Return of the Batman...

The fandom reaction to this is going to be fun to watch.

It seems like a choice fans are going to hate, and I also happen to think it's a shitty one. Ben Affleck has about the range of Tom Cruise. Just like every movie with Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise IN SPACE or Tom Cruise as a PIRATE NAZI, so is a Ben Affleck movie.

He's just.... a generic vaguely angry Red Sox fan. In every film. I honestly think Orlando Bloom would have been a better choice.... his fops all seem different.

Aside from him have a decent jawline, I'm kind of shocked by the casting. He did okay in Good Will Hunting and in Argo, but he was certainly not close to the best actor in either movie.

And it's not like Affleck has a great record with superhero movies either.

I wonder how he'll play out in that show coming up with Justin Timberlake, about the gambling place down overseas.

He's a far better director than actor.

I wanted Nicholas Cage damnit. The poor guy lost all his castles. He deserves better than Ghost Writer. He never turns down roles, so you know he would have done it.

That would be so meta.... he would be battling Superman, the character he always dreamed of playing, and came so close to...

I reckon who plays Batman will turn out to be of very little importance to the film's quality, because, if Zack Snyder is to direct it, it will neither feature nor require any acting.

...and I just lost all interest in this project.

With that said: He isnt the absolute worst choice. I was worried WB was going to hire some metrosexual, flavor-of-the-month teeny bopper.

I am willing to give Affleck a chance.

I think Justin Bieber was busy getting a makeover.

Okay, so even if you think Daredevil was a shitty movie, you'd be an idiot to think it was because of Ben Affleck.

 

[Stigmata]

I'm a bit shocked by the casting as well, but I think given the criteria searching for, he fits the bit (on paper, that is).

I don't think anyone has ever said Daredevil flopped solely because of Ben Affleck.

I'm not sure who could have redeemed that movie.

I thought it was alright, Electra too but the timing was poor, there was a glut of that kind of movie, the same thing happened with zombi films.

As soon as I read that, I immediately thought of this. Oh how I wasted my teenage years smoking pot and watching awful movies.

Obligatory: It's not your fault, Kal-El. It's not your fault.

.

Wasted?

 

[Totenkindly]

Wasted?

Yes, he probably was.

 

[Poindexter Arachnid]

Man...the internet is going bonkers over this.

 

[Totenkindly]

How many people have signed the "Get rid of Affleck" petition so far?

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

BEN AFFLECK? MORE LIKE BEN ASSFLECK HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAYHAHAHAH!

 

[Totenkindly]

Oh, what a Joker.

I don't know, I think you're kind of dismissing Tom Cruise by comparing him to Affleck as an actor. I think Cruise is a fantastic actor who people suddenly decided not to like because of his weird-ass personal life. I actually think he'd make a decent Batman if he were a little less good looking.

 

[Magic Poriferan]

I was not prepared for a choice quite this awful.

I didn't know who Zack Snyder was. I looked it up. He sucks.
