Ben Affleck Is The New Batman

Bale wasn't the best Batman either... Might as well give someone else a shot.

I agree... but why Affleck?

Not saying he's a bad actor or anything, although he's a much better director. They made a big deal about how they wanted to possibly go with a older, more 'rugged' Batman. And they chose Ben Affleck?

Jesus

Ben Affleck Is The New Batman



Ben Affleck is Batman.

The actor will replace Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming untitled Superman-Batman feature for Warner Bros., the studio announced Thursday.

I am reminded of when Clooney had the role. Like Clooney Affleck could be perfect for playing Wayne but not intense enough to be Batman.

Who knows. Give it a shot I say before knocking it.

They should've chosen Mel Gibson instead.

Ugh. The guy is a very good director and should stay behind the camera.

To his credit though, Daredevil wasn't too bad and he was ok in it. I don't know why people always bash that movie. There are many worse superhero movies and many worse Affleck movies if you're looking to rip either.

My gut says this is just George Clooney redux. I wonder if they'll go back to the nipple suit

He already played a super hero back in 2003. Affleck needs to copy the voice of Kevin Conroy's Batman and Bruce Wayne.

So Matt Damon will play Robin?

Shit basically writes itself.

After Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo Affleck gets a pass for me for the time being. Awesome director, and was a good actor in two of those films. I thought he was good in Kevin Smith flicks earlier in his career and good in Good Will Hunting. Just that one stretch where he was clearly just after the $$$ and made some terrible choices.

I'm not a huge superhero movie guy tho so maybe that's why I'm not upset. I'm more pissed that this will take up time away from behind the camera for him.

Seems like there could have been worse choices, he'll probably make a good Bruce Wayne.

i can see it now, the uncensored tapes of Bruce drunk calling Catwoman, saying he hopes she gets raped by a pack of jokers
