Ben Affleck is the next Batman

[Brunodf]

Variety is reporting (http://variety.com/2013/film/news/ben-affleck-is-the-new-batman-1200586881/) that Ben Affleck will be the new Batman. The news, reportedly coming straight from Warner Bros., means that he'll be starring opposite Henry Cavill in the 2015 Batman / Superman (http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/20/4541304/superman-batman-warner-bros-2015) movie. Affleck has gained critical recognition for his more recent work — especially with Argo — but Batman lovers will have to block out any memories of Affleck's Daredevil they haven't managed to burn away in an indignant fire of righteous comic fan anger.

The Wrap (http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/ben-affleck-set-play-batman-man-steel-sequel-112801) quotes Warner Bros. president Greg Silverman, who says "We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics’ most enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some." Zack Snyder, who will direct the film, says of Affleck: "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne."

[The Reckoning]

they need to stop casting affleck and ryan reynolds. that's a destined box office bomb. idiots.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Bad move for sure.. I think Bale turned down a significant amount to re-sign..

[DisAsTerBot]

pretty much everyone who has been cast as batman has been met with tons of criticism. I'll wait and see but I think he could be a great old, gritty batman.

[Blake]

Awful choice. About as bad as Anne Hathaway was.

I like Affleck but Batman? No.

right. like Gary Busey


but as to Batman, I thought better choices would have been either Jason Schwartzman or Michael Imperioli.

the actors are scapegoats to shitty directing and writing. Think about Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth... you really think those two are better actors than Reynolds and Affleck? They're in the same class at worst.

I think he just got out of jail this year. He'll probably do a cameo on expendables to let people know he's out of prison.

Forget Wonder Woman. There needs to be a Supergirl reboot to help erase that 80s flop.

Here's hoping to Seyfried to land that role. :tu

[Trill Clinton]

naw, he's out. he's going to be in expendables 3.

I like Chris Evans, personally. Take him over Reynolds anyday. I also think if they were going with an older Batman someone in their middle ages would have been a better choice than Affleck.

At least they should choose someone with muscles to take that role imho. The past several batmans have been just too thin, like they always got the Robin guy to act in the batman role. Batman ought to be swole like the familiar one we saw in cartoons when we were kids.

Hard to say for me. Reynolds had Deadpool's personality down pretty well before the writers royally fucked that up... At least he did his homework. I don't have anything against all 4 of them personally. Affleck is responsible for some good shit as a director... haven't seen Argo though. The other 3 are solid, not-anything-special actors who make pretty faces for the big screen imo.

Didn't know Batman was suppose to be older for this film. Maybe they'll give him the Benjamin Button treatment... which would be a stupid waste of money to spend when you could just cast an older dude.

I always felt like Bruce Wayne Batman should exist in a generation before Superman. Have something along the lines of a Batman Beyond arc existing during Superman's timeline so that the power disparity wasn't so huge.

[mingus]

Awful choice. About as bad as Anne Hathaway was.

You thought AH was a bad choice? Why?

[lefty]

OP is late to the party

[Blake]

If Tom Cruise were about a foot taller, I'd say he'd make a pretty cool Bruce.

[Blake]

You thought AH was a bad choice? Why?

Just too nerdy and unathletic to be a down and dirty karate kicking Catwoman, imo.

She's also one of those sometimes she looks hot, sometimes she's not type of chicks.

[J.T.]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of this either... but Affleck was the BOMB in Phantoms.

[Death In June]

I remember reading that it was going to be an actor from the Teen Wolf series. This is also a bad choice.

[HI-FI]

problem with Hollywood is so many are scared to take a chance, so whenever there is a successful formula (ie comic book movies) everyone runs that shit into the ground.

tbh though everyone thought it was lame as fuck when heath ledger was selected as the joker

[Thebesteva]

The only entertaining thing with Batman and Superman....this was made only like 10 months ago and is prolly 100000 x better than the shitty movie coming out


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GRG57PNdpg

[J.T.]

And since I didn't read the first page until now, some thoughts.

Ryan Reynolds sucks because he can't act himself out of the Van Wilder persona if you paid him millions of dollars. I know this because he is paid millions of dollars to star in movies and they all seem like bizarre spin offs of Van Wilder, like if Van graduated college and then went on to work for Sandra Bullock and marries her so he doesn't get fired so she doesn't get deported. He reminds me a lot of Sean William Scott. That guy is going to ride his Steve Stiffler persona till the day he dies.

Chris Evans has come a long way since Not Another Teen Movie. He wasn't good in Fantastic 4 because those come from the same era of Hollywood Super Hero Hell as Daredevil. I actually thought it was unfair for him to get cast as Captain America after already playing the Human Torch because realistically you shouldn't be allowed to double dip on super hero roles, but he does Cap about as good as Downey Jr. does Tony Stark. Good role for him and about the only thing that gives me hope about Affleck's Batman.

I'm not THAT worried about Affleck as Batman. This movie with Superman is clearly just a cash grab for an inevitable Justice League movie. Solo Batman and JLA Batman ain't the same ballpark. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same fucking sport. I'm a lot more worried about Affleck as Bruce Wayne than I am about Affleck as the Batman.

[SA210]

i read they are also making van damn kickboxer and bloodsport reboots

:pctoss

[crc21209]

tbh though everyone thought it was lame as fuck when heath ledger was selected as the joker

Count me as one of those people. That is why I will withhold my judgement until I see the movie. I was pissed/confused as to how Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker. The same Ledger who was in Brokeback Mountain? But damn, he surprised the hell out of all of us and did a damn great job....

[Spursfan092120]

tbh I think he'll do ok. He's a good actor, director, and a decent writer. He's done the Superhero thing before. If he gets into good shape, he should be fine.

[Spurs da champs]

This blows, Bale was the best Batman I've ever seen. Affleck couldn't even play a low tier (in comparison to Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, etc) Daredevil very well. What the hell makes anybody think he can play one of the most iconic Super heroes ever?

[Rogue]

I'm a long time Tom Cruise fan and he's the one actor that I most want to co-star with my goddess in a film, they're both new yorkers and their sizes perfectly match each other. Mission impossible was their first chance, but goddess had to decline it due to cast conflict. But Tom is too old to make a good batman imho. Chris Evans would've been an ideal actor for the batman role had he not been known as captain america, dude's swole and relatively young, knowing how to act and having good fighting skills.

[UZER]

Well at least we can hope all the backlash and criticism will fuel affleck to really bring his A game.....unlike Manu

[Spursfan092120]

Seems legit

[ace3g]

Not exactly the same but Bryan Cranston extended his acting range when he took on Breaking Bad.

[HI-FI]

The worst is that it sounds Affleck is already signed to multiple films. This whole thing seems rushed, from MOS 2 going into production soon to casting the new Batman. Supposedly Affleck was hired because Jeff Rubinov, a longtime exec with WB and friend to Affleck was fired, so they were doing everything to keep Affleck with WB. Typical Hollywood move.

To be fair, I think Affleck won't be a total shitfest, I think at best he'll be passable, but it's very possible he's worse than Clooney.

Also people keep bringing up Keaton and Ledger, but I remember as a kid being excited about Keaton because I had already knew he was good in different types of films, still not sure Affleck is that good of an actor. Also I remember thinking Ledger was an interesting choice because not only did I trust in Nolan, but Ledger had just taken shit to another level in Buttfuck Mountain. Both of those actors were against type, but Affleck already did Daredevil and he wasn't that believable in it.

I'm sure he'll be better in this, but I don't think he'll own the role like Keaton or Bale imo.

[DAF86]

Blame me


That's my problem. It's very hard to concentrate on the movie when the main character talks like that.

Bale also is kind of "slim faced" and when I think of Batman/Bruce Wayne I think of this:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X1toO5C5Jg4/SPER1nMjUvI/AAAAAAAAAO4/GK9r1pCYegw/s320/bruce+wayne.jpg

I think Ben Affleck would do a good Batman/Bruce Wayne.


http://images.wikia.com/doblaje/es/images/9/94/Ben_Affleck.jpg

Though I did clarify that:


I never watched Daredevil. Either way instead of saying "Affleck would do a good Batman" I should have said "Affleck is the closest (looks wise) to comic Batman/Bruce Wayne".

[vander]

tbh both Bale and Nolan were extremely overrated in their Batman roles

nothing against Bale though, he's a pretty good actor.

I never read any Batman comics, but IMO the way Cage did that main Big Daddy scene in Kick-Ass, that's how I want to see Batman played. kinda stiff, straight to the point, throwing people down like it's a tedious exercise...

[lefty]

Just too nerdy and unathletic to be a down and dirty karate kicking Catwoman, imo.

[mingus]

I think Affleck as Batman is an absolute joke. But I think that when they decide to reboot Batman again the shittiness of the Affleck Batmans will probably make people more excited for it. That's what the Kilmer & Clooney Batmans did for me anyway.

[Venti Quattro]

Wasn't Daredevil enough?

[jack sommerset]

Bale's Batman voice was kind of annoying. I think Affleck is perfect for the role. God bless

Don't really know why it matters who plays batman. This previous batman trilogy was powered by the villains anyway

um no not just the villains

Bale did an amazing job at showing the different layers of Bruce/Batsy

[The Reckoning]

batman begins was by and far the best movie of the trilogy for showing the bat's layers

the other two movies were villain powered, imo with the last one relating back to the first one for character development.

[Michael Jordan.]

Don't really know why it matters who plays batman. This previous batman trilogy was powered by the villains anyway

Oh it matters. George Clooney, after Keaton was great, Clooney killed it. Val Kilmer did too but at least he was better than Clooney. And :lol Chris O'donnell as Robin.

Liking the new suit. I think it's based on The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

I'll always be convinced that Watchmen should have been a10 episode mini series on HBO. That would have given the story the space it needed to breathe.

What is up with the suits all being too damn dark?

[djohn2oo8]

Warner Bros. and DC starts off San Diego Comic-Con Friday withBatman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Zack Snyder revealed the first 20-second teaser trailer for the superhero movie. It starts off on a rainy night in Gotham with Batman emerging from the shadows wearing Bat-Armor and dusting off the Bat-Signal. He turns it on, after years of being off. As the Bat logo hits the sky, Superman flies in looking down on Batman. Superman eyes glow red looking down at Batman. Batman looks up with his glowing white eyes from the Bat-Armor. The trailer ends with the Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice logo

http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/07/26/sdcc-2014-batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-footage-recap-2141158?lt_source=external,manual#!bnba3Z

Release the damn teaser!

[ChumpDumper]

So it looks like they are using Dark Knight Returns for the barebones basis of this. Making a late-life Elseworlds story the origin of a JLA franchise is, well, good luck to them. DC rebooted its universe like what, three times? They really can't use any of the comic origin stories of the JLA because they haven't even introduced any character here besides Superdude. Now at least four other lead character superheroes are just going to show up after no mention of any of them in MoS.

Man DC is a total mess when it comes to movies. They look extremely solid on TV, but this movie could be a dumpster fire. I wonder if they end up killing five times as many innocent people as they did in MoS.

[Pauly D]

What is up with the suits all being too damn dark?

Could you seriously imagine the classic WW bright red and blue suit? Especially with the high waist diaper bottom that Lynda Carter sported? I'm sure it'll have a little more color than this pic

And damn she looks fucking good btw

[Thebesteva]

First of all, regardless of how you feel about Affleck being Batman, the entire movie in all probability should be shit.

It hasnt even been more than 2 years since the dark knight rises, it takes at least 5-10 years off to reboot a film. I understand that this is an entirely different premise of an older Batman (like Frank Millers batman) v Superman, however its just too soon.

Second of all, they have fucking killed it with Batman, which happens to be my favorite superhero. You just had Frank Millers The Dark Knight returns a year ago, now the new show Gotham, and Batman V Superman.

The superman movie itself was extremely subpar at best despite the fact that the guy who played Superman did a great job.

[AaronY]

The movie was pretty awful all the way through, although it got laugh-out-loud stupid during the scene where the terraforming ship's gravity is sucking up huge chunks of concrete from the ground, yet 90 lb lois lane somehow evades the laws of physics and keeps falling to the earth and conveniently into Superman's arms.
Plus the past where Superman's dad was riding a dinosaur Avatar style. That part was short but brutally, brutally fuckin horrible.

[AaronY]

In a way it made the rest of that shitfest a little more tolerable tho to me. Cuz I was like "Oh, were gonna be riding flying dinosaurs. Its that kind of movie, huh." Then I wasn't let down as much by the rest of the loud nonsensical crap like tornadocide or ruining the lois/Clark relationship by having her know who is right from the start

Everyone should be cheering for Batman after the shitshow that was Man of Steel.

Everyone should be cheering for batman anyway. It's fucking batman

Armored suit. Looks badass no lie.

I wonder if Frank Miller will get royalty checks because its exactly this costume, and this was actually a good movie for a cartoon

Yeah. D.C. is quite strong in tv and animated films. I don't know why they can't get their movie ish together.

Miller has to get some money off this. The only question is how bats will deliver the kryptonite.

That's Batman when he is old and retired. That's his armor needed to beat superman.

Ok so the story of this is that Batman is like 50-60 years now. He doesnt have what he once did, and he needs this suit to still be batman. Superman is his friend but kind of betrays him for the President and the US. That robin chick thing is kinda too complicated to get into but shes not robin, robin is dead and she does that to inspire Batman to return.

Honestly, if you can download the torrent, the two part film of Dark Knight Returns was surprisingly awesome.

Val Kilmer was decent. Plus prime Nicole Kidman :tu

[jeebus]

Meh. Don't care for this superman since man of steel was a piece of shit and ruined that actor for me.

[RsxPiimp]

I have to say, that is one fucking epic trailer. DC ain't fucking around when they say their stuff is a lot more darker than Marvel and so far, they're staying true to their words. Maybe I'm a bit burned out by Cap and the Avengers, but I'm far more excited about this one than any Marvel release until Black Panther and Infinity War comes out. And that Batsuit :worthy:

[crc21209]

I agree...EPIC fucking trailer! Can't wait to see it in good quality and in person.

[crc21209]

"Tell me...do you bleed? You will!" -Batman

[ChumpDumper]

I'll watch this if only to see how much of The Dark Knight Returns material it uses. It would be very interesting if they try to put some version of Carrie Kelley in there,with all that would imply for Batman's other sidekicks.

I don't know how the hell all the other heroes are going to fit into this other than the godlike ones coming out of the woodwork to take notice of the alien that destroys cities. It will be easy enough to retcon a building falling on Vic Stone during the Kal/Zod battle in MoS to facilitate his origin

[djohn2oo8]

I like the dark tone of the movie. Should be a good watch.

[jeebus]

Pretty much all of the Batmans are of darker tone, or at least try to be. Unless it was the 60s series, it was all moody and "dark".

[Blake]

Clooney's Batman with the laser light shows was as corny as the 60s show.

Kilmer tried to be somber and dark but Jim Carrey's Saturday morning cartoon Riddler blew it

[ohmwrecker]

Yeah... The Schumacher Batman movies were not dark at all.

[ChumpDumper]

The Schumacher era was a dark time for cinema and our lives in general.

[Avante]

Just like James Bond once they start having a dozen different ones, it fucks it up.

Yeah they should have just stuck with the Adam West Batman for 50 years. Those painted on eyebrows would have struck fear into Bane's heat.

I don't care if he's been dead for 15 years.

[Avante]

Yeah they should have just stuck with the Adam West Batman for 50 years. Those painted on eyebrows would have struck fear into Bane's heat.

A comic books hero who ages as he should, hmmmmm? Good point!

As the years go by he can't jump as high, run as fast, he grabs the wrong gizmo out of is belt, he can't remember shit, hmmmm?

[ChumpDumper]

lame and thoughtless point for a few reasons. First, Affleck has become infinitely better since 2003. Second, Batman and Superman are a lot easier material to use than Daredevil. Third, as mediocre as he is, Snyder is way better than what's-his-face that did DD and Elektra and Ghost Rider.

WE WILL SEE

[UZER]

just my opinion but I don't think the "you will" part is actually after the "do you bleed" question. It's just sounds out of place. Movie trailers do this all the time where they splice quotes to have a bigger impact.

[lefty]

The batsuit looks great tbh

[Blake]

So who actually said "do you bleed?"

I guess we're to assume it's Batman talking to Supes?

[RsxPiimp]

That's batman talking to Wonder Woman as he plows her 10 inches deep^

It looks like they spliced in footage from different movies featuring Wonder Woman and Luthor.

Yeah hardcore comic fans generally hated MOS. It wasn't terrible. DC's problem has been horrible casting and writing. No way in hell could Ryan Reynolds have made that Green Lantern movie work, but he will probably kill it as deadpool.

If Lex Luthor can be a credible Superman foe, why can't Batman?

[hitmanyr2k]

Batman is played out. Warner Bros has milked his character to death the last 25 years since he seems to be their only successful cash cow. They've rebooted Superman twice with mixed results and the rest of the DC characters they tried went down in flames. I thought Man of Steel was terrible so I'm not all that excited for this movie especially since they gave Zach Snyder the reins to direct.

[TDMVPDPOY]

superman is okay...just the villains and that same fkn wankr luther as an enemy doesnt make sense....

batman jealous of superman or some bitter shit not saving his family....

He never was IMO only Doomsday was the legit superman foe.

Furthermore, do WE REALLY NEED TO SEE BRUCE WAYNE'S PARENTS KILLED FOR THE 7TH TIME
It's getting so old. I'd rather see Will Smith say "Welcome to Gotham" in Suicide Squad after punching a bad guy than another bruce wayne origin scene.

My wife said exactly this. "Does every batman movie have to show why he's batman?"

Also, did anyone notice a quick flash during the suicide squad trailer which shows a end from wolf of wall street. The one where Margot Robbie is telling Leo de caprio that she won't fuck him

[djohn2oo8]

“Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday,” says Sue Kroll, President Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures said the following in a statement: “We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation.”

[ace3g]

Comic Con exclusive footage concept was dumb to begin with. Oh we are ok showing this "unfinished" footage to the crowd aka first round of word of mouth, but don't want to show it to outside world...

Studios are finally getting it by releasing the footage online 5-10 minutes later.

You will get a lot less bootleg versions, if they know it will be online soon.
