Oh my, yes. Everything is fine.

...and I don’t want to hear any ‘he was never actually cast!’ bull**** from anyone. The Hollywood Reporter broke his casting, and they don’t publish unsubstantiated information.

His Tweet makes it sound like he's just squashing the Trump rumour, but the EW article says he's out altogether now.

What is going on?!

 

[FunkMiller]

What is going on?!

 

[Flint Marko]

I'm still going to remain cautiously optimistic for the movie but..... yeah.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

well thats extremely disappointing

 

[Black Narcissus]

Oh my, yes. Everything is fine.

lol You are reaching, man.

He also cited “scheduling” issues.

Now, if Joaquin were to drop out then you can give me one of them tinfoil hats, but till then, Baldwin is right. There are many other actors who can play Thomas Wayne.

And you’re very... er... trusting.

‘Scheduling issues’ is right up there with ‘creative differences’.

 

[David H.]

So... how much money do y’all think they’re gonna be dumping on Michael Keaton’s doorstep now?

 

[Black Narcissus]

And you’re very... er... trusting.

And the main attraction is Joaquin as the Joker. Baldwin was a good choice, but easily replaceable.

So... how much money do y’all think they’re gonna be dumping on Michael Keaton’s doorstep now?

My answer is always Kurt Russell for everything.

for this?

oh I hope not, he's still got a batman beyond movie he has to make

 

[FunkMiller]

My answer is always Kurt Russell for everything.

This movie would be instantly ten times better with the application of Kurt Russell.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Suitable replacements:

Kenneth Branagh
Sean Bean
*****ebag Sean Penn
Ralph Fiennes

 

[StarLord]

George Clooney!

 

[David H.]

“Hello? Mickey Rourke?”

 

[batdude]

Maybe Bruce Campbell could replace Baldwin.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Time for Val Kilmer's comeback.

 

[Travesty]

The Hollywood Reporter: this just in, Kurt Russel is cast as Thomas Wayne in the new Joker movie.

m1ll3r: OMGZ, this is proof that the movie will fail!!!! I don't want to hear any crap from anyone! Sure, sure, try to tell me everything is fine. Everything is NOT fine! This movie will end all of humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Shape]

I could totally see why Baldwin wouldn't want to be completely typecast in that kind of Trump-ian role.

Great comment on the EW piece: "A shame - thousands of Trump supporters were looking forward to watching him get shot in an alley."

[Travesty]

Yeah, that's the joke, bud.

 

[FunkMiller]

Yeah, that's the joke, bud.

Ah... was that what it was? Thanks for clarifying.
