Etan Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Just a cool update on who is going to play batman in the upcoming moving Superman and Batman. Ben affleck is going to take the role as batman! This is according to yahoo and other sources. So what's your opinion on him playing batman? Quote
justafrog Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 We're all doomed. Is it too late to re-sign Michael Keaton? 1 Quote
Anakinisvader Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 My gosh, there are more batmen than Bond girls. Who's next? Dennis Rodman? Quote
ExoBro94 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I'm going to be completely honest, I hate Ben Affleck. Well, I mostly hate Affleck the director, not Affleck the actor. I was at the Boston Academy Member screening for Argo, and he did a Q&A. He's quite pompous. I'll be seeing this movie because it's Superman, not because Ben Affleck is Batman. 2 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Ben Affleck needs Acting School a little more than I need you... He is terrible though. Wont even come close to watching it. Quote
Etan Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Why all the hate on affleck. I thought he did great directing and acting in Argo. Who else would you rather have play batman. 1 Quote
sadowsk1 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing it. Quote
spener90 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Argo was a good movie, not because of his acting. I will hold my opinions until it is confirmed officially. I really enjoyed Bale's Bruce Wayne, but I am skeptical here. Quote

Argo was quite literally one of the worst films of the year IMHO. Watch it a second time.. you will notice that there is a ton wrong with the structure and pacing. What most people don't realize is that it won best picture because Hollywood always likes to see itself as a hero. The Academy Members voting for it was basically a giant circlej**k. Quote
dnb_boy_3 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Daredevil, Gigli, Surviving Christmas, etc. This news by itself has already ruined my childhood idol. Someone seriously dropped the ball on this. Someone who should not be making the big decisions like this because apparently they are unqualified to do so. I hope they go the way of Microsoft and listen to the people for once in their careers. I know we can't have Bale but there has to be someone much better fitting than Affleck Quote
BrickBabe Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I hate Ben Affleck. I hate Christian Bale even more for refusing to do the movie though. No one can be batman but him. Quote
ExoBro94 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Batman go screw yourself. That doesn't flow as nicely... Edited August 23, 2013 by Huskers1236 language gentlemen 1 Quote
TheDarkness Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Argo was a good movie, not because of his acting. I will hold my opinions until it is confirmed officially. I really enjoyed Bale's Bruce Wayne, but I am skeptical here. It is confirmed officially by Warner. Disappointing news to be honest.... Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Why all the hate on affleck. I thought he did great directing and acting in Argo. Who else would you rather have play batman. I haven't seen Argo so can't comment. My problems are: 1. Don't see him as an action hero - see Daredevil 2. I can't respect anyone who does movies like Pearl Harbor and surviving Christmas 3. He just looks like a D-bag 1 Quote
stackables Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Not good news at all. Very disappointed in the choice. Quote
Etan Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Not being Ben affleck biased but the new movie is supposed to have a older batman. Not a young 25 year old. Just thinking about it he fits the role to me as an older batman. Who else would we rather have Will Ferell. Quote

The use of Will Ferrell doesn't help your point... because yes I would rather have Will Ferrell. Quote
Etan Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Alright I guess we all have are opinions. Quote
brandon90820 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I think he's a good actor. while i'd rather have joseph gordon leavitt, I think if they want to leave TDK trilogy and its mythos alone no one will/should complain. I hated bale's growly voice anyway Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 LOL as a POI fan I was thinking Jim Caviezal would fit the roll. He just has that man-of-few-words tough guy vibe. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Bring back Val Kilmer. Of course, they would need to put 3 Batsuits together for him to fit. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Arrghhh is this going to be Batman & Robin all over again ? I do not see Affleck as Batman much more than Clooney as Batman If they need older Batman that bad, they should bring back Adam West Quote
kerrmando Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I can't think of many people besides Bale that I'd want to play Batman... Quote
ExoBro94 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Bryan Cranston standing on apple boxes would be nice. Quote
