wow, next Superman announced...with Batman...(8/22 update, BATMAN CASTING)

[SithSolo1]

This...Affleck stuff is a reboot.

Well they need to reboot the reboot before it boots up.

 

[blankslate]

hm.. could be batman vs superman w/batman getting his hands on krptonite. or making sythetic kryptnie thats doesnt de-power superman too much, hence the above pic of armored batman (note: in the comics, batman lost that fight)

He didn't quite lose he planned to have his fake heart attack drug kick in just after the fight. It happened a little early. He was stomping on Clark pretty much after the Green Arrow delivered the gas form (or finely powdered so that it was easy to make airborn) Kryptonite.

Also Bruce described the effort it took to synthesize the kryptonite. If he wanted to he could've made it fatal to Superman by changing the binding agent so that it stayed in Superman's lungs for a long long time.

WTF happened to JGL taking over?

No kidding

I could get behind him as the director but this dude has never been a good actor in my eyes.

movie DOA now

He was a bad Dare Devil... and he's going to hurt/destroy the Batman franchise....

 

[justoh]

Afleck was the bomb in Phantoms.

 

[tboo]

Afleck was the bomb in Phantoms.

lol

 

[Linux23]

maybe he will bring a Boston accent to the Batman character?

 

[waggy]

oh my..

he is good in some things. But not this..

 

[dennilfloss]

He's gonna Pearl Harbor the Batman franchise.

 

[drbrock]

WTF Ben Affleck. He just does not remind me of a batman. Who knows... I thought he did really well in The Town and the Superman movie he did was decent. def could have been worse. Thank god it was not JGL

 

[KeithTalent]

Do we know who is directing yet? I will wait to judge until I see that.

[Fritzo]

World reaction to chemical weapons in Syria: yeah...that sucks.

World reaction to Ben Affleck getting Batman role: WE'RE OUTRAGED!!!!

 

[Jeffg010]

So why was everyone saying JGL was going to be batman? He is "Mother Fucking" Robin and they should bring him back as Robin. His god damn name was Robin in the movie. If it was any more obvious they would had to stop the movie and say he will not be BATMAN he will be Robin. I still can't believe people even thought he had a chance to be the new batman.

 

[orenero]

Bennifer Fraking Affleck... Le sigh... We shall see.. lol

 

[justoh]

Kevin smith should direct

 

[Red Storm]

Ben Affleck?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

he was good in argo. i don't see how he would become the primary choice for the movie. i would have preferred someone like josh brolin.

 

[fallenangel99]

Well, not a lot of people thought Heath Ledger was going to be good in the Joker role.. and looked how that turned out.

 

[purbeast0]

i like him as an actor in general, but think he is a terrible fit for a super hero. he is not good in action roles in general, especially ones that require over the top action.

 

[fallenangel99]

Do we know who is directing yet? I will wait to judge until I see that.

Still going to be Snyder..

 

[KDOG]

Ben Afleck? BEN AFLECK???

Tra-ves-ty.

 

[Nintendesert]

Ahahahahaha

 

[KeithTalent]

Still going to be Snyder..

Ah this is just for the Superman movie, understood. Surprised they would pick someone over 40 for the role.

I'm sure I'll still end up seeing it.

KT

 

[z1ggy]

I want to here Ben's deep batman voice..Should be funny.

 

[JEDI]

Ah this is just for the Superman movie, understood. Surprised they would pick someone over 40 for the role.

if it follows the comic line, supes vs bats is set in the future.

bruce wayne asks himself what if superman went bad or crazy or is controlled.
he answers by using his $billions$ to create synthetic kryptonite.

in current time comic mythos, superman volunteerily gave bats a shard of real kyrptonite just in case he gets corrupted. but that was several dc comics reboots ago.

 

[Red Storm]

They should have gone with Jim Caviezel or something. Hell I would take Adam West over Ben Affleck!
