Title: Ben Affleck will be the new Batman
Post by: G_Thang on August 22, 2013, 09:51:23 PM
 >:(    When was the last time he made a decent movie?  This is like Val Kilmer II in my book.




Ben Affleck will play Batman in the followup to this summer's "Man of Steel," due in 2015.

Ever since the announcement at Comic-Con that Batman would make an appearance in the the sequel to "Man of Steel" (and Christian Bale's declaration that he wouldn't be donning the cape a fourth time), rumors have been swirling about who would be playing Gotham's vigilante guardian. In a statement today, director Zack Snyder named Affleck the next caped crusader, touting his ability to portray a wizened Dark Knight and affirming that the actor can successfully embody the gravitas and wit of the one and only Bruce Wayne.

"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder wrote. "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. I can't wait to work with him."

Henry Cavill, of course, will be returning as Superman in the yet-to-be-named sequel. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane are also set to reprise their respective roles. You can catch Ben Affleck as Batman when "Man of Steel 2" (or whatever it's called) soars into theaters July 17, 2015.

Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale are all more believable as the millionaire Bruce Wayne.

How in the FUCK did they come to this fucked up decision? LOLOLOL. Are they trying to fail? Assflex as Batman or Bruce Wayne? How are they gonna make a mask large enough to fit that ginormous head. This is garbage and I'm pissed. Fuck, even Clooney would have been a better choice again. I'm not looking forward to this.

Still trying to process this.

Snyder directing Affleck? Goyer on dialogue? That sounds really bad.

Affleck has a good ear for dialogue, but his acting is wooden.

Very scary choice, could go either way.

What could have been...

I believe he will be just as good as anyone else.

Bale wasn't some amazing thespian... He just had a good director and scripts.  (His voices in costume make me cringe to this day)

Affleck will be fine. He's got the right height and stature to stand next to Cavill and he's got a decent look about him for the part.

I wish it had gone to Brolin, but Affleck will be fine.


PS. The Val Kilmer Batman and Batman Forever Movie wasn't bad... Script was ok and acting was worthy... Joel Schumacher ruined it with his Neon Gotham city. I don't think that will be an issue here.

Agree to many of your points. Bale is a very much hyped Batman to be honest.

Keaton was a great Batman to me because he pulled a stellar Bruce Wayne, the troubled millionaire living alone.

That's the real part to Batman, and the challenge to play, not hanging on wires in a costume with a silly growling voice like Bale has.

I agree... Keaton is definitely my favorite "Bruce Wayne / Batman" to date. The suit is also my favorite as well.

A quick update to the cowl to allow him to turn his head and that suit is perfect.

Yes. Batman form 1989 has the best costume.

(http://www.aolcdn.com/photogalleryassets/canadawalletpop/941230/michael-keaton-batman-330a-030209mb.jpg)

Christian Bale costume has gone from organic bat feel to some sort of bionic commando soldier type deal. I don't know where they were going with that ???

The classic Batman logo on the chest is almost entirely wiped out in the costume in the latter movies.

This is easily the coolest looking logo:

I actually avoid films because of Affleck, I never would have thrown his name out there in a million years. Agreed on the 89 batsuit being the best, apart from the black it was closest to the comic design, it was armour but also looked like it could be the physique. Nolans Batman costumes look ridiculous, part power ranger, part kids party outfit

Affleck has had some shitty movies eversince he and matt damon made "good will hunting" which won him an oscar, but lately, he's had success and it seems like he's back on track and I hope he picks his next few projects carefully...."the town" was fucking good and his latest, "Argo" won him his second Oscar.....he's a Great actor and as with any great actors, they just need to work with the right materials

he couldn't articulate his neck in the first outfit. He had to turn his torso around. The Bale versio allows for articulation and more movement--it's for an more active batman.

is true but visually it stomps all over the bale suits, all they need to do is detatch the keaton version from the torso section, something like that.

he couldn't articulate his neck in the first outfit. He had to turn his torso around. The Bale versio allows for articulation and more movement--it's for an more active batman.

Such a bad, bad, bad decision.  Why go after little twink shits?  Batman needs to be a Man, not some clown trying to act manly.  Bale wasn't the best either.  His gruff voice was pathetic, it made me laugh when he talked.  Affleck is just a bad choice.  He will kill the character.  I don't get this choice.  They are turning what should be a dark film into a cookie cutter bullshit film that no one will watch.

This is likely going to be a disaster.  I actually find Ben Affleck a likeable guy.  I don't have a problem with the dude in general but Batman? 

In my opinion there's Michael Keaton and then there is everyone else.  I really like Christian Bale as an actor but his Batman was shit.  Maybe Affleck will be a pleasant surprise.  I doubt it.  I just hope that this Batman isn't the hero that Gotham needs, the hero that Gotham deserves or whatever that bullshit nonsense was in The Dark Knight.   Corny.

Dave Lee was Keaton's fight double for in the '89 and '92 movies. His biggest complaint was that he could barely move in the suits, which were heavy and restricting. Clooney's was the lightest, coolest and most comfortable, but the material showed smudges and scuffs very easily, so they had crew workers on hand with rags and Windex to wipe him off between takes.

Tim Burton probably did that movie better better than anyone could have. The casting choices were superb. Danny Elfman's score was amazing. But, one of his best moves was hiring Anton Furst to design Gotham City and the Batmobile. Warner Brothers was so protective of that car that they had an entire legal team on hand to pursue unauthorized replicas after a set of the original fiberglass molds was stolen from the WB lot. They also made a point to keep the patent active by sporadically using the car in other WB movies and television commercials.

Keaton offered $250 K for the car after completion of the first film, but WB declined. David Copperfield was able to buy "a" Batmobile years later for around $90 K, but it wasn't the one actively used in the films. I believe it may have been a stripped down stunt car, or one used for promotional work; I can't remember.

Then, Joel Shumacher was handed the Batman legacy and fukked it up the asshole as hard as he could in every conceivable way.

I agree... Keaton is definitely my favorite "Bruce Wayne / Batman" to date. The suit is also my favorite as well.

A quick update to the cowl to allow him to turn his head and that suit is perfect.

ditto.  keaton is probably fat and old now, bald too... but he was great as bruce wayne.

Superman I really liked... but the batman flicks went too dark, gritty and "realistic" IMHO. Theyre comic book characters, by their very definition they bend the laws of reality.... so watching a dreary and dragging movie over and over because hes "dark" just got overdone for me. Kill him off, make some Superman flicks. New Supes has potential.

Totally disagree. He is spot on.

Today you have Jason Bourne, Batman even James Bond all striving to be realistic and plausible. Which is fine if the story is written that way.

But movies are essentially reality escapism, and especially superhero movies who stem from lighthearted cartoons shouldn't have to be 100 % realistic.

They'll never be anyway! Superheroes are fantasy artwork in their core so why try to play that off as it could ever exist in our world?

Ryan Gosling.  He could have been Batman. 

 Following the surprise announcement of a Superman/Batman movie at San Diego Comic-Con last month, rumors ran wild as to who would next don the cape and cowl as the Dark Knight.

 One rumor is being reported as "true" by THR: Ryan Gosling. They write Gosling was a studio pick for the role, but Gosling refused it because he does not like sequels

 The studio reached out to Affleck, at an earlier point in time he didn't seem too interested.  After a lot of convincing, he was curious about the idea and thus began conversations of character and story development.  Once his curiosity was satisfied WME took over the negotiation process.  Included in these negotiations is a multi-picture deal (not clear on WHAT movies,) and appearing as Batman in a Justice League movie.  And, he may even direct that movie. 

 It is a surprising move by Affleck, who had recently turned down 20th Century Fox's offer to wear the red suit in a Daredevil re-boot. Chris Nolan reportedly offered Affleck the chance to direct Man of Steel, but he said "no" because he did not desire to be involved in the superhero genre again (despite being a big comic book fan.)

 As for Daredevil, it was 10 years ago. Even Affleck conceded it wasn't his best work. But, people evolve a LOT in 10 years, and he has performed admirably since.  It's like us being held forever accountable today to something we all did when we were 12 years old and still growing.  His recent projects show the growth and development, winning the Oscar for Best Picture in February.   

 The next installment in the Man of Steel franchise, not yet officially titled, has Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/ Superman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane,) Diane Lane (Martha Kent,) and Laurence Fishburne (Perry White) reprising their roles in addition to Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/ Batman. The movie begins production in early 2014 and releases wide in theaters July 17, 2015.

Perhaps not. I think that fantasy/superhero films, like SF films, are a really difficult genre to do 'well.' For every 20 films of said genre, maybe 1 is considered 'solid.' The success/fail ratio is huge. For every Blade Runner/2001 there are 00's of just pure crap flicks.   :-\

Ben Affleck will play Batman in the followup to this summer's "Man of Steel," due in 2015.

Ever since the announcement at Comic-Con that Batman would make an appearance in the the sequel to "Man of Steel" (and Christian Bale's declaration that he wouldn't be donning the cape a fourth time), rumors have been swirling about who would be playing Gotham's vigilante guardian. In a statement today, director Zack Snyder named Affleck the next caped crusader, touting his ability to portray a wizened Dark Knight and affirming that the actor can successfully embody the gravitas and wit of the one and only Bruce Wayne.

"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder wrote. "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. I can't wait to work with him."

Henry Cavill, of course, will be returning as Superman in the yet-to-be-named sequel. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane are also set to reprise their respective roles. You can catch Ben Affleck as Batman when "Man of Steel 2" (or whatever it's called) soars into theaters July 17, 2015.

Here’s What The BATMAN/SUPERMAN Film Could Look Like…

With the burning fury of one thousand imploding Kryptonian suns, the Internet descended upon the news that Ben Affleck will be playing Batman like a school of piranhas in a kiddie pool. While many of you were seething with rage, enterprising filmmakers like YouTube’s SoylentBrak1 were creating mock trailers to give us a sense of just what it would be like to see Mr. Affleck as Bats, Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor, and, of course, Henry Cavill as Superman once again. Judging by this fan-made teaser trailer, I have to say the results aren’t half bad. Now, it’s just up to David Goyer to write a monologue half as good as anything that’s come out of Walter White’s mouth in the last five seasons of Breaking Bad.

Batfleck Broken Down

Ben Affleck has been announced as the new Batman. And the internet has fallen over. The choice to make the Oscar-winner the successor to Christian Bale in Zack Snyder’s Batman/Superman combo seems to be one of the more divisive casting decisions of the last decade. Not since Daniel Craig became Bond has there been so much huffing and declaration that a film would definitely be terrible. But is Affleck such a poor choice? There are strong arguments on both sides...

He did an amazing job and many people think his "Batman / Bruce Wayne" was the best so far... I am one of them.

Would you support him with a good makeup / hair dye job as a return?

Could he pull it off?

I mean, he is really getting up there, but if hollywood does their job in the makeup department, he could make it work.

Think about how much younger Harrison ford looks in movies compared to his interviews on Leno or whatever.

He did an amazing job and many people think his "Batman / Bruce Wayne" was the best so far... I am one of them.

Would you support him with a good makeup / hair dye job as a return?

Could he pull it off?

I mean, he is really getting up there, but if hollywood does their job in the makeup department, he could make it work.

Think about how much younger Harrison ford looks in movies compared to his interviews on Leno or whatever.

Superman/Batman Film Will Shoot In Detroit
The new home of Metropolis and Gotham. Gothtropolis?

Though there was a thought that Zack Snyder would be returning to Vancouver and its environs (a favourite shooting haunt of his) to film the Superman/Batman crossover-flavoured Man Of Steel sequel, Canada will have to manage without the last son of Krypton and Gotham’s Caped Crusader: they’re off to Michigan.

In an announcement from the Michigan Film Office, picked up by Coming Soon’s Bat-web radar, the superhero mash-up, lured by tax incentives, will film in and around Detroit. Which means that both Metropolis and, presumably, Gotham will both be played on screen by a city that has recently declared bankruptcy. Hopefully Bruce Wayne’s billions will be a welcome cash injection.

“Detroit is a great example of a quintessential American city, and I know it will make the perfect backdrop for our movie,” says Snyder. “Detroit and the entire state of Michigan have been fantastic collaborators, and we are looking forward to working together on this film.”

With the title still undecided, we do know the film will feature returning Steel workers Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane, joined by Ben Affleck, who, as you may have heard (and read via the virtual gnashing of teeth and rending of garments online), is playing Bats. It’s scheduled to kick off production early next year for a July 17, 2015 release date in the US (and possibly here, though there has been no official word on that).

Affleck is only partly to blame for Daredevil. Blame Mark Steven Johnson - dickhead director who blew his fanboy wad and couldn't control his excesses on that film, and also blame the studio for fucking around with the production of Daredevil.

Having said that, I'm not leaping out my skin at the thought of him as Batman. If they really want an old grizzled Batman, they should get  someone like Alec Baldwin to play the part. Stacey Keach would have been perfect 10 years ago or so as the Dark Knight Returns Batman too, I always thought.

And me to the list of Michael Keaton fans - his Batman was great.

From this pick I would have brought him as Wayne.  But they are looking 10 yrs down the road and several movies like Wolverine, which I really don't like.   Anyway, he'll look 70 in that time.  I'm cool with Affleck, who has improved his acting chops.  Lets see what happens as this progresses.  I think they will put a lot of material out to get the early buzz like Avengers (another one I hated) got and rolled to 1B at the box office.

Today’s MIFV comes from Nerdist’s own You Made It Weird host Pete Holmes and his Pete Holmes Show coming up on TBS: Pete reprises his role as “Batman”/Badman and trash talks Superman, which a Justice League movie could do well to take notes from.

>:(    When was the last time he made a decent movie?  This is like Val Kilmer II in my book.




Ben Affleck will play Batman in the followup to this summer's "Man of Steel," due in 2015.

Ever since the announcement at Comic-Con that Batman would make an appearance in the the sequel to "Man of Steel" (and Christian Bale's declaration that he wouldn't be donning the cape a fourth time), rumors have been swirling about who would be playing Gotham's vigilante guardian. In a statement today, director Zack Snyder named Affleck the next caped crusader, touting his ability to portray a wizened Dark Knight and affirming that the actor can successfully embody the gravitas and wit of the one and only Bruce Wayne.

"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder wrote. "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. I can't wait to work with him."

Henry Cavill, of course, will be returning as Superman in the yet-to-be-named sequel. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane are also set to reprise their respective roles. You can catch Ben Affleck as Batman when "Man of Steel 2" (or whatever it's called) soars into theaters July 17, 2015.

I think Ben will do better then val Kilmer. Bens last few movies were Argo and the town wich he wrote both and were good movies,Ben affleck has wrote and acted in some great movies. I don't like Him much either but you seemk to be a real obvious hater on anybody doing well, you must live a miserable existent!just admit the guy has way more talent then you and gets way more pussy then you. You hate on everybody! I have seen and heard it over and over. I don't care much about alot of the people you hate on but you really come across as a major hater and what is it you do? just hate! You should be the winner of the player haters ball! Hate,Hate,Hate.

Is this all Hollywood does anymore, teenage superhero/robot/fantasy CGI movies? Shit, creativity died in the 90s, both cinematically and musically. Fuck Batman, Nolan made two great films and a turd. Let it die with the turd. Affleck has proven to be a brilliant director, so why not focus on that and leave this rehashed comic book horse shit alone?

He's set to direct Dennis Lehane's "Live by Night" next. I wish he'd just forget about acting and get this one on film already, it's a great book. Jeeze, Ben, come on. Fuck.

Work on a big film and rub elbows with the stars

Well, we don’t really know if you’ll be able to rub elbows with the stars of Batman vs Superman. Warner Bros may have delayed production’s start date, as well as the release date, but it is still full steam ahead as they prepare for a highly anticipated moving teaming the giants of DC Comics up on the big screen for the first time ever.

The types of positions a person may apply for, while not specifically listed, are:
•Makeup Artists
•Hair Stylists
•Camera Operators
•Grips
•Security
•Wardrobe Handlers
•NOTE: This is NOT for extras casting. That will be announced at a later time.

Interested candidates, with relevant work experience, should email professional resumes

I believe he will be just as good as anyone else.

Bale wasn't some amazing thespian... He just had a good director and scripts.  (His voices in costume make me cringe to this day)
Affleck will be fine. He's got the right height and stature to stand next to Cavill and he's got a decent look about him for the part.

I wish it had gone to Brolin, but Affleck will be fine.


PS. The Val Kilmer Batman and Batman Forever Movie wasn't bad... Script was ok and acting was worthy... Joel Schumacher ruined it with his Neon Gotham city. I don't think that will be an issue here.

In both candid and the official first look at Ben Affleck as Batman for the in-production Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we have seen a bulkier Ben, and some big pectoral development.  Previously Ben had been working with Rehan Jalali for Batman preparations, but at some point things shifted to a new training crew.

According to THR, Ben has signed on with Bostonian and first cousin to Matt Damon (Ben’s good buddy,) Jamie Damon. Along with Jamie Damon and Ben’s main “sweat sergeant,” Walter Norton Jr, they have been working him out and getting body mass up both in L.A. and on location in Detroit.

The trainers are from the Institute of Performance Fitness, located in North Reading, Mass, which is outside of the Boston area. According to their website, they aren’t Hollywood trainers, but specialize in athletic training with expertise in conditioning, movement, and speed of athletic performance with some of the world’s elite competitors.

http://www.nerdist.com/2014/05/is-charlie-cox-marvels-daredevil/

Charlie Cox is Marvel’s Daredevil

UPDATE: Variety has confirmed this as true. Charlie Cox will play Daredevil in the upcoming series.

The Marvel news train has apparently become the “villain” from Tony Scott’s Unstoppable as it continues to barrel down the tracks of internet insanity. It began last Friday when it was announced that Edgar Wright had left the Ant-Man film he’d been developing for nearly eight years, an announcement that was later followed up with rumors that the director left the project over various re-writes that were made to the original script created with Joe Cornish. The train then rolled through Saturday when it was revealed Drew Goddard was stepping down from the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Daredevil to focus his attention on Sony’s Sinister Six. In his place, fellow Whedon-school alum Steven S. DeKnight (Spartacus) took over as showrunner. Now, in relation to Daredevil, a new rumor comes courtesy of the folks over at Latino-Review.

There’s been much speculation over who would play the man without fear, the most high-profile name in the mix being Michael C. Hall, who’s on the hunt for a new project now that Dexter is over. Today, the outlet reports Boardwalk Empire’s Charlie Cox is the frontrunner to play the blind superhero. El Mayimbe does state in his report the news is currently unconfirmed but comes from a trustworthy enough source to post.

Without knowing the tone Marvel Television is going for, it’s hard to say if Cox is the right choice for the part, but he definitely fits the Marvel bill of not having a major break-out roll yet, despite having an extensive body of work. Honestly, at this point, when it comes to casting we should just let Marvel do its thing because they haven’t screwed up once so far on that front.

Josh Brolin to Play Thanos in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

Has Marvel found its Mad Titan? Latino Review is reporting and Variety has confirmed that No Country For Old Men star Josh Brolin has been cast as Thanos for Guardians of the Galaxy.

According to the report, Thanos – teased in the first Avengers post-credits sequence – has a third-act scene involving a rocket throne. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds like just the kind of grandiose thing that a purple god obsessed with death might tool around on.

Brolin, last seen in Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy, would make for an interesting Thanos. He’s definitely got the bass in his voice as well as enough swagger to bring to the part should any motion capture be needed. If the rumor is true, this would make two big screen comic roles for Brolin in 2014 alongside his part as Dwight in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For from director Robert Rodriguez.

At this point, we’ve all be assuming that Thanos will be the villain of Avengers 3, which can’t be too far off the mark given how Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The First Avenger have teased cosmic artifacts that could potentially end up on a hypothetical Infinity Gauntlet. For those of you not familiar with that particular piece of reality-altering bling, the Gauntlet is a glove containing six gems which give the wearer control of all creation. During the mid-90s Infinity Gauntlet event, Thanos, set on impressing the personification of Death, set out to collect the Infinity Gems and wipe out have of creation for his skeletal love.

Since the Avengers sting, we haven’t seen anything from the character and footage for Guardians of the Galaxy up to this point have positioned Lee Pace’s Ronan the Accuser as the main heavy in that film (although Marvel has confirmed Thanos would make an appearance in some way). With this casting Thanos could be making himself known in a bigger way throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward.

Exactly, he nailed the voice and even though he wasn't big which didn't matter because of the suit he had that presence. His eyes and expression in the cowl piss all over what any of the others did.
Bale is vastly overrated. Id say it goes keaton, kilmer, bale, clooney.

Thanos is CGI, so they could cast the guy who did voice overs for Godzilla. BTW, Brolin's last couple of movies have been trash, so he may not have been a good fit for Batman.

I on the other hand, have neither Jen Garner, nor hundreds of millions.

However, we both share a secret disdain for Matt Damon. I'm leveraging this shared malcontent to plot a coup to replace Matt Damon with me in all future movies. Only Jimmy Kimmel and I know about it right now, but he's putting me in touch with Affleck's people. We'll see how it goes. I suspect it'll go as planned.

She says Jen gets out of shape and very mom-ish in between work, Ben drinks beer, watches sports, laughs at his farts, and really is good friends with Matt Damon... etc.

http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/06/10/daredevil-vincent-donofrio/

'Daredevil' scoop: Vincent D'Onofrio cast as major villain

Vincent D’Onofrio is the new Kingpin.

Marvel TV has cast the acclaimed actor in Daredevil, its 13-episode super-hero series for Netflix.

D’Onofrio (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Men in Black) will play Wilson Fisk, “a powerful businessman whose interests in the future of Hell’s Kitchen will bring him into conflict with the blind attorney Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil.” Previously we announced that Boardwalk Empire alum Charlie Cox will play the Murdock/Daredevil in the show.

With the launch of Daredevil next year, Marvel will have at least three television shows on the air, including ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD and the upcoming Captain America spin-off Agent Carter, which ABC plans to launch in midseason.

http://championsofbreakfast.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/fatman-500x370.jpg


According to some reports, Ben Affleck is not loving the batsuit he is forced to use for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The Oscar winner actor-director needs help from several assistants to remove and put back on the cumbersome suit.

But if the reports are true, is Batfleck acting like a diva? After all, he is part of a multimillion franchise here and he did join the cast willingly. For fans who were vehemently opposed to Affleck’s casting in the first place, this sounds like a lot of whining.

Of course, Ben Affleck is playing a new version of the Caped Crusader — big shoes to fill in the absence of Christian Bale, who played the character in the Dark Knight trilogy — in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman. On May 13, the director shared a teaser of what the batsuit looks like this time around.

    — ZackSnyder (@ZackSnyder) May 13, 2014

According to Metro, Affleck is finding the suit incredibly restrictive and is struggling with coming to terms about how it feels to wear it on a daily basis. Insiders told the Daily Mail that he is has trouble breathing while wearing the batsuit.

    “The suit is extremely restrictive. Ben finds it hard to perform basic tasks and struggles to look natural. He’s constantly trying to avoid going to the toilet because it’s such an ordeal.”

Taking off and putting on the batsuit reportedly takes about 30 minutes, so it’s a chore. It’s also probably very hot in Detroit right now since they are in the middle of summer. But Affleck is not the only one wearing a heavy, hot suit for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Henry Cavill, who plays Superman, wears a similar costume and did so graciously for Man of Steel.

No desire what so ever to see Ben attempt this roll, he is a douche and who ever thought this might be a good idea probably has downs.

Obviously no one chose him, he chose it.  After winning the Oscar for Argo he was able to write his own tickets in Hollywood.  probably thought he'd be great in the role and called the producer and said "shalome, put me in the lead role".

 Keaton was the first to bring the character to life in a big budget hollywood movie and people had their ideal in mind.
 Affleck failed miserably with his portrayal of a lesser superhero character in daredevil and from his past movies there's nothing bruce wayne/batman in him unlike say brolin who fits the bill obviously.

The only problem with those 2 Batman movies was Joel Schumacher... The campy Batman style had gone out back in the 70s and him trying to bring it back screwed the franchise.

I don't get the need for a batman vs. superman movie in the first place.  This is not a precursor to the JL so it's kind of lame.  At least have Superman fight Doomsday or Darkseid before bringing in Batman.  The producers should have fought hard for Bale just for some consistency.  Is Affleck even going to do the JL movies?  Having Lex be the villain.  Yawn.  So tired of it.

Kilmer was the best bruce wayne, because he can pull off the charming rich prick alter ego of batman.

Keaton, was a pro at being the mysterious man behind the mask, although looked like shit in the suit and was too modest to be bruce wayne.

Bale just got down the idea that to be batman you must be fanatically obsessed in your mission. One of the best scenes in the trilogy is where he's seen holding a glass of wine at a party and dumps it as soon as he gets a chance, that kind of detail really shows the work it takes to be two men at once.

None of those mentioned were anything descent in the suit, there all to short. To be a convincing dude you need to be in the big suit, something short actors cant ware without looking stocky. Batman should have a almost bain like presence in terms of his body.

If ben isn't a flop, it'll be because he stays in the suit. He got the suit look down and might pull off the idea that he is physically menacing.

Guys, this is The Dark Knight Returns. ::)

I have to figure some money is being thrown Frank Miller's way because they are making (or stealing) his comic. :o

Even Affleck's batsuit is right out of the comic with the small bat ears.

The problem is that not every comic can be transferred to film. Trust me when I say that this is one of them.

Even in the comic realm this is an ELSEWORLD tale. That means it never really happened in the comic reality. It's not canon.

Now it is understandable to want to make a comic featuring DC Comics two biggest stars, but they simply should have crafted an original tale, something that could lead to the eventual JLA movie that we all know is coming.

All they had to do was have Lex Luthor doing something bad in Gotham City. That's all you need for Batman and Superman to meet and work together. Instead, WB is trying to make a movie out of a comic not suited to be a major motion picture.

Throw in Affleck as Batman and you have an epic disaster on the way. ::)

The person I feel bad for is Cavill. Man of Steel was bad. That's why they are doing this instead of giving Batman a breather for a while. They don't have faith in another solo Superman film.

this doesn't make sense because they won't have 5 calendar years with the moves marvel is making.  the problem is, MOS' next villian would have to be another powerhouse. if doomdays showed up on earth as a kryptonian killer, how does superman get away with a battle but we never see the other heros of earth?  therefore, you have to introduce the other characters now.  the world engine should have drawn them (esp the powerhouse ones like wonder woman, shazam (the rock), etc) out in the first movie but they got away with that.  and no one wants to see Superman vs Lex Luther again.  DC is making the right moves with other hero cameos.  

it also makes it easier to do crossovers when they start doing their  solo projects.  btw, they are planing another solo MOS movie.

i would have concerns if DC had a popcorn universe like Marvel.  Affleck can't play goof roles that Marvel require. DC is dark with basic acting and action based on physics of sort.  I love it.

I had some connections at WB when Nolan was making his trilogy.

Trust me. WB wasn't too happy with Man of Steel's final box office numbers or it's tepid (at best) reviews.

They had to bring Batman back.

You think they want Batman back on the big screen with Gotham playing on television? Nope.

WB was going to cancel Smallville back in the day just to be able to make J.J. Abrams Superman train wreck called Flyby. It raised holy hell.

They don't want the characters appearing in two different mediums simultaneously.

Also, don't expect Shazam in the JLA movie.

It's going to be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow (CW kid), Flash (The kid from new CW show. That's why its being done.), Aquaman (Affleck's gay lover Damon), Cyborg, and maybe Green Lantern. But they will go with the black Green Lantern. They will not bring Ryan Reynolds back.

No Martian Manhunter. No Shazam.

The point is to use TDKR, an Elseworld tale to bring Superman and Batman together is the wrong approach. It's a big problem right off before we even get to the casting of Affleck.

See, these Hollywood studio heads and producers live in a bubble. They know him, see him about town, at parties, etc.

They think the public likes Affleck. They don't.

But their egos won't let them admit it was a blunder. They won't cut their loses. They just trudge straight ahead.

This is a guy who won the Razzie for playing Daredevil for cryin' out loud. He can't play Batman.  


And don't forget that there was a time long before Disney bought Marvel that WB had the chance to make a JLA movie.

The director of the Mad Max trilogy, George Miller, wanted to do it. WB turned him down flat. They said it was too tough to pull off, too costly. Also, the rumor that Nolan didn't want Bale being put in the film was out there.

Then Disney developed their three phases project and the rest was history. WB was caught with their pants down.

Their Aquaman pilot (Mercy Reef) wasn't picked up.
Their Wonder Woman pilot wasn't picked up.
Green Lantern bombed.
Man of Steel underperformed.

...And here we are.

I had some connections at WB when Nolan was making his trilogy.

Trust me. WB wasn't too happy with Man of Steel's final box office numbers or it's tepid (at best) reviews.

They had to bring Batman back.

You think they want Batman back on the big screen with Gotham playing on television? Nope.

WB was going to cancel Smallville back in the day just to be able to make J.J. Abrams Superman train wreck called Flyby. It raised holy hell.

They don't want the characters appearing in two different mediums simultaneously.

Also, don't expect Shazam in the JLA movie.

It's going to be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow (CW kid), Flash (The kid from new CW show. That's why its being done.), Aquaman (Affleck's gay lover Damon), Cyborg, and maybe Green Lantern. But they will go with the black Green Lantern. They will not bring Ryan Reynolds back.

No Martian Manhunter. No Shazam.



Ummm no, they already cast Jason Mamoa as Aquaman.  About time this guy gets a super hero role but aquaman seems like a strange choice.  he would be a good cyborg

Aquaman works, is a bit of a stereotype because of the Pacific Island connection, but I don't see him fitting anywhere else.  He'd be worst than Ryan Reynolds if he was cyborg.  They got a Broadway actor to play that role which is a good choice.

 

Their Aquaman pilot (Mercy Reef) wasn't picked up.
Their Wonder Woman pilot wasn't picked up.
Green Lantern bombed.
Man of Steel underperformed.

...And here we are.

The problem is that they're still doing it wrong.

Even Marvel TV stuff sucked.  Isn't Arrow a DC character?  I don't watch but I'm guessing.

Green Lantern is the PRIME example why DC needs to stay away from Marvel's popcorn kiddie universe.  The new Lantern will be John Stewart who is a better and more serious fit.

MOS' box office 700M is almost equal to the Amazing Spiderman 750M.  Also MOS had an uphill climb with Return of Superman hanging on its' shoulders while Spiderman was ridding Marvel wave of popcorn.  

Again, you can't do a MOS II with Marvel so far out in front.  They needed a vehicle to introduce characters.  B v S is the right vehicle at the right time.  

Lastly, Marvel's properties are spread over multiple studios vs all of DC's stuff is in-house (one studio).  That makes it difficult to put out 3-4 movies a year.   Most of Marvel's stuff is shit so I'm glad DC isnt spread out.

Stupid how the new Avengers will have QuickSilver and Witch but not make them Magneto's kids and cast a different actor to play QS that they did in XMen.  They keep chaning the back stories too much.  I wonder when they'll make the black Captain America movie or latino spiderman film.  When they flop in the theaters they'll realize how much people hated it.

That's an unconfirmed rumor. Don't believe Variety. It's moron central over there. Plus, they got it from HitFix. ::)

Aquaman will not be in BvS. It's Damon's solo film first.

Oh, I agree with you about the approach. I'm more of a DC guy myself. But look at Snyder's history. You can even see it in the leaked footage from Comic-Con. The over the top bat signal with an overdone switch that sparks up. Believe me, their approach is going to be pure popcorn.

Wrong director.
Wrong actor.
Wrong stolen story.

Three strikes.

Again, you can't do a MOS II with Marvel so far out in front.  They needed a vehicle to introduce characters.  B v S is the right vehicle at the right time.

I still don't think this is the way to do it.

Yes, Disney would love to get Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-Men back. No doubts there. They just had to take on the contracts that Disney had made with Fox (FF,X-Men) and Columbia/Sony (Spidey).

The point is to use TDKR, an Elseworld tale to bring Superman and Batman together is the wrong approach. It's a big problem right off before we even get to the casting of Affleck.

See, these Hollywood studio heads and producers live in a bubble. They know him, see him about town, at parties, etc.

They think the public likes Affleck. They don't.

But their egos won't let them admit it was a blunder. They won't cut their loses. They just trudge straight ahead.

This is a guy who won the Razzie for playing Daredevil for cryin' out loud. He can't play Batman.  


And don't forget that there was a time long before Disney bought Marvel that WB had the chance to make a JLA movie.

The director of the Mad Max trilogy, George Miller, wanted to do it. WB turned him down flat. They said it was too tough to pull off, too costly. Also, the rumor that Nolan didn't want Bale being put in the film was out there.

Then Disney developed their three phases project and the rest was history. WB was caught with their pants down.

Their Aquaman pilot (Mercy Reef) wasn't picked up.
Their Wonder Woman pilot wasn't picked up.
Green Lantern bombed.
Man of Steel underperformed.

...And here we are.

The problem is that they're still doing it wrong.

George Millers Justice League was actually in the final stages of preproduction.
Sets built,
Miller had cast Arnie Hammer as Batman from memory.
Megan Gale as wonderwomen would have made a really great & smokin hot successor to Linda Carter.
I am really liking the new mad max trailer in other George Miller news

Dwayne Johnson Officially Set For Shazam
He'll play Black Adam

He’s been dancing around the DC Comics cinematic universe for years now, dropping coy hints about possible roles and films he’d like to tackle. Finally, Dwayne Johnson has made it official, making a deal to play the villain-turned-antihero Black Adam in a Shazam film.

Warner Bros. has hired Darren Lemke to write the script for the film, with Johnson attached to star. Shazam focuses on Billy Batson, who can become the hero known as Captain Marvel by saying the word, “Shazam!” which grants him the powers of six mythological gods.

Johnson’s character, Black Adam, has long been the nemesis for the hero, but in recent comics, he’s been on a path to change his nature and make amends for his past. And that would seem to be the embryonic film’s angle, as hinted at in Johnson’s tweet about the role today.
Of course, it’s early days and with Lemke only just kicking off work, no director is attached and no schedule has been set for the movie. But the news also gives credence to word of Warner Bros. registering a batch of new domain names.

As for when Shazam will make its appearance? That’s still up in the air. But Warners has a lot of release dates to fill and having Johnson locked in for one of the movies helps figure out one of them…

(esp the powerhouse ones like wonder woman, shazam (the rock), etc) out in the first movie but they got away with that.

I'm surprise they were able to grab dwayne walker who will be a sick Shazam or Black Adam.

Dwayne Walker is a great actor and i love his work (Bananas and Grapefruits in the Mist, The White Towel Terror etc) but they will use Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock as Black Adam.

It's going to be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow (CW kid), Flash (The kid from new CW show. That's why its being done.), Aquaman (Affleck's gay lover Damon), Cyborg, and maybe Green Lantern. But they will go with the black Green Lantern.  

Nope, Momoa as Aquaman and The Rock as Black Adam.

There's a sadomasochistic side to superman.  In almost all of his "epic" fights, he could have easily just flung any of his opponents into the Sun.  But it seems he just likes to fight, get hit and battle.  If his job numero uno is to protect earth and anyone that threatens mankind the why is he so reluctant to even kill a nasty subspecies?  He wants them around.  He loves the attention and brutality.  He's like a beaten wife who sticks with her husband.

Just found out keaton is ready to return and play older batman anytime. Shame the studio didn't go with their original idea a couple of years ago and bring him back for the proper dark knight returns adaption

God, the Batman cowl and Batsuit look like absolute shit.  It looks even more absurd than the Christian Bale suit.  I know they were going for a Frank Miller "Dark Knight Returns" look, but this looks like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.  Affleck looks worse than those fat ass cosplayers that run around at San Diego comic Con.

Superman looks awesome........except for his hairline.

I think the costume itself is great, but look at the body above that's filling it. Christian Bale was Bruce Wayne right out of the comics, and the same could have been said for his Batman if he had that suit around when he filmed Begins.

An older Batman would be thickened all over with a more strongman look. What he sacrifices in youthful agility and speed he makes up for with greater bone-breaking strength. It's in keeping with how reality would play out this fictitious character.

I know.  The difference is that in "The Dark Knight Returns" Batman looked awesome.  This Batman looks like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.

Against all odds they found a way to make Batman's mask look even more retarded than it did in Christopher Nolan's Bat-movies.  I actually prefer that stupid fucking dog mask to this one.

Affleck looks great as Batman, the suit is perfect. It's not a young Batman here, it's more in line with The Dark Knight Returns.
Mask is great, much better than the bulbous mask Bale used.

Still, he could have had a tighter waistline and struck a pose of cancer.

It's strange that Batman is old and fat and slow but also the precursor to the JL where he is younger and more fit.  Seems the timelines are crossed in a bad way.
I did see the DC special on TV and wasn't aware that Lex was rebranded in recent comics as younger with long red hair.  So Jewensberg is playing the role in the recent comics.  I guess us old school comic fans need to let go of our old heroes since today's heroes are metrosexual versions of their old alpha selves.

DC is pretty good casting close to the source material.  The only "F" up to date is balloon costume Shazam, which he should have had him in the weight room like Cavall and the Rock.
