It's like they didn't get a single one of my fanfic scripts.

Spoiler

Relax guys. I mean, I loved me some Dark Knight, but in the end, this is a movie about a guy in leather fighting another guy in leather who can fly. It's not life-altering.

My mom called me out of nowhere this morning to ask if I had heard about this.
she doesn't even like Batman movies but kept saying how this was such a horrible choice
and she loves Ben Affleck.

Im starting to think WB has a huge problem on their hands.

 

[Ahasverus]

But what can they do? Call him and tell him "Hey, Ben, people don't likeyou, you're fired"? I don't think so. Nothing stops this train.

Literally just about to post this.

 

[RoadHazard]

I'm not as outraged as many of you seem to be. I was mildly chocked when I first read it, yes, but Affleck is not awful, he's really not. I think this can work. Although, yeah, him having previously played Daredevil makes it a little weird.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

please continue with the photoshops showing Affleck as Bats.

It was the best part about the Ledger/Joker meltdown reveal.

 

[junk]

BOOM. Kevin Smith as Alfred

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Ben Affleck is a cool dude. Looking forward to his performance. Hopefully he will have a beard.

 

[RoadHazard]

BOOM. Kevin Smith as Alfred

Jason Mewes as Robin?

 

[Joeki11a]

I think people are assuming too much...

He supposed to be a Elder Bruce Wayne
Also this is a Superman movie so you wont see Batman like you think
you will.



Oh btw I am Legend called this on the first scene in fake time square
Billboard with the same exact logo design

 

[moltonasty]

I don't get this upcoming movie....is it a Superman movie with a Batman cameo? Is it Superman vs Batman? Is it a remake of Dark Knight Returns? The whole thing just reeks of "we want dat avengers $"

 

[Monocle]

If they had to cast a recognizable star, couldn't they at least have chosen someone who fits the role? Somehow I doubt Affleck is going to pull a Heath Ledger and blow away the naysayers with a brilliant performance. I hope that happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Stabby McSter]

Jason Mewes as Robin?

Jason Lee as Syndrome Robin.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Ben Affleck is ACTING in the Batman/Superman movie? Sweet, innocent, talented Ben? He should be behind the camera NOT in front of it! Get rid of Snyder and have Affleck direct the movie. Although, he would probably go in the Nolan direction. He lacks the menace and gravitas required for the character. Poor choice, should have gone with a newcomer.

Batman vs. Superman and not a standalone MoS film.

 

[MYE]

Comic fans raging at Afleck? lol
This movie is gonna be a complete piece of shit because of Snyder.

But sure, hate Afleck

It's Superman vs Batman

Spoiler

, with a villain behind the curtains who they will fight together

Its Bruce vs Luther the money boardroom battles and Bruce assists Clark and eventually reveals himself as Batman, setting up the Justice Movie.

 

[junk]

this movie needs some Gorilla Grodd and Solomon Grundy. Everybody they fought from the Mcguiness run.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Still dreaming this movie is going to be a recreation of "Battle of the Superheroes" from Batman: Brave and the Bold. Still by far the greatest clash of Superman and Batman in any medium.

 

[Dahbomb]

Its Bruce vs Luther the money boardroom battles and Bruce assists Clark and eventually reveals himself as Batman, setting up the Justice Movie.

Batman wouldn't need to reveal himself, Clark will just use his X ray vision to see who it is.

Superman and Batman will probably fight for 20 minutes then rid the world of petty evil. Then Darkseid will show up and spread Neo-Evil, creating a need for new superheroes. Man of Steel 3 becomes Superman and the Justice League.

Superman and Batman is the greatest teamup known to comic books. However, given Snyder's favoritism for Frank Miller's work, we're probably gonna get Batman treating Superman like a meathead.

I just want a World's Finest movie so badly. =(

They should revive the old Batman vs. Superman script where Batman loses it because Joker killed his wife or something. Now it should be because MoS's Wayne satellite fell on his wife.

 

[MegalonJJ]

Interesting casting choice.

Look forward to seeing what approach they take with this.

 

[B.K.]

This movie is gonna be a complete piece of shit because of Goyer.

Fixed.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Its Bruce vs Luther the money boardroom battles and Bruce assists Clark and eventually reveals himself as Batman, setting up the Justice Movie.

That would be cool. No Batman, just Bruce.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Lets all think of who would be better than Ben. Who would you want to see?

I think Anson Mount or Scott Adkins would be the better choice.

 

[squidhands]

Jason Mewes as Robin?

Riddler.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I really don't get the complaints that he doesn't look the part.

Arkham games:

Greg Capullo

This was guaranteed to happen eventually so the guess wasn't out of this world. And it was a very different logo design [/nerdpost]

Micheal Elba

If they are cribbing from the Arkham series then so much the better.
The suit design is fantastic.

 

[dyls]

I'm just glad they finally picked an actor who's believable physically as Batman. Everyone else has been too short (Keaton, Clooney) and/or scrawny (Bale). Kilmer was probably the closest but that movie had far bigger problems. And there's no doubt that Affleck will get ripped for this.

His acting will be fine and his voice can only be an improvement over the tortured growl of Bale. I'm all for it.

 

[Winterblink]

Micheal Elba

Surely you meant Idris Elba.

 

[strafer]

Let's not forget his best role to date.

 

[bengraven]

This is exactly what I feel.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Surely you meant Idris Elba.

I mean Idris Fassbender... and don't call me Shirley.

Micheal Fassbender would be a brilliant choice though. His Magneto could be morphed to Batman easily. Frank Miller's Batman at least.

 

[4444244]

You got what you deserve Comic Book fans!

Of course, you should have given the role to this guy, 100% passion;

[RedShift]

I really just do not care for the guy as an actor. His voice kind of annoys me.

Didn't really like MoS that much so I guess I'm going to save all my 2015 superhero movie hype for Age of Ultron.

Agree here. Snyder is a bigger problem.

Anyone.

 

[Ingeniero]

This is a horrible decision wtf

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

They really wanted that chin, eh?

 

[SilentRacoon]

Anyone.

Even Orlando Bloom?
Come on, you guys can't even think clearly anymore.

 

[thecouncil]

I'm not saying this situation is similar but since it's been mentioned in this thread, it's fun to look back on things.
