Nice! If I close my eyes and wish hard enough for it to have most of the Batman family in there for the first time I'll hopefully be made happy.

Please be Court of Owls. They are perfect for an older, seasoned Batman.

Geoff Johns on Batman is a no go for me.

Johns doesn't have a good track record with Batman. Earth One is all about his incompetent newb Batman and even that isn't good
I have full confidence in Affleck directing but if the script is crap there's no hope for the movie

This is an instance where Affleck's involvement is a huge positive. He's got a great track record as a director.
Geoff John's doesn't fill me with the most glee as I think Batman is the leaguer he gets the least, but he's a good writer all around so once I accept his vision is just WB's version of Batman I'll roll with it.

Has Johns ever wrote a movie? I am interested to see Affleck direct, though.

YES. After all these years with Batman taking Superman down a peg, getting put over him at every turn, now we have Johns doing a Batman movie.

Nah, he's not going to adapt something his biggest internal rival wrote.

I've been saying it for years.ClayFace.
I'll settle for Edward Norton as Mr. Freeze.
Maybe hush.

I'm mixed on this. I do think directing is Affleck's strongest quality but I am just not a fan of his acting. I haven't really liked him in anything, and I highly doubt his portrayal of Bruce Wayne will be an exception.
With that said, I hope this Batman film steers away from all the other Batman film concepts, and does something new and fresh. I would love to see the whole Batman family incorporated in this film (Dick, Barbara, Jason, Tim, Kate, ext.) and not just center on Batman. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Leto returning as the Joker for this project!

Great news! Affleck is an awesome director and Johns' writing (tv and comic wise) has gotten way better lately. Looking forward to this!
