Ben Affleck is the new Batman

I was wrong about Ledger, so I'm not bashing the casting for anymore batman movies.
 
Maybe he can convince the studio to get his buddy Kevin Smith on board to write, and they can make that Batman & Superman buddy comedy I talked about.
 
Ben Affleck couldn't portray the complexity of Daredevil, how in the shit are people trusting him to properly portray Batman?
 
Some how when people say "OOOh this is gonna burn shit down on the internet", it only happens in the comment sections.

Don't like it. Will see it though.
 
I'd be all for Affleck directing a Batman film, but I do not like the idea of him as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
 
I was kinda rooting for Fassbender doing the cape. Compared to that, this is well...shite.


But since everyone is being nice tonight....let's see.
 
As long as they get the casting right for Lex Luthor and have Batman in a much lesser role than Superman it can still be good.

Edit: Scratch that it would still mean Superman having significant screen time. Can we just make a Lex Luthor movie with Bryan Cranston instead?
 
While Fassbender would have been cool, I don't mind Ben getting the role at all. "But Daredevil wah wah wah...", that was at a time where all he did was be in shite films and showed little promise for the future.

The Affleck of recent years has directed and acted to a much higher degree that people thought him capable of just a few years prior. I'm optimistic about this.
 
I actually like the decision. He's left his pretty boy persona behind and shown he's actually pretty good both behind the camera and in front. I'm honestly really excited now.
 
I don't see any reason to be too up or too down on the selection. Personally, anyone other than Christian Bale was going to let me down. And honestly, it's not like a dude has to be Laurence Olivier to pull it off.
 
I'm okay with this. Ben Affleck is one of the best actors currently in Hollywood, however it sucks when a lead role is replaced by someone else - I remember when there were rumors of replacing Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter series, damn how shitty would it be?
 
While Daredevil (especially the extended version) is better than people give it credit for, I do not want Ben Affleck as Batman.
 
I'm okay with this. Ben Affleck is one of the best actors currently in Hollywood

Nah, I could probably name 50 actors working today better than him. He's one of the best Directors for sure, though.

Better than Gosling

No, he's not. Gosling would kill as Bruce Wayne/Batman.


Anyways, the more I think about it, the more I think this film is going to be shit no matter who is cast as Batman. I actually feel bad for Affleck in the sense that if the movie ends up sucking that he's going to get most of the blame for it, even though it won't at all be his fault. It'll be just like 2003 all over again for the guy, at a time when people were just starting to respect and like him. I don't think it's a good move on his part.
