He'll be a better Batman than Bale
When was this?He is now the only actor to have played both Superman and Batman. (and Daredevil too, but whatever no one cares about Daredevil)
Also lately Affleck has been pretty good so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The Town was pretty fantastic.

That's because you're used to Nolan's super-serious Batman films. This movie doesn't have to follow the same footsteps.

This, too. It makes the performance more convincing because he's not a megastar that's plastered all over the tabloids. I'll mention Benedict Cumberbatch as

I mean, unless they reboot AGAIN for the next Batman series of movies he's going to be doing those too. This movie is supposed to be the stepping stone for Batman to relaunch into a new universe.
Man of Steel 2 |OT| F
Ben Affleck
ucking
These comments don't put me at ease because then I remember the other Batman films.
In the end I shouldn't overreact since this is still a Snyder film. Man of Steel was average as hell.
I think it just bothers me since we just had an amazing closure to one of greatest adaptations of Batman fiction. Only to end up having the possibility of it being botched a few years later.

Hollywoodland. Brilliant movie.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this.

If it doesn't then it'll be a disappointment. I don't want an Iron Man or Avengers style of film for Batman. It's going to be a huge downgrade if that's what happens.

I'll take him as long as he doesn't do the stupid Bale voice.

seriously lol
oh well i never saw the superman movie im sure this will be just as bad
We won't be seeing a Batman origin film for quite some time.
Yeah. I never felt Bale's portrayal of Batman was some difficult plateau for actors to reach. Affleck just needs to learn how to snarl at people. I don't remember the Batman character needing that much range. If Man of Steel is anything to go by the same applies.
Snyder and the team that made Man of Steel spearheading this project should be the most worrisome news about this film.
Hollywoodland. Great movie, great performance.

Can you really compare this with Heath? TDK had everything going for it, where Ledger was an amzing actor with an already stellar track-record, while Nolan had a flawless resume with Memento, Insomnia, BB AND The Prestige.
This time however, we've got a decent actor, an incredibly daft director, a screenwriter that's 50/50 great or horrendous and the world's most rushed production schedule.
I hope I'm wrong, but it's not the same as it was with Heath.

He'd be a great cocky, asshole Batman that enjoys himself. Too bad the writing won't be there.

Did Bale, Keaton, Kilmer or Clooney "Carry" their respective movies? Closest was Begins and that's because it was an origin story. I doubt we'll see one of those again. Batman movies are as much about who the villians are as they are about who Batman is.
Hell yeah! Im a huge Afleck fan. His acting skills are leagues away from where he was during Daredevil. I think he would make a perfect Bruce Wayne. This movie is gonna be huge. Ben Afleck has been on a winning streak for a long time and it looks to continue. I like this decision.

It's been posted before but...
Now let's get his wife to be Catwoman and Colin Farrell as Deadshot.

Its a movie about the original superman actor who was found shot to death.
Here is the thing. Afleck is a really damn good actor and great director . WB getting him involved is a gokd think he is cocky enough to pull off bruce and well nothing van be worse than bakes growling batman. He can then take over directing duty on a few wb comic movies to take over for nolan

I think so, too. Definitely an odd/unexpected choice. But, I believe.

Catwoman was one of the worst parts about The Dark Knight Rises because these studios do not understand how to cast. And Bane was a somewhat interesting villain that was neutered. Scarecrow and Two Face were ho hum. The Joker was the only villain in the Nolan trilogy that I would say was fantastic. The Batman villains can be just as lame. Plus, this is a WB/Synder combination. Do you honestly expect them do something like the Penguin without it coming across as completely hokey? I have zero confidence.
