Airheads
Rumor Mill

Aquaman 2
David Zaslav might be striking again… or just doing MAJOR reshoots.
AND
Ben Affleck joining the cast has pushed Michael Keaton out.
AND
Zaslav also wants to bring Matt Reeves’ universe into the new DCEU proper.

Batman
Matt Reeves’ Robert Pattinson lead movie series rumored to be phased out upon completion of trilogy.

Snyderverse
David Zaslav is said to be in favor of maintaining the Zack Snyder version of things. With Ben Affleck sticking around, that seems to have some weight.
