As we know christian bale was approached to return as batman , he said no and then they picked Affleck. So if Christian bale had said yes, then the bvs would be in the nolan universe.In the same universe the batman has retired (as i understood affleck's batman didnt retire after all, that was only in the dark knight returns) robin took me mantle of batman, catwoman exists, joker was played by a different actor with no harley quinn (different suicide squad movie?) and if batman would be back from retirement, the nolan movies established him as too weak to fight someone like superman.Also we wouldnt have another batman trilogy i think.
So what the story of bvs would be?

You think Bale's rant was bad on a lighting guy a few years ago. He would have killed the writer and director and probably would be in jail today.

Christian Bale said already that WB NEVER approached him.
He has a problem with Robin, as a character, so he would have a problem with campy characters like Flash and Aquaman.
And Cyborg? Forget about it. He would take one look at those costumes and walk out.
"OH GOOD FOR YOU" and his meltdown would begin.

Bale would have only reprised the role if there was a 4th Batman film directed by Christopher Nolan. Nolan didn't want his To be in a world with other heroes, so if that had happened, there would be no road to the Justice League.

Probably the same, but with a bit about him returning to Gotham after f#cking off to Italy. Maybe they'd kill JGL instead of some rando.
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions.
