The next actor to play Batman is who?

[Fuzzy]

Ben Affleck.

 

[ZRod]

Well that was probably the quickest fall from grace for a movie franchise ever.

 

[NUance]

Nice choice!

If you're turning Batman into a chick-flick.

 

[strigori]

I'll reserve judgement for the moment. He's actually been good in some good movies recently (Argo, The Town) and Snyder's casting has been pretty good overall once you see it on film.

 

[The Dude]

It's the Batman in the Superman sequel, apparently.

Comic book movies aren't going to be as good as they possibly could be, because they are worried about marketing, and making sure that their latest movie will be the theme of a kid's b'day party or on his lunchbox...

Well that was probably the quickest fall from grace for a movie franchise ever.

This is why Marvel will always beat DC on the big screen.

 

[zoogs]

Because they cast Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans?

Affleck seems like a really good choice, actually.

Affleck seems like a really good choice, actually.

Kind of agreeing at the moment.

I saw Daredevil. Terrible movie. Only sexy Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrell as Bullseye made this movie watchable. I think Ben Affleck would be better to start as another superhero, like Doctor Strange or Ant-man, but not Batman. They could have found someone else to play such an important role.

Either two things are gonna happen, Ben is going to have a complete rebound into stardom playing the role of batman, or he is gonna be the worse actor to play the role since Val Kilmer.

I'm a HUGE Daredevil fan........

And I thought the movie was o.k.........considering Daredevil is prob. my fav. comic book character.

With that said, the movie was poorly directed and it could've been A LOT better....IMO.

I wish they would reboot Daredevil....I know they have been trying to.

Count me as not very excited to hear Ben playing Batman........

Clooney was far worse than Kilmer.

Snyder has done a good job with comic based movies. 300 and Watchmen were both adapted from graphic novels. So I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for the time being.

And as a whole, many first looks at castings of superheros have come off as skeptical. Keaton as Batman and Tobey Maguire as Spiderman are a couple good examples off the top of my head.
