Real world Hollywood and our own HTG Hollywood occasionally blurs its borders. Sometimes a project in one reality can be similar to another in certain characteristics. It has happened again, learning from a recent announcement by Warner Brothers Pictures.
WB has stated that their new Batman, replacing the recent Christina Bale, in the upcoming Superman-Batman film will be none other than Ben Affleck. Still trying to live his Daredevil role down, perhaps this new performance will eliminate that superhero movie memory from moviegoers' minds.
Coincidentally, it is the actor's brother Casey who has portrayed the Dark Knight in six HTG films from Flip Brothers Studio. Will this new announcement by Warner Brothers give the Flips a reason to put another Batman film on HTG screens?
Speaking anonymously, a representative of that studio has said yes and no.
"We do have ideas for more Batman films," the spokesman explained, "but it won't be with Casey Affleck. We wish to put that part of the franchise behind us, mostly due to bad memories of another participant. We will eventually cast a new actor, but only when the script is at a point that we are confident to do so."
A person from rival Amyland Studios has his own idea for that casting.
"They should have just women in all of the parts. Bruce Wayne, Alfred, everyone. I think that Parker Posey would be a great Batman. They should look into that. And, oh... bobo."
Happening reporters will keep track of this story as it develops.

There is no truth to the rumor that Flip Brothers Studio is recasting Casey Affleck.
That's what you say now. But, when three months from now when you advertise Batman and the Funhouse of Horror starring Stephen Colbert, you'll have to fess up.
