Henry Cavill Out As Superman / Affleck Out As Batman
« on: September 12, 2018, 02:14:20 PM »
Due to lower than expected ticket sales on the last movie....or in order to make room for a Supergirl movie or for Michael B. Jordan as black Superman?

Aren't things getting a bit out of hand with the need to make a new "hip" superhero movie every year?

I think they are casting a black guy in the next James Bond movie.

I don't watch any of this shit.  It's little kid crap.  The same goes for star wars.  I must be in the minority with this as these comic book movies just keep getting made over and over again.

Yeah I saw that too.If they did that with any black roles like shaft it would cause all sorts of problems.

I don't like that idea at all. Superman has always been white (I was a huge Christopher Reeve fan). This isn't a racist rant, moreso me wondering why they can't stay true to the comics.

What's next?

Make Wolverine Chinese?

Make professor X Puerto Rican?

Make Storm a Russian?

Cavill embodied the look and presentation that best depicted Superman.

Affleck sucked in my opinion. Christian Bale can certainly be offered more money, as he was great in my opinion. That said, I don't think Batman can be played by Native American. I guess fucking with the original comics sounds like a bad idea.

He’ll reprise his role in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Sequel.

I enjoyed that one.  I am still a big fan of Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent/Superman.  To me, his portrayal was the best ever.

Cavill was good in Mission Impossible 5. Maybe he just wants out of the role, kind of like Michael Keaton didn’t want to do Batman anymore. Affleck was just a bad choice for Batman from go. Bale was great.

I don't understand the criticism on Michael Jordan as Superman?

He was great in Space Jam, he is a worthy successor of Kal-Els mantle.

A lot of these actors don’t want to be type cast, even though it may be the biggest role that they have played. Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig come to mind. Not to mention that certain roles, like the super hero or action ones are very physically demanding and require one to be in shape—-something that the average actor/actress doesn’t really have the stomach for.

I enjoyed that one.  I am still a big fan of Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent/Superman.  To me, his portrayal was the best ever.  
I did too. And actually it almost had an “American James Bond” vibe to it.

Michael B Jordan is overrated , sure they can find a better actor for these parts than him

All in all there are too many superhero movies, no creativity, but of course it brings in lots of money

Any black/non-white inhabiting the role of a white character is a guarantee Fortress will never watch it.

Ever.

I remember as a kid reading Michael Keaton got $5 million for Non-Batman roles an $8 million for Batman roles and couldn't figure out why he didn't keep doing Batman, although now as an adult I understand.  Kinda.

Adam West is only known as “Batman”. Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, William Shatner as Capt. James Kirk. You get the picture. You get put in a box, and more than likely only certain roles come your way.

Cavill's out because he wanted too much money to reprise the role.

Simple economics.

Actors who can play Supey are a dime a dozen.

Name some actors who can play Supey beside Tommy Wiseau, Shaq and Michael Spacejam Jordan.
