So Ben Affleck is going to play Batman

[CracceR]

im sure snyder knows what hes doing, i wanna see his vision for batman

with affleck or without, iont care

 

[young_belvi]

I just can't see Ben pulling off a great batman, hell I saw what he did to Daredevil. I guess it could be worse, they could have got ol wise cracking arse Ryan Reynolds. I kinda like his acting, but dude just goes over the top with the sarcasm and jokes.

Heath Ledger was a better joker then Jack Nicholson. I will reserve judgement, but when did Affleck become a good actor?

Never! People convince themselves that he's a good actor because he's putting himself in good movies he's directing. I sat through Argo thinking to myself this is a good movie, but would be alot better with a different lead. Affleck has the acting chops of a 2x4. Don't believe the hype!!! Good director, but still not a good actor and unlike Ledger he won't be proving anybody wrong.

And to the dude that said he got a good performance out of Blake Lively gtfoh!!! Bitch was overacting. The only reason he kept her on was because she was his jumpoff behind the scenes.

Tommy Wisseau in The Room is overacting. Shatner's "KHAAAAAN!!" is overacting. What Blake Lively did was play a convincing junkie slut. Maybe because she is one in real life? I don't know but it's easily the highlight of her career. Ben Affleck didn't direct one below average performance in that entire movie. That's my point. He's a much more balanced director than Snyder that way. Snyder gets at least one or 2 mediocre performances even from great actors. Look at how dull Amy Adams' Lois Lane was and she's one of the best actresses in hollywood today.

Remember his career turnaround happened only after he started directing movies, even up until now it's never been because of his acting. When's the last time he gave an above average performance in anything? A good director doesn't equal a good actor...ask Tarantino.

Watch Hollywoodland. To call his performance as George Reeves less than average is just straight up hating if you really know anything about good acting.

I'm not even the biggest fan of the guy (never really had a problem with him either) but some of the overreactions to this news are just hilarious. He may not be Daniel Day Lewis but the guy is a serviceable actor and a much better actor today than he was 10 years ago. Then again some of you niggas as well as many other people on the net wanted to see CW TV actors as Batman so this doesn't really surprise me.

I think its an interesting choice. My only issue is that he has already portrayed both Daredevil and Superman in the past. I'm tired of this trend of the same actor playing multiple different Superheroes.

Chris Evans as both The Human Torch AND Captain America...

Ryan Reynolds as both Deadpool AND The Green Lantern...

Halle Berry as both Storm AND Catwoman...

You get one shot, let someone else have a turn.

I'll reserve my judgement until I see the trailer. Folks was up in arms when Heath Ledger got casted to play the Joker (me included.

How did that turn out again?

Heath Ledger is actually a good actor though ...when was the last time you were impressed by a Ben Affleck performance ?

 

[IamNumberOne]

[A$AP_A$TON]

I wonder how many heart attacks this news was responsible for within the past 24 hours?

 

[marc123]

[Maximus Rex]

Can a 5' 6" nigga play The Batman? If you say no, why not?

 

[Broddie]

I remember a 5'9 guy did just fine. Even came up with one of the most iconic lines in Batman media while he was at it.

 

[earth two superman]

I swear, the internet is acting like they unburied pauly shore and made him Batman.
