Is Batman once again the central character? Isn't this some type of overload?
As Zack Snyder said, he is trying to stay as close as possible to the main characters' mythologies. However, the most recent rumors concern the first 2 superhero's of DC's Trinity: Batman and Superman.
As it goes, the first rumor says that the Man of Steel sequel has been indefinitely put on hold "“ which, basically, means that the studio won't do it anytime soon, at least not in this current phase of the DC Extended Universe. Actually, we might have guessed that for quite a while ago, since Henry Cavill said that a universe needs to be established, with really powerful potential threats, for Superman to have another solo flick.
The second rumor, and the most recent one, says that Warner Bros was actually very impressed of Ben Affleck's take on the Caped Crusader. And that is why they want to beef Batman's role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as much as possible. Of course, at the expense of Superman.
And this is yet another kind of overload, about which Emma Thompson talked. Sure enough, she referred to the Spider-Man franchise, who is already at the third main actor in 15 years. But this can be applied to Batman as well.
Everybody loves this superhero "“ but maybe he should move a bit into the background and let others in the spotlight. And why is this an overload? Simply because it shows that DC and Warner Bros are lacking any ideas, so they are taking refuge in what they knows to work: movies centered on Batman.
Do you think too that this is some kind of overload?
