    He was a good actor then he went completely shit but I think he has managed to overcome that recently and has made some good films. He fucked daredevil up though.

    • He was a terrible actor, then became a worse actor, then became a great director.

    • This.

      Burton's batman films were the best. And Michelle Pfeiffer was the best catwoman by a mile.

    I had no idea about this. I was just fine without knowing but with this information I hereby conclude that I think he's gonna suck it. Either way, I don't give a shit about batman or superman and I have no interest in the movie whatsoever. Lucky for me I'll forget all about this little incident before I even leave the page.

    He already fucked up one superhero movie when he was a blind guy and that movie sucked. Besides, Batman's dark scarry voice is going to sound retarded with a boston accent. Its gotta be the worst one. Even worse than those pig fuckers in Appalachia.

    I thought Christian Bale was pretty shit.

    I think Ben Affleck will be as good or better.

    I only liked Batman for the 1992-95 'Batman: The Animated Series', that was a great little chunk of my childhood.

    But no other adaptation to screen has worked for me, and the recent Nolan trilogy was an overhyped, overblown, over-expensive, superficial mess (Ledger as The Joker being the diamond in the rough).

    In other words, I don't give a fuck who plays Batman.

      Yeah credit to Nolan for what he has done but I'm a big fan of campy batman, like in the 1966 version. In the words of the joker
      "Whyy sooo serioouuuusss?"

    I don't agree with actors getting into conservation work. They should leave it to conservationists. How would they like it if they were in a romcom and they had to play a romantic lead opposite Scarborough Bat Sanctuary?

    Maybe, he will do well. Or, maybe he won't. Its hard to know. At this point, I can't really remember what he looks like and the visual I am getting is quite possibly another person and I am just getting the two mixed up.

    If they're going to cast Ben Affleck as Batman, why don't they cast James Holmes as the joker.

    Christian Bale was a good batman, why is he being replaced with someone who isn't even a good actor?

    What about...
    Ben Affleck as a
    footballer?

    I reckon this ex aussie rules footballer (Brad Ottens) is a dead ringer

    1st: Ben Affleck doesn't have the appropiate profile for this kind of role. He is better suited for other kinds of films. He already had a role as a comic superhero, and while I don't think that he actually sucked that much, he just wasn't good enough.

    2nd: Celebrity nonsense in this site? Seriously?

      I wouldn't say it's "celebrity nonsense" at all. It's pop culture, certainly, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's isn't like we're gossiping about his personal life.

    I've always had a soft spot for Ben Affleck, so heck yeah, I'm excited to see the movie!

    I won't judge until I've seen the film - if I even see the film. I'm not very familiar with Ben Affleck.

    I agree with a lot of the other points people have made here, though. The superhero genre, especially Batman with the Dark Knight films, has taken a few changes I don't especially enjoy, like going all "oh look, isn't he dark and moody and mysterious" (for the record, I do think they do those things very well but I don't necessarily think it was the right direction). I also think there's a saturation of films in the genre and not very much risk-taking or ingenuity.

    Honestly, I like Affleck, or rather I don't think badly about him. I have faith that he'll be a good batman.

  • bananaface

    Ah yeah, my mam mentioned this. She thinks he's going to make a great Batman but I don't think I'm going to like him as Batman. I'm not convinced. Plus, wasn't he Daredevil? He's hogging all the superheroes man!

    Either way, I'm not really keen on what they're doing with superhero films these days. I especially dislike how dark and sinister they made Batman. What was the point?

    Answer: Booooo! I'l just have to wait and see, though. Maybe he'll blow my socks off! Doubt it.

      Well in fairness, Chris Evans played the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four before he was cast to be Captain America. So Affleck is not the only actor to be hogging superhero roles.

        Plus, the Human Torch and Captain America could potentially meet! They're from the same universe. At least Daredevil and Batman couldn't ever cross paths.
