WB to announce Batman/Superman movie for 2015 - Page 5

*Turo602* · 08-23-2013, 07:27 AM

Considering a lot of the names that were being tossed around, I actually found myself relieved it was Ben Affleck. I'm not totally bothered by this, I just want to see how he does. Casting, no matter how strange has seemed to work before. Let's hope this is the case. I still find it weird though, considering Affleck is a big star. I'm used to seeing unknown actors actually become the role, like Christian Bale and Henry Cavill. Seeing Affleck as Batman is just... Ben Affleck as Batman.

My friend sent me a text, last night. It read, "ben affleck?" So I googled the name, assuming it was news of some sort.

I was like,

I'm sure Ben Affleck is a good actor, or whatever. But I'm not sure he's an actor that the average viewer can see past. We'll see...

If Daniel Craig, Michael Keaton, and Matt Smith have taught us anything, it's not to automatically pass judgement and run the risk of looking like an idiot. I'm just going to wait and see how he does.

Could be worse, they could cast Megan Fox as April. Just imagine...

Herr herrr. Funny joke!

My sides. Completely intact.

I've never watched anything Ben Afflect was in so I have no opinion. Judging by looks he looks like a Bruce Wayne.

This video sums up my thoughts quite perfectly:

I was very disappointed. I remember when casting for Batman Begins was just in the making that Ben was asked about the part and if he was interested in doing it. He more or less said hell no, he wanted no part of any more comics based films, especially Batman. So what($) changed his mind?
If the role was sooo beneath him before, then why is it ok now?

*The Stryker* · 08-23-2013, 02:17 PM

The Batman franchise was coming off of Batman & Robin back then.

Because he has experience with failure, he PUBLICALLY admitted that Daredevil damaged his career.

And Dare Devil. Just for comparison.

The fans has started a Petition to force Warner Bros to remove Ben Affleck as Batman. http://movies.yahoo.com/news/fans-pe...164352377.html

So, History DOES repeat itself.

*Turo602* · 08-23-2013, 03:40 PM

The funny thing is, I always thought he was a better fit for Green Lantern and Ryan Reynolds for Flash. Apparently they're seeing something Batmanish about him we aren't though.

Lord Nightwalker · 08-23-2013, 03:55 PM

Apparently. Maybe he will surprise us, But I am doubtful. I remember how fans were upset with Keaton until they actually saw him in the part. Then the excitement was on! Perhaps this will end up the same.

Horrible News...

a crappy actor and a ridiculously overrated director gets to play Batman

this is why DC is getting its ass kicked and why its gonna kill the hype for this as well, knowing this fancy female is getting the role is gonna be a lot of unnecessary hype for what was supposed to be hype for a lot of positives. Superman vs Batman is what were supposed to be talking about and the thrill of match making but now that's overshadowed because movie execs are completely oblivious with the public they produce for and their record show just that..

they always f*ck things up with crappy remakes and comic book movies and I hope this movie crashes and burns, I just cant get into knowing that the Dark Knight is gonna be played by this sugar coated Fairy..it just wont be believable know matter how they spin cause we know Affleck is a pure panzy in real life.. when he we see certain actors we identify with characters they portray, when we see Daniel Craig we know that's f*cken Bond..

Bennifer doesn't have that ONE DAMN BIT its just another project for him to impress his wifes females f*cken friends telling her how she has such a great husband and the perfect life..

Affleck should be f*cken shot...
