Batman/Superman Movie

[Jelux Da Casual]

If he can't do Daredevil justice, why would he be any better as Batman.?

Everybody is harping of him for DD, but it's easy to blame an actor when the entire movie was just a bad movie to begin with. That's not his fault anymore than Ryan being a bad GL, GL was a terrible movie overall too. That's not Clooneys fault for being a bad Barman either, B&R was a terrible movie. Same with Brandon and Superman, Superman Returns was, ahem.... WROOOOOONG!

See what I mean? If the movie itself is bad, casting even the most top-tier actors won't make a difference. Star Wars epis 1-3 anyone? It has some great actors, but lets be honest, those films are bad.

Look, he's not an idiot (don't make fun of what I just said). If he made a mistake, he won't do it again.

See, that right there furthers my point. Even if the movies were crap (Superman Returns/GL) I still saw/believed Bradon as Superman and Ryan as GL. It had nothing to do with their acting. When I saw Affleck as Daredevil, I didn't believe him as the character. I literally just saw Affleck wearing a DD costume, he wasn't believable. That's a lack of acting ability, not the script or anything else.

..huh.?

And Bale was? I can honestly say I never once believed that Bale was batman (or Bruce Wayne as well). In all the movies it was just bale in a Batman's costume saying stuff in a silly voice, or in a fancy suit trying to do his best Bruce Wayne impression.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Plus given all the flack he gets as Daredevil, I give him some faith he probably knows enough to not make the same mistakes twice

Yes, Bale was a great Batman. You can argue you didn't like him and you have your opinions, which is fine. You can't disregard that millions loved him in that role and clearly the trilogy was a huge success for a reason (him being one of them).

Plus, I don't get why people complain so much about his voice when he's Batman. Given, I didn't like it at first either but he HAS to disguise his voice. What can you really expect.? Him to speak normally and someone to go "Hey, I know that voice."?

[SanjiSasuke]

Honestly at first I hated this, but I will give him a chance. I thought DD was alright, but that was awhile ago, I can't judge it as critically as I I'd like to. I do remember thinking he was very mysterious/dark/creepy. I guess the only 2 things he needs are toughness and athletic ability (or at least exude an air that he has it). Then I actually think he COULD be decent. But this is all up in the air.

This. The DD being a bad movie has nothing to do with Ben's bad acting in the part and as said being DD is not that big of a jump from being batman.

Now I will say since then Ben has become a much better actor and a good director so that could be a plus and I understand that they do need a big name for Batman to get people in the seats but I just can't wrap my head around why he was picked over someone like Josh Brolin or Jon ham since they seem to want to go with DKR story line(I hate that they are doing this). I will give him a chance because I want this movie to be a success to we can get other DC movies and a Justice League.


Here's to hoping

Go back and watch some clips of Batman in Batman Begins. That Batman voice was just fine and different enough from his Bruce Wayne voice. That is why people complain about his voice in Dark Knight and Rises.

[.Batzarro.]

I'm honestly fine with his voice, just a matter of opinion. Bane is the one that needed his voice fixed some. A couple of times while listening to him I really needed subtitles, sad to say.

[Thaknight33]

This movie will fail. Ben Afleck as the dark knight is so garbage. No way he can preform the martial arts scenes he will need a great stunt double. This sucks so bad. My favorite hero will be ruined again. First Clooney now this

So.......... you're saying that the Nolan Trilogy had great fight scenes?

[Thaknight33]

Nolan trilogy had the best in batman movies so far but they could of been way better. I wasnt a fun of the quick camera angles where you couldnt see batman really fighting. But Afleck come on, no way he is going to do the bat ANY justice. He might be a decent bruce wayne but i doubt that.

Right, because Batman movies have sooooo much martial art action in them...

Who do you think knows more about picking actors for roles, people at Hollywood or immature people who go to Twitter, make petitions and websites just because they don't like the actor that was chosen.

Neither.

I'm going to provide a third option: talent agencies.

[guy-zero32k4]

EWWW...

"Hey Matt, be in my new movie, we're awesome!!!"
Because Hollywood knows better?  No thank you...

Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor(reportedly).


Hmmmmm I can dig it depending on what the storyline does with the character.

[ELECTRO]

Just watch this scene and realize why people are upset with the choice for him as Batman.  I know it's the writers and directors fault but Ben should have known from reading the script that this was going to be a bad flick. It almost looks like a joke of some kind.

[Arkady]

a bad flick

haha a batfleck

[Jelux Da Casual]

It was also TEN YEARS AGO!

No Man, clearly we must judge everyone from the 1 or 2 bad things they did and never the good things they did.

Come on guys, Affleck is no Nicholas cage, you should at least give him a chance before shouting "WORST BATMAN EVERRRRR!!!!"

At least Nic Cage is enjoyably bad so you can get a kick out of his bad movies

I say YES 
I can definitely see Cranston pull off Luthor

Actually I think he will be the best Batman ever because Zack Snyder will make him look great in those action shots. All i'm trying to get at is that he has already been a Super-Hero and it was bad. So it's a rotten choice to cast him when there's thousands of other actors to choose from. It's not as rotten as casting Jamie Foxx to play a blue skinned Electro, but still bad. With all that being said i'm still pumped about seeing this movie

[PR_1030]

I read some comments on that Lex Luthor article. People are saying it's fake, and I haven't seen it on Yahoo yet. (Don't make fun of me because I use Yahoo. Almost all of the news I get is from there, including movies and video games)
