What if. Just WHAT IF.
After the critical response for BvS and possibly similar results for upcoming DC movies, the Warner execs just go "Fuck it, lets hire the guy who worked for Marvel" and they get Whedon to direct the Justice League? A hail mary, wild card play.
Obviously WB would make sure Whedon doesn't over overstep it with the quips and the whedon dialogue, but how does it sound?Say what you want about the guy, but he knew how to handle a bunch of divas at once....even if it just worked the one time

He quit because he didn't like the huge pressure. He'd been basically doing the job for five years shepherding both projects to completion, you can't really blame him for wanting to step off.
Also I think you're underestimating the public here. They know a cash-in when they see one; it'll keep them away. If they think you're making a formulaic copy - right down to the same director - they'll stay away.
Face it, he had his chance to do Wonder Woman and they said no. There's plenty of other directors out there. If you'd told me in 2007 that by the end of the following year there would be a billion dollar Batman movie, much less one helmed by Christopher Nolan, I'd have laughed in your face. Probably spat a little, smacked you to the ground too. You know what you did.
Whedon's not terrible, /tv/ is just full of man-children.
I can easily overlook Age of Ultron given Marvel's past at micromanaging their films and his track record with several shows.
But no, they're going to double down on the strategy they already have. Nobody gives a shit about bad reviews: people want the Bats, they're gonna get the Bats. Just like AoU doesn't mean shit for the Civil War hype.

get some taste jesus

They really can't just make Batman the center of their universe, that shit gets tiring. Look at RDJ in the MCU. Some people are dying to see him get his ass kicked.

>things are so bad it got to a point where we're ok with Whedon now
Well then

Hes an untalented hack. Firefly was retarded, boring, unoriginal bullshit. Buffy is similarly overrated. He fucked up the aloen franchise, and killed the NCU with the shitfest if mediocrity and botedom that was AOE. I hope he gets gangeraped by a pack of ghetto apes, and dies horribly and screaming of cancer.

I thought he quit because tumblrites turned on him.

Seasons 2-5 of Buffy are amazing.
Just give it to Miller

That show was complete trash.

>The bargaining stage
Get over your grief /co/ it's pathetic.
>>81014587
Whedon is done with superhero assemble films. It's why he declined to direct Avengers 3.

No he quit TWITTER because of that.
It worked one time?
He directed something other than the Avengers?
