Before I lay out the serial of events that lead upward to this, let me emphasize something very conspicuously. Jon Schnepp'southward partner, Holly Payne, has been through an unimaginable nightmare with the passing of Jon and then unfairly compounded past hospital bills that could ruin anyone. The way she has handled this situation is by far improve than most of u.s. would. That can't be overstated.

Last month Holly and I had a actually proficient sit down down chat in the Hospital where Jon was. She had literally just gotten the final word from the Doctor that in that location was no coming back for Jon from his condition. Her stature was titan similar in the face of that news. I was frankly humbled seeing how she was coping.

Later, after comic-con, I did my tribute video to Schnepp and Holly touched base with me with a very kind text message expressing she idea my video was beautiful. I continued to encourage everyone to donate to the GoFundMe to help Holly manage the ridiculous medical bills that were coming and from my perspective everything was fine.

Fast frontward a few weeks. My blood brother-in-law Ray (who actually loved Schnepp), who for years did all the graphics for HEROES, made a shirt to award Jon Schnepp. It was never for sale. It was never for money. It was never fabricated bachelor to anyone except us. It was never meant for anyone else to ain. I took a picture of the shirt Ray made and posted it on my social media over a week ago because I was then moved past it. This is it:

Now we fast forrard to yesterday. Holly, well after a week since the image had been posted, left the following comments on the picture completely taking me off guard when she wrote the following:

I was completely blindsided by this. Beginning of all because we were not selling the shirts nor making them available to anyone. On Top of that, my previous communications with Holly had all been very positive. I was at a Star Wars concert at the time and I stepped out to write to Holly immediately and I wrote her the following:

Shortly later that I received a respond from Holly now saying she wasn't upset about selling the shirts (which nosotros weren't doing) but rather that we had made them at all in the starting time place (which isn't what she said in the facebook comments). She wrote the following:

Later on getting this and seeing the inconsistency in the messages I started to doubtable there was something more going on that I wasn't aware of. I followed up with her with the post-obit message:

So that was the terminal bulletin between Holly and myself. I went through the rest of the concert and heard nothing back. I believed that whatsoever Holly was feeling or going through and whatever it had to do with me, she would talk to me almost it whenever she was skillful and prepare to do and then. She obviously has enough to bargain with and worry about at the moment.

Information technology wasn't until hours afterward every bit I was settling into bed… I was completely blindsided by a very public set on on myself and Robert Meyer Burnett Holly tweeted out. It had nothing to do with selling shirts… it had nothing to do with the fact we fifty-fifty possessed the shirts. It was nigh something completely dissimilar. Holly wrote the post-obit on twitter:

I merely could not breathe. I've used the word "blindsided" a couple of times already, and at the risk of chirapsia the word to decease… I was blindsided. In the following 60 minutes Holly unleashed a serial of tweets directly targeting both Robert and myself. Both barrels, total nail.

I've known that Holly had (for reasons that I still do not know or understand) some grudge against Robert… but I honestly didn't think information technology was that bad when she spoke to me well-nigh it weeks ago. Many people have publicly asked why Robert Meyer Burnett, the man who did more than episodes of HEROES with Jon than anyone else (including me) was not on either the Collider Jon Schnepp memorial show nor on the HEROES memorial evidence. When Robert asked why he was not invited to participate in those shows, he was simply told "Holly doesn't want you lot on it".

Robert (hither comes that word again) was totally blindsided by that. He idea he and Holly were on good terms. Understandably, Robert was angry. He wanted to speak up about the issue and I cautioned him against it. I told him: "Rob, Holly is in a place right now that none of us can even imagine. The pain and grief she'south going through is something we can't understand. Give it time. Give her time. None of us act ourselves when we're in that much pain". There was cipher to exist gained for Robert to honestly air out why he wasn't on those shows and for the nearly function kept it to himself even though he was constantly being bombarded with questions about it. But, nothing skilful would have come of information technology were he to lash out. And so out of respect to Holly and Jon he didn't.

After reading the tweets Holly had sent out, I recognized that what she was now lashing out most wasn't the t-shirt, just the fact that I relaunched my comic-book movie/tv show "The Weekly Hero" with Robert (something I had e'er planned on doing once I found an advisable co-host). I reached out to her again with the following:

Nosotros continued to commutation messages that mostly became repetitive. She was insisting I cancel my show and repeatedly made negative comments nigh me as a person (I assume to either try to be hurtful or to describe me into a fight.. considering sometimes when we're pain all we really want is a skillful fight). I would ask her to help me understand why my show needed to be canceled when many other like shows are up. Nosotros weren't getting anywhere. I asked her several times for us to have an actual sit downwards conversation, I told her I would put anything on the table if we could talk. She ignored those requests and just continued to insist that it was wrong for me to have a comic-book movie news bear witness and that I must abolish it. She went on to make several comments nearly me as a person and I wrote the following:

In the fourth dimension it has taken me to write this, Holly has continued her assault and fired more shots on twitter. I'm not going to fight back. I'thou not going to say one negative word about Holly. She is a titan who is dealing with the unimaginable. Even now I don't think I've gotten to the real issue. It wasn't selling shirts. It wasn't making a shirt. And fifty-fifty at present I don't think it's that I restarted a evidence I was already doing a year ago. I may exist right, I may be wrong. I may never know.

I write this exclusively to give some context. If this is indeed well-nigh me having a show on my youtube channel that talks nigh superhero movies and tv shows, then all I tin can really say is that YouTube is FILLED with people and groups who do videos nigh superhero movies and Television shows. I'thousand unclear why I, the person who actually created AMC HEROES in the first place and had to convince Jon Schnepp that he was capable of hosting the show (and in doing and then he became the greatest superhero and comics talk host in history… best in that location is, best in that location was, best there always will be), should non be allowed to continue to do shows and videos near superhero movies but considering I left the corporation we worked at together. To me, that is unfair and unreasonable.

Just fifty-fifty and so, had Holly said 1 Discussion to me virtually any discomfort she had about me relaunching my evidence… I would at the very to the lowest degree take delayed the relaunch. I don't know, it'southward hard to say because she never gave me that gamble, and left me believing nosotros were on very proficient terms. Until I was blindsided.

Again, I don't know where all this came from and I'thousand not sure I'll ever know. Here is what I do know:

1. Jon Schnepp was the all-time in that location will always be at talking about comics and comic movies/television shows. There will never exist his equal and the most that I and anyone else tin can aspire to is to be 2d best to his standard.
2. Holly is a champ. If almost of us had to deal with what she has gone through these final weeks nosotros'd have all given upwards by at present, laying in the clay just staring at the sun. Holly has stayed on her feet and has given us an instance of what forcefulness and grace look like under the worse force per unit area. No one should EVER judge someone dealing with what she has dealt with in terms of how they choose to deal with it.

To exist honest, I didn't fifty-fifty want to say this much, just I was unwillingly put into a position that I just had to say something, to at to the lowest degree give a little context to the very public graphic symbol bump-off that is going on against both myself and Robert Meyer Burnett on twitter at the moment by Holly. All for the sake… of people doing an cyberspace show talking about superhero movies and telly shows that we all love. This situation SUCKS for everyone involved, most of all for Holly obviously. Zilch good always comes out of stuff like this and admittedly no ane "wins". We all lose. The very fact that nosotros're hither at this point is a testament that we've all already lost.

To be upfront and articulate, this is the final word I'm saying on this. I won't respond to questions about it, I won't appoint in pointless "he said/she said" skirmishes, I won't discredited Holly and I won't justify myself. I just desire to practice my thing as I've always washed: Talk about the things I love in a community that loves the same things. And I just want everyone else to be able to exercise the same.

Every bit a lot of us are still trying to embrace the sheer magnitude of the loss the fan community suffered in the passing of Jon Schnepp, myself included, I have been absolutely inundated with tweets, comments and emails from people asking me why I wasn't on the Collider Jon Schnepp tribute video. Initially, I decided to just non comment on the state of affairs since it wasn't important and I wanted the attention of the moment to be where it belonged… on the tremendous loss the world suffered.

Nonetheless, the corporeality of questions coming in has but increased, and with Robert Meyer Burnett revealing that he was not invited to participate in the HEROES Jon Schnepp tribute, precipitating a bunch of (unfair) accusations that Collider didn't invite me to be on their main tribute video… I decided to address this, if for no other reason than to give a little clarity and permit the attending to return to where it should be.

First of all, Collider did invite me to be on the Jon Schnepp special. Any accusations that they failed to invite me are only untrue. Just prior to Comic-Con (remember, a number of us knew about the extent of Jon's condition prior to the public knowing) Kristian Harloff gave me a call (nosotros had been speaking frequently since Schnepp was hospitalized) and told me near the plans Collider had to exercise a special video virtually Jon and that I should exist there. I thanked him for inviting me, simply that I didn't think it would be practical to practise so. That was the last we spoke of it.

Equally for the question "why?", I won't get into details, simply I will say that while I withal have a great deal of respect and affection for a number of people at Collider, there are also elements at that place that I do not feel that same mode about. The mere thought of being physically at Collider elicits extremely strong negative emotions in me that I can only describe as a mental image of a Dementor sucking the life out of an unsuspecting Hogwarts student. Perchance I'one thousand right to experience that way, possibly I'm wrong, just nevertheless information technology is the way I feel. Equally such, being around Collider in any way is merely not healthy for me. We need to make choices in our lives that are salubrious ones for us. So while I all the same speak and hang out with some individuals there, the notion of physically being at, or being in whatsoever mode associated with, Collider, is merely simply unhealthy for me. I choose to exist happy. I choose to be good for you.

I should as well point out two massive falsehoods that I hear some people saying:

i) Collider needed me to exist there in gild to properly honor Schnepp – Absolutely false. Any of yous who saw the tribute video they did know Kristian, Marking, Dennis and Co. did a wonderful, heartfelt job of remembering and paying tribute to Jon. My presence there was absolutely not required in order for them to do that. Information technology was a special video and washed with a lot of grace and form. It could non take been whatever ameliorate.

2) I needed to exist in that location in gild to properly award Schnepp – Absolutely false. I decided to honor Jon on my own and in my own mode. Judging from the responses I've gotten from all of you, you appreciated it equally much as I appreciated being able to share my feelings and thoughts on the big human's passing. Screenjunkies did their own tribute video, Reel Rejects did their ain… just search on YouTube and you'll see a lot of people paid tribute on their ain. And I did also. Holly, whose herculean strength and grace through the entire ordeal with Jon is an inspiration to us all, really reached out to me about the video I did remembering Jon, and that was probably the most special thing for me in all this.

So, with all that said, it would be great now if nosotros could return 100% of our attention to the tragic loss of someone who was the best of us. As a reminder, Holly Payne and Jon's family unit are going to be facing a catastrophic medical bill that Jon incurred while in the infirmary. Any assist yous can offer to start these crippling costs would be doing a great service to Jon. Delight donate hither: https://www.gofundme.com/getwelljonschneppfundraiser

Some of you may have noticed that the sound only version of The John Campea Podcast hasn't been getting updated for the last number of weeks. In that location is a reason for that. It's been discontinued. Well… sort of.

When I fabricated the motion to do my ain YouTube channel full time (I upload about 70-ninety videos per month. ON MY OWN. No 25 person staff to help me do it anymore) it meant that I would accept to notice means to make my living off doing it. This put me in a difficult position with my audio only podcast since it not merely takes upwards some of my time and energy to convert and upload, information technology was also costing me money every bit I had to pay a half decent podcast hosting service. Information technology too took away potential revenue from me since anyone listening to the audio only podcast wasn't watching the video version on Youtube… which is where I really brand my living. And so having the audio just podcast was kicking me in the balls 3 different, even so equally painful means.

I've done a lot of investigation into how to generate revenue with podcasts, and all of them seemed to be better suited for people who only needed $10/calendar month, or had a REALLY large audition. My sound but podcast was getting around 5k-7k listeners per day, which actually is a small-scale amount compared to the numbers needed to really do annihilation.

Then a number of weeks ago I decided information technology was irresponsible of me to go along to put out the audio only version of the podcast. Therefore I was going to shut information technology downwards. UNTIL…

A bunch of my viewers had been telling me for months (some of them for years) that I should be using Patreon as a way for my viewers who appreciate my content to contribute to its production. I finally decided to effort it and it's been going corking so far. I then thought that since my Patreon supporters were actually contributing finances to the cause, I could provide the sound just version to them as an option.

And so yes, the audio but version of the daily The John Campea Podcast is however around. Nonetheless, information technology's only around for my Patreon supporters who actually make it financially possible for me to exercise it.

Delight note, I didn't kill the sound but version of the podcast so I could make it exclusive to my Patreon supporters. I was already going to kill information technology because information technology was costing me too much in terms of fourth dimension, coin and viewers. In that location was just no upside to me continuing information technology. It was cracking when I was doing it as a hobby, simply now I have to earn a living from it so I had to be a lot more than diligent near where my time, coin and free energy were going.

I hope you lot all sympathize the demand I had to brand that decision. For those of you who aren't supporters on Patreon, you lot are nonetheless able to rip your ain audio only version of the podcast using online Youtube download services with my complete approving if you wish for your ain personal use.

If you're interested in becoming one of my Patreon supporters (yay!) and get my audio simply version of the podcast (among other perks) please visit www.patreon.com/johncampea to detect out more than. Thank you for your understanding and support! Cheers!

Ok, I'm non going to talk about this on video or brand whatever sort of m proclamation because I did that once already. Just I did want to requite those of you who follow me on social media the heads upwardly that I accept given my 2 weeks detect to Complex and that I'grand leaving Collider Video. Since I took 2 weeks vacation time when my friend died on Friday, that means you won't be seeing me back on Collider (except for some stuff I pre-recorded and any guest or freelance stuff I do with them in the future).

Here's the thing, the death of my buddy this calendar week affected me far more than profoundly than I predictable. His passing made me realize ii things:

1) Life is far too brusk to allow yourself to exist unhappy

2) I accept been unhappy at Collider for a while

Now, before anyone reads too much into that concluding statement, I love the people at Circuitous and Collider. As a affair of fact, I was only texting back and along with my (former) dominate last nighttime near how bad Transformers 5 is. We get forth great. He's moving to Los Angeles and we're probably going to hang out a lot. The SVP of Complex was on the phone with me yesterday asking if there was whatsoever way I'd reconsider. They, and the team I've congenital over the years, are all amazing and I hold them all in loftier regard and respect them profoundly. I'll probably still do some random things with them in the hereafter.

Even so, the direction the operation was heading in, as well as some key decisions that were being made, I've disagreed with strongly and take made me very uncomfortable. Not to say that I'm correct to disagree nor that they're incorrect. Not at all. Correct or wrong doesn't come into it. Simply equally I told my (former) boss, if I stayed I was simply going to continue being frustrated and unhappy and mayhap get an obstruction to what he wants to practice with Collider. Neither of those are proficient scenarios for anyone. I desire to be happy, and I desire my boss to succeed because he and all the folks at Collider are awesome.

Life is likewise brusk to allow yourself to exist unhappy.

It's also important to know that I'm not leaving for something else. I don't have anything lined upwardly yet. I take some continuing offers from places and I'm certain I'll become others.

One thing I'm absolutely going to do regardless of whatever other jobs I accept in the futurity is to get my ain YouTube aqueduct properly support and running. I realized a long time ago that I've never been happier than when I was just running my old site The Movie Blog. My own site. My own property. My own thing. I love doing stuff on my ain channel and I'm admittedly going to be doing a lot more at that place moving forwards. I hope you'll join me.

Life is likewise brusk to allow yourself to exist unhappy.

Then delight, allow's not brand a big bargain out of this. I specifically asked Collider Not to make any sort of announcement. I want the focus at Collider Video to be on the people who are still there doing slap-up stuff every day. Not on me leaving.

So you might be asking yourself "why tell us this then?". Well, because I couldn't think of a way to ask you guys to beginning tuning into my YouTube channel more than without telling you what was going on. Trust me, I wish I could have simply disappeared and never mentioned it, but I didn't encounter whatsoever realistic manner of doing that.

Lastly, please do two things:

1) Proceed to watch and support the team at Collider Video. You lot'll never have whatsoever idea how much they bust their asses over there to give you the best content they can.

2) Please consider watching and supporting me too! Subscribe to my YouTube aqueduct, youtube.com/johncampea and make sure you're following me on facebook and twitter @johncampea. I'll update you immediately if and when I determine to take another gig.

Cheers.

Viii years ago I made a video review of Transformers two. In the video I expressed how outraged and offended I was over the blatant racism and use of overtly negative black racial stereotypes. I was beside myself. Granted, I may have been especially sensitive to the subject area matter since my girlfriend of almost a yr at the time only happened to exist black. The twin autobots in the film were the apotheosis of every negative and poisonous black youth stereotype you could muster including them being illiterate (no seriously, robots that couldn't read) and a lack of intelligence. In the video I juxtaposed the positive portrayal of Jazz in the offset moving picture to highlight how offensive these characters were. instead of making these characters strong positive characters like Jazz, I said in the video they opted to portray them as "hood niggas" to highlight just how offensive those characters are. I refused to sugarcoat what I felt the movie did. I was angry. I used extremely ugly language to properly call out and label an extremely ugly situation the picture show created with those characters.

That was 8 years ago and it seems everyone who watched my ENTIRE review understood it perfectly. However, this weekend, eight years after, someone took that video and selectively picked out the iii SECONDS where I used the phrase "hood niggas" while editing out all of the context of the video. Clearly the person had an agenda. They made their own three-2d video, of a review I did 8 years agone, obviously in an attempt to make it announced like I was saying something I was clearly proverb the opposite of. It sickens me that I even have to write this "caption", just that'south the nature of trolls online today. I encourage you to watch the full true context of this nonsense, please view my full review here: https://www.youtube.com/lookout man?v=MvYgzfhwEfI

My objective was non to offend anyone, but rather to share my outrage with others and communicate but how offended I was as an individual over the reckless and heinous use of negative black stereotypes. The reason my review is still online today is because everyone who saw it viewed it in context and understood it as such. In 8 years I never received any complaints from anyone misunderstanding my betoken. I never heard from any viewers expressing they were offended or hurt past my use of the phrase in context. If anyone had, I would accept removed the video EIGHT YEARS AGO. Merely now, when a bunch of people run into it for the first time out of context in a 3 second selectively edited video, information technology becomes a unlike beast (and to some degree that'due south understandable). Obviously, I feel terrible and am securely sorry if anyone took offense or felt hurt by my choice of words. I hope in context it at least is articulate that my intent was to express outrage over what I considered to be an unacceptable portrayal of an entire people group.

I know the trolls that create these sorts of things are simply trying to go a reaction, and information technology sucks that they've succeeded in getting me to respond. It especially bothers me that I have to deal with these trolls the twenty-four hours after my friend died, and instead of being on the phone with my friends back abode grieving, I'm having to deal with this. Terrible day.

**UPDATE** Apparently the mail service with the 3 second video has been deleted past the person who put it upwardly. Ummm… thank you???

To some it came as a complete stupor and surprise. To others, who had been paying attention to the events, odd statements, mixed signals and contradictory positions not as much and then. Either fashion it shook the entertainment world this by weekend when Ben Affleck appear that he was stepping downwards every bit the managing director for the upcoming Batman stand up lone film. His statement was very diplomatic, professional… and consummate fiction. Here's his statement:

"There are certain characters who agree a special identify in the hearts of millions. Performing this function demands focus, passion and the very best performance I can give. It has get clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require. Together with the studio, I have decided to find a partner in a director who volition collaborate with me on this massive film. I am notwithstanding in this, and nosotros are making it, only we are currently looking for a manager. I remain extremely committed to this project, and look forward to bringing this to life for fans around the world."

Diplomatic. Professional. Complete fiction that isn't to be believed.

Before I venture into why no self-respecting motion picture fan should buy into this well meant, although completely deceptive statement, let me say that this was nonetheless absolutely the appropriate statement to make. Regardless of how messy, heated or conflict muddled the truthful situation between Ben Affleck and his vision for the Batman film and Warner Bros had become, it would serve no one'due south all-time interests to air the grievances. No political party hither stood to gain anything by throwing the other nether the proverbial bus or engaging in any sort of public "he said/she said" quarrel, specially since they are both stuck working together (more on that later). The professional person matter to do hither was to draft a argument singing the praises of each other and that's what they did. That'southward likewise what they should accept done notwithstanding that it'southward a complete prevarication.

So why am I and others completely convinced that this statement is nothing more than than a PR charade masking a much deeper problem? Well in that location are several reasons:

1) A GROWING LIST OF DYSFUNCTION AT DC
One could expect much more than innocently at the directorial deviation of Ben Affleck as aught more than than the face up value of his statement had this been the commencement "break up" between WB/DC and one of its filmmakers in recent months. However, Affleck's departure is only the latest in an ever increasing pattern. From Flash recently discarding their script (still once again) for a full page 1 rewrite, to WONDER WOMAN director Michelle MacLaren leaving the project over "creative differences", to Flash going through 2 on record directors (and a 3rd unofficially every bit it was strongly reported that LEGO MOVIE's Lord and Miller were tapped to directly the project before departing the project) and still to this solar day is without a director later parting ways with Rick Famuyiwa. The list astoundingly does keep. A DC moving picture disruption of i sort or another has become a weekly headline and occurrence. To see the Affleck departure outside of that light would be neglectful at all-time.

two) DID BEN LIE TWO WEEKS Agone OR NOW?
Amidst speculation and reports that the human relationship betwixt Affleck and WB was souring (I'll get more than into that in a moment), Affleck took to the phase on Jimmy Kimmel roughly two weeks ago to "prepare the record straight". Kimmel directly asked Affleck: "Are y'all directing the adjacent Batman"? To which Affleck firmly replied: "I'one thousand gonna straight the next Batman we're working on it now". Information technology was clearly set up intentionally. Affleck and WB wanted to dispel the reports and rumors that had started swirling that he may be looking to get out of directing Batman. It was a strategic move to quell the rumors and keep fans confident in the project. With such a calculated and definitive argument made just mere weeks ago, are nosotros actually to believe that Affleck, who has already taken on the dual role of director and thespian in 3 films, 1 of which winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards, at present of a sudden just days later had a complete reversal of philosophy or confidence? Why was he nevertheless firmly confident in his ability and desire to straight Batman just weeks ago, and then suddenly convinced he was incapable of competently doing it at present? These are realizations that happen over the span of years, not days.

three) It WAS CLEAR HE WAS BECOMING UNHAPPY
It wasn't that long ago that Affleck was speaking enthusiastically about the status of his project. He seemed excited. And so much so that he really revealed to the earth that he was so far along in the process that he had selected role player Joe Manganiello to play his villain Deathstroke and had even conducted some concept screen tests which he shared with the public. However, that project of enthusiasm and excitement ended. Well-nigh the start of this new twelvemonth Ben gave us our first look at things falling autonomously in paradise. When asked if he was still directing Batman, Affleck famously responded:

It'south not a set thing and there'south no script. If it doesn't come together in a way I think is really nifty I'm non going to do it,"

Not a gear up thing? No script? Not meeting? Affleck was the writer. He had seemed highly motivated and at to the lowest degree gave the impression that the script was more than just "meeting". It was articulate that at that place was something bigger happening nether the surface. Speculation began that certain WB execs had begun meddling, essentially derailing Affleck and stymying his creative process. The Jimmy Kimmel advent and argument was in directly response to these rumors, and as I mentioned above, that statement now has to be drawn into serious question.

iv) SINCE WHEN CAN AFFLECK NOT ACT AND DIRECT THE Same MOVIE?
Ane of the nearly obvious fabrications of the Affleck/WB argument is the supposed claim that Ben had decided that he could not properly human activity in and direct a Batman motion picture at the same fourth dimension. In the 2012 picture ARGO, Ben both acted and directed… and it could be argued that information technology was both Ben's finest piece of work as an actor AND his finest work equally a director. The movie went on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards and Ben went on to receive the Best Director award from the Director's Social club Of America, The Critic's Choice Awards and the Golden Globes.

Some may want to say that the pressure of directing a Batman flick would be dissimilar. I could accept that logic had information technology not been for the fact that Ben has already been dealing with that pressure for over 3 years now ever since it was appear he was playing Batman. He went through shooting 2 movies as Batman (Batman Five Superman and the first Justice League which is long since wrapped). Ben Affleck did not just suddenly "realize" that there would be bang-up pressure in doing a Batman movie. Not in just the last ii weeks. He has been living it and dealing with it and acclimating himself to it for years already. If Ben Affleck was going to all of a sudden drop out of directing a Batman film because he realized information technology was going to be besides much to handle, he would have done it while shooting Justice League, or BVS, or early on in the stages of shooting LIVE BY Nighttime. Again, I have to go back to the argument he made merely a few short weeks agone. Just WEEKS agone. "I'm gonna straight the side by side Batman".

Are we to believe that he went through the hellish cyberspace backlash upon the declaration that he was our new Batman, that he went through seeing the rigors firsthand shooting Batman V Superman and how much difficulty at that place would be in directing it, that he went through the unabridged production of JUSTICE LEAGUE and yet felt completely confident that he could human activity in AND direct the Batman movie enough to say on national television "I'chiliad gonna straight Batman" only to and then accept a total change of heart on the issue simply 2 short weeks later? The thought is utterly absurd to anyone with an ounce of common sense.

5) AFFLECK IS OBLIGATED TO CONTINUE TO PLAY BATMAN
Some try to lend brownie to the statement past proverb "If Ben was unhappy or if there was problem, why would he all the same stay on to play Batman"? The answer is a simple one. Affleck would actually have no pick in the matter. He is contractually obligated to play Batman for nonetheless many more than films remain on his deal. It would be a crippling PR disaster for WB/DC to let Affleck walk. Affleck equally Batman was one of the few elements of Batman 5 Sueprman that most people agreed was a strong bespeak of the film. To allow Affleck to walk out of his bargain would not only vanquish the already fragile public perception of the DC Cinematic Universe, just also hurt them creatively as Affleck'south Batman is needed to carry the franchise. This leaves Ben in the position that he would accept no selection merely to act professionally, go on to exercise his chore every bit an actor, and assistance the company save face past co-signing the drafted argument. To fail to do then would not merely put Affleck in a precarious position legally with WB, but as well damage his reputation with other studios who may recollect twice nigh working with him again were he to throw another employer nether that proverbial charabanc we talked most earlier.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

The statement Affleck and WB released makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and doesn't stand upwards to the slightest tests of logic or disquisitional thinking. Then what really did happen? What is the real reason Ben Affleck is no longer the director of the upcoming Batman pic? There are a lot of possibilities. Endless possibilities actually. Anything I listing here would merely be scratching the surface of what is possible. The only thing I experience very confident in is that the statement in question is not the truth. There are large systemic problems at WB/DC in terms of how they are handling their DC Cinematic Universe and I fear the enormity of Ben Affleck stepping down as the director of Batman is just the tip of the iceberg.

The amount of mail service nosotros get has always been insane, then getting a question asked on the Mail Handbag segment of Movie Talk, or on the Mail Bag show itself, has been challenging to say the least. Is there whatsoever manner to guarantee you'll go your question/topic asked on i of the shows? No. However, there are some things you can do to give yourself a better take a chance. Here are some pointers:

1. Proceed your email Brusk. Cypher makes usa close an e-mail faster than when we open it upwards and run across someone has written a brusk novel. Seriously, instant delete. Think of it this way, if you can fit your question into a tweet y'all're on the right path. It doesn't Have to be that short, but that should exist your target.
2. Don't enquire something Star Wars or Comic-Book picture show related. We obviously take Star Wars and Comic-Book pic questions, but about 80% of the questions we go are nearly those which leaves us scrambling a scrap to discover other questions too. And then if you submit a question nearly something else, you're but competing with 20% of the other questions instead of competing against the 80%. Much ameliorate chances.
3. Don't inquire something that would give away a spoiler either in the question itself or in the answer. We laissez passer on those instantly.
4. Don't enquire virtually something really obscure. If you ask a question about a picture or property most people haven't heard of, information technology's unlikely nosotros'll answer it since it would immediately go out out well-nigh of our audience.
5. Never ask a question that includes us making a listing. I.Due east. "What's your pinnacle 7…"

Again, following these guidelines won't guarantee you get your email read, just it does give y'all a fighting chance. Hope this was helpful! And remember, email united states of america at collidervideo@gmail.com
