. There's nothing to say any of them will appear, of course, but all of them are said to be fairly comic accurate in appearance which is bound to make fans happy. Before anyone cries about there being too many baddies, some could just be minor cameos!
Interestingly, it's claimed that The Batman's Penguin is being based on the Emperor Penguin version of the villain and that he's been modelled after a very dapper looking Richard Armitage in concept art. This leak is actually a few weeks old but The Penguin was named as the possible big bad in this movie just days ago. Reeves is said to be creating a Penguin every bit as imposing as The Batman himself.
A Female Robin
Among the concept art which is said to be doing the rounds at Warner Bros. is a design for a female Robin. Now, there's precedent for that in the comic books and if **** Grayson is Nightwing and Jason Todd is dead, why couldn't the Dark Knight have recruited Stephanie Brown instead of Tim Drake?
It's been a very long time since we saw Robin on the big screen anyway and this would shake things up in an interesting way. Still, I can't help but wonder whether or not this female Robin (who could also be Carrie Kelly thinking about it) could be Barbara Gordon who later becomes Batgirl instead.
Another Armoured Batsuit
The final piece of intel from the rumoured concept art is said to be a heavily armoured new Batsuit. How this will differ from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice remains to be seen but it's described as being "militarised." It's possible that Matt Reeves has just envisioned a totally new look for the character and this could be his permanent look or the hero will need it for a specific reason. I guess time will tell on that front but it would be cool to see more alternate suits for the Caped Crusader!
Where Things Currently Stand With The Movie
The script has apparently been completed and Matt Reeves is now going through and editing it. He's said to be involved in every stage of the creative process so will obviously be very hands on here.
Here's hoping that remains the case as Warner Bros. has lost a lot of filmmakers in recent years due to "creative differences" and The Batman losing another director would probably end it once and for all. Bear in mind that it was initially rumoured to be released last year at the latest and the clock is ticking!

DCEU deserves an overhaul.
We need respect returned to Batmans name and a Green Lantern reboot
We need Deathstroke too.
Also have you guys read Batman v Deathstroke "Sins of the Fathers" ?

heard rumors he might be going broke as the main reason he wants to stay(?)
I think if Reeves prefer someone else but he might be stuck with Affleck if he wants to stay

@ Batfleck going broke.Don't care if its true or not really, but if you asked me what actor would do another Batman film because of their financial situation, I wouldn't think of Batfleck first.
Just the idea of that makes me laugh

rumor was sketchy and that's why I didn't post it here
then again dude was going to rehab for being drunk and a known gambler, not to mention he had a divorce last year and if there is even a 1% chance...

if there is a movie DC needs to fast track, it is Gareth Evans Deathstroke film!!!!!
Manganiello recently appeared on Chris Hardwick's new podcast, ID10T (formerly The Nerdist Podcast) to reveal that he has at least had a facetime chat with Evans.
"There were talks with Gareth Evans and talks of an origin movie. I'm not giving news, this was [already out there]. But I spent 6 months prior to all of those phone calls, writing a backstory, which was turned into 16-pages, which was turned into a treatment, which led to my skype call with Gareth."
Not long ago, it was revealed that Gareth Evans (The Raid and The Raid 2) was set to direct the film but his recent social media posts with fans seem to imply that his schedule is locked tight until 2020, working on other projects.

I remember being so shocked but happy Gareth was attached to any comic movie but given DC has been DC the past 5 years I am not at all surprised he's moved on.
DC hasn't paid that any mind during all of their turmoil. Still gets no attention.
Hope Marvel snatches him up for Shang-Chi or Moon Knight.

i don't think he's move one, just busy at the moment but Manggotsomerippedpecboobies mentioned talking to him but it also looks like Deathstroke might be the main baddie for SS2 so they'll both be busy
hopefully both are available by 2020 (which evans seems to be and Mangmotorboatingvergara really has no works)
