A $250 million film just to recast a character no one cares about anymore? Dude, they make movies just to write it off. Look at Fant4stic. That was a total rights grab. Studios do that all the time. And Affleck was saying that he's looking for a way to segue out. That would be the perfect opportunity to do so. And doing it this way it would be like the younger Bruce was there the entire time. The only person that would know would be Barry. Fant4stic? That is not the kind of movie to follow the template for. Batman is not a profitable character anymore, so he definitely isn’t worth making an entire movie just as a flimsy excuse to recast him.

Batman vs Superman was one of the most profitable movies of 2016 and Lego Batman will probably be one of the most profitable of 2017.

What I'm saying is that studios spend money to make movies for lesser reasons. And who says Batman isn't profitable? He was one of the reasons that people wanted to see BvS.

BvS greatly underperformed, and is no doubt a contributing factor to why people are sick of the character.

It was the people making the movie itself. Point is that the movie severely hurt Batman’s profitability as a character, and it looks like its only going to be a downward spiral from here after the underperformance of that LEGO movie and the reviews for JL. Let’s not kid ourselves, people don’t care about Batman anymore. He’s yesterday’s news, and assuming the Matt Reeves movie does get made (I really hope it doesn’t) I can almost guarantee it won’t perform as well as WB will be hoping.

Just cast Nightwing for one solo movie and a cameo or two and then let the actor step in as a young Batman after Batfleck inevitably gets killed off.
The only problem with that is I can't even begin to think of anyone that could make a good Nightwing in one movie and then a good Batman in the next.

You compare an animated LEGO movie to an actual Batman movie? Come on man. Didn't Mask of the Phantasm get a theatrical release?

They were also pushing it as a LEGO movie first. They were capitalizing on The LEGO Movie and Batman's character in it.

I have no problem with JG doing it. So long as he doesn’t want to bum the Joker instead of fighting him.
