Ben Affleck is the new Batman

[Miko]

Ben Affleck couldn't portray the complexity of Daredevil, how in the shit are people trusting him to properly portray Batman?

lol, he can read lines, he can play Batman

 

[Барбоса]

This casting does not concern me anywhere near as much as the potential "Batman vs Superman" storyline that is being touted.

That just sounds awful.

 

[Shocky]

I would have thought that Taylor fucking Lautner just got cast as batman. The more important casting decision is for Lex (if he's in it).

 

[Alex]

Affleck is actually a decent actor. He'd be fine playing Bruce Wayne/Batman.

The script on the other hand is the deciding factor

 

[Kip The Fury]

 

[The Butcher]

Geez people, give Ledger a chance!

MOS's script was about as good as a Garrett Bischoff match. So if that's what your hedging your bets on, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Supposedly the rumor is that WB really wants Affleck to direct the Justice League movie, but Affleck told them he doesn't direct movies if he's also not acting in them, so next thing you know we get Affleck cast as Batman in MoS 2 & WB is now one step closer to getting Affleck as the director for Justice League.

We can always have Kevin Conroy voice over him.

I'd say it was more of a Jay Bradley match script. Potential but didn't really do much

 

[The Butcher]

Ooh! Let me try!

It's more like Wes Brisco- flashier look than the 1980 version, but not nearly as good.

All the mental breakdowns are making me happy. I hope he goes and kills it. I am now actually kind of excited for this film because it will never be as bad as the fanboy's are already claiming it will be. This will be one of the best social experiments ever.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

While Daredevil (especially the extended version) is better than people give it credit for, I do not want Ben Affleck as Batman.

Just because of the Daredevil factor? That seems silly given that Ben has shown in more recent times that he is capable of playing characters with some of the complexity of the Bruce Wayne/Batman conundrum.

Plus Daredevil seemed to be pretty shit across the board and was made over 10 years ago now.

 

[Alastor]

Danny Pudi is Batman.

 

[Coco]

Jay Bradley has potential?

 

[Lee]

It is the older Batman I wanted.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Absolutely fucking abysmal decision. You'd think the piss poor job he did as Daredevil, who he's roughly ten billion times more suited to play, would have convinced the studio otherwise. Then again, I'm of the opinion that a good Bruce Wayne/Batman has never been committed to film, so Affleck might have the chance of taking Bale's title of "best of a bad bunch." Kevin Conroy shits on all of them from great heights.

No, I'm just not enthused by Ben Afleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

They actually asked Affleck to be Superman a while back as well.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

No, I'm just not enthused by Ben Afleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

So why bring up Daredevil then? That's twice now someone has referenced Ben Affleck and Daredevil, then say Daredevil isn't a factor, I'm getting confused by this trend.

He sort of was in Hollywoodland. Or at least he played an actor who had played Superman. George Reeves I think?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Michael Clarke Duncan and, I can't believe I'm saying this, Colin Farrell were fine in Daredevil. Everybody else was either incredibly miscast (Jon Favreau as Foggy fucking Nelson!) or just plain shit (Jon Favreau as Foggy fucking Nelson!).

 

[Alex]

Jay Bradley has potential?

Probably should've said Manik or Kenny King

Didn't know Ben was doing the casting for the film too? ;-)

If you look at the directors track record, it shouldn't be a shock that Daredevil isn't well liked.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The problem, as I'm sure you're well aware, wasn't that Afflect was castin' the film, it was that he was cast in the film.

 

[Loveless]

Terrible director, extremely average Superman, awful Batman. I'm out.
