Epic. Phail.Side note: My phone autocorrects Batman to Bachmann. You think there is something there?
EDIT: And I don't wanna think about all the rending of teeth and gnashing of garments what would happen if they cast a black dood as Batman.
I think Denzel would make an awesome Batman.
Yes, they both are insane. I think Denzel would make an awesome Batman.
Now your just saying silly things. You might has well say Will Smith or a black face Tom Hanks.

Now that is silly. Why would you do a black face Tom Hanks if you can do a white face Denzel?

No, that's Wayne Brady.
I'll give Affleck the benefit of the doubt. He's surprised me in the past.

It is about talentless hacks playing a black Batman, duh!
We said the same stuff about Michael keaton back in the 80s. "Mr. Mom is Batman?" "Really? Beetlejuice?" And he gave us my favorite Batman portrayal to date.

Why not gono while you're at it? It might surprise us!
Meh. Like I said before, with the Batman costume and the voice affection everyone seems to like it barely matters who plays Batman. Hell, the stuntman is probably more important then whoever gets billed on the poster.
The actor matters when it comes to playing Bruce Wayne. Do we want Giggli Wayne?

I'll give him a chance, but I will never forget, no matter how much I try, his horrible Daredevil movie. Ugh. And is it just me, or is this new Batman just a bit too much, too soon. I mean, there are going to be some really high expecations after the recent trilogy. With Superman versus Batman, whatever happens, I can't help but feel like I'm going to be disappointed.

Pshh. Like anyone gives a crap about those brown people. Ask Hoodsie, he certainly dosen't.

It's Batman playing a part in a Superman movie. Bruce Wayne probably won't be showing up.

That's possible, but I'm betting Bruce Wayne will get a part. Then there is the whole thing about Afleck being much Taller than Cavill. Superman just ins't going to be very impossing when standing next to a giant Batman.

He will. Affleck will make sure that his maskless face his showned for at least 10 minutes during the film. It will be in the contract.

It's not that hard to make people look taller or shorter than they are.
@thread: He'll probably be better than the mediocre crap that was the Bale "growling demon bear" Batman.

Afleck is a bigger star than Cavill. I don't see him letting them do that.

lol wut.
Maybe he should be taller. Batman is supposed to beat Superman.
But part of his victory over Spuerman is meant to emphasise that brain beats brawn. Superman should be more physically imposing.

He doesn't need to, since we all know he is the strongest. The only reason why Batman beats him is because Superman refuses to be super and a lot of BS and deus ex machinas.
This is how it should happen:

You can deny it all you want, but it's the truth. A sad truth, but the truth.
Still, Afleck is washed up; Cavill is a rising star.
While Cavil may be a "rising star," he still has a long way to go before he can get Afleck shortened on screen. So Batman will still be taller than Superman.
I could see it working if, and only if, they got Matt Damon to play Robin.
Here you go.

True enough, I guess.

Pfffft. Based on what? His acting? In the Superman flick most of his acting is him scream "Nooooooo!" four or five times.

Like you need to act well to be a star. I could provide a whole slideshow of examples here, but the bes tone is in the name of the thread.

And they'll all end up in the pr0n industry as they should.

That works, but on second thought, if theyre going more of Dark Knight Returns, they should go with an older actor, Adam West isnt really doing anything now is he?

This is a Batman/Superman thread. If he was [censored]ing anyone, it would be Cavill. And they would do it in costume.
Who is doing what to whom?

So i take that as a "no, Adam West isnt really doing anything now"

It seems he is the announcer of some show called FanAddicts.

I fixed it for you.

I kind of like Ben Afffleck. I think this will be good.

I believe the word for this moment is "pshaw".
Your lack of research in this "take down" shows.
Although I do think Affleck could pull off the apropriate level of intensity, I just don't think he has the right level of physical presence, the oomph, to really physically portray the character. He's too subtle. I mean, in nearly all of his various portrayals over the years (well, outside of the tv series, lol), the one constant is that Batman is absolutely crap-your-pants menacing when he wants to be, and I just don't see Affleck having the physical presence to pull that off. Not because of his size or physical attributes, but because he lacks that magnetism that the others had. Keaton pulled it off because you could tell that the guy was just off in some way (plus the fact that that one played up the comedy of it). Even Clooney displayed both his usual charisma and the sort of near-sociopathic pragmatism that lets a guy consider dispassionately breaking someone's arm or hanging them off a bridge as just another option to consider, even when all they want is for someone to pass the salt. But each of them in their own way brought something large to the character...
Affleck, I just don't see in what way he'd make the character large.
Personally I have no problem with Affleck specifically. But I don't believe he's suited for this at all and I welcome being wrong about that.
Part of the problem with this is an expectation that because he's become "Oscar-worthy" in the eyes of the industry, he is uniquely or specially qualified for the role. It speaks volumes to the "we're doing business" mentality of DC because it doesn't take into account that his "Oscar-worthiness" is derived from dramatic roles and films of an entirely different genre.
Personally, when I watched his Oscar-winning Argo with my wife, we were BORED! We weren't particularly sympathetic with the strife of characters who essentially drank and smoked in fear for their lives through the majority of the film and were underwhelmed at the "suspense" of their climactic boarding of a plane.
IF this is an example of the dull characterization we can expect from Affleck... well to paraphrase the potentially only interesting thing about that film, "Argo **** it!" Man of Steel already has a bad rep for its tone... how could what Affleck's shown us improve on that?
We can be surprised, and I would be HAPPY to be... (in the 80's we were surprised by Keaton. In recent years we were surprised by Ledger.) But that doesn't change that this stinks of executive number crunching and public relations more than it feels like a decision made to create a story and cast it with any conviction that it could stand on its own with out the supposed Box Office Draw of "superstars." Consider the fact that they couldn't even make Cavill a superstar with the opening salvo of (what they initially had NO INTENTION of being) the Cinematic DC Universe.
At least we know DC doesn't fear rebooting anything... so that probably won't take too long.
But then there's the other side of the coin:
It'll likely be "just good enough" in the same way most of the X-men films have been, and perhaps Man of Steel was. It'll make them money, though not likely what they had in mind. It'll heighten their "brand visibility," even if only in a "all press is good press even when it's bad" way. But how much it will satisfy us is HIGHLY questionable at this point. Even with Wonder Woman added to mix. (And word is the Amazons will be a Kryptonian off-shoot race?!?)
In any case continuing to make "business" decisions in place of "creatively inspired" decisions is the core of why DC is failing us... not even just in this instance.
(Arrow, for the most part, has been a rare exception.)
Anyway... this type of thing always gets me going.
TL:DR?
I'll simplify my whole outlook about DC:
Make Mine Marvel.
