Holy Superhero comeback try! :upsidedow

Plenty of other stiffs have donned the mask. Why not? :winkwink:

Same director as the last Batman flick, and many same cast, so this should be interesting/stupid. :1orglaugh

:batman

ADG

i wish they would go with a no name

This is all over my Twitter timeline too. Blah. He's not a good actor, and superhero movies are just money grabs anyway.

Hopefully he doesn't growl and grunt his way through the movie like Christian Bale did

Wonder if "Kevin Smith" is behind any of this.

That is what I thought when they announced Heath ledger was playing joker. Boy was I wrong.

No but he Tweeted that he has seen Batman naked.

He'd do better with that rather than being given actual words to say.

I have enjoyed his directing efforts I had hoped he would focus on that.

I'm a big View Askew fan too so I can't hate him but at least in that universe we all agree we like him despite his wooden acting.

how many batman movies can they drag out?

I thought he was good in The Town. I really think he can act when he wants to and isn't just mailing it in. Then again I'm one of the few Kevin Smith fans that actually liked Jersey Girl...

I'm the other one....Jersey Girl got excessively harsh reviews because of the whole Bennifer thing of the time. It wasn't perfect but it was Smith's attempt to grow up a bit and he got his hand smacked. Which is probably why he has been stuck in Jay and Bob era since then.

hopefuly he does good

Damn, i was hoping for Danny DeVito!

I've been puking all over my Facebook about this today, so I may as well puke some here on GFY, too!
That's the shittiest casting I have EVER heard for Batman!

Don't hold your breath!

Aw man this sucks.

this sucks!!!

At least its not ashton Kutcher. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I allready know that it will be the worst batman movie ever.

In warner brothers "man of steel" sequel. Ok. Remember when heath ledger was cast as the joker? Worst joker yet amirite?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i hate superhero holywood last 10 years

ohh my god... the affleck is back

i agree 100%. You can look at it like the hundreds of talent shows on tv over the past 10 years. It all feels like a rerun, a vicious cycle of the same shit all the time - and millions of people keep watching. Braindead idiots.

Way to kick ass with the character FINALLY, then throw it away.

Before I read your post, I was thinking, they couldn't pick a worse Batman than Ben Affleck. But you're right, Ashton Kutcher would be the bottom of the barrel.

But look at the bright side, at least it's not Samuel L. Jackson or Ice Cube.

He won't be any worse than Val Kilmer or George Clooney or Christian Bale.


Let's not forget that Man of Steel was a shitty movie. The sequel will be no better.

I think it's time we retire the term 'flick' it's not 1920 anymore, it's digital, nothing is flicking, shit it's not even film anymore.


oh and affleck as batman is fuckin terrible, he can pull off some things in movies, action star is not one of them.

i liked him as o'bannion

Matt Damon as Robin.
Robin Williams as Alfred.
Jennifer Lopez's ass as Gotham City...

Still a better choice then Clooney

breaking news.

When the news first hit my Facebook feed last night I thought it was a joke, I thought it was from The Onion or something

Boy was I disappointed when I found out it was actually real... :error

hollywood must have a software algo to calculate out these sorts of things for blockbusters, plug in all the #s to get the required bottomline and the actors are named that can contribute to that. i gotta believe affleck's name rose to the top due to argo because i just can't see how studio execs would come up with this.

they need some spidie sense to root out an unknown to play batman, just like they did with spiderman.

He's a huge comic geek. I am sure he campaigned for the chance to be Batman. You can't really blame him. Though whoever agreed, perhaps.

In addition, it made the internet blow up and get the movie a ton of press. I bet a bunch of people go for car crash reasons.

Excuse me while I kill myself. May as well have picked Prince to play Batman.


Cripes.
