i say let affleck suit up.

namix · 08-31-2013, 01:19 AM

i know its the lesser discussed stance... but hey.

The super hero generation is growing up, and i bet he'd take the role pretty seriously.

It's pretty clear, imo at least, that Christian Bale was the best batman to date -- by a long shot to me...

Anyone can be serviceable behind the mask though, and IF Afleck can convince us this aint a romantic comedy early on, I think he could play the "young billionaire baller playboy" better than any of the other bat mans.

annnyone feelin me at all or am i the only one that says fuck it, let him take a shot

namix · 08-31-2013, 01:22 AM

if they didnt jump the shark with val kilmar, than they unquestionably did by clooney...lol

he was aiight in daredevil, but i mean the movie as a whole was aiight -- the more i think about it, the more i think we're not giving him a chance for the wrong reasons lol

Diode · 08-31-2013, 01:26 AM

Ill let them know you're ok with it brb

Wise Wiggles · 08-31-2013, 01:27 AM

He was good in Argo.

Not going to be better at the rich boy Bale part. Sorry.

It'll be interesting.

I give zero fucks about it though so wtf do I know..

Neighbor · 08-31-2013, 01:35 AM

Should've casted Ed Norton

Defy Gravity · 08-31-2013, 01:48 AM

get wasted!!!! Affleck has no choice but to be good

Plot · 08-31-2013, 04:23 AM

I heard they cast Walter White as Lex Luthor,
Apparently its gonna be a Supe/Bats x-over.

Geno · 08-31-2013, 09:40 AM

He fucking sucked as daredevil.
His time to convince me has come and gone. He is Fagitman

veritas · 08-31-2013, 09:58 AM

Movies died in the 90's

God Of War · 08-31-2013, 10:01 AM

Affleck didn't suck as daredevil the fucking script n everything in daredevil sucked ad fleck is a dope actor he played a few gritty characters really well and bale is a daggot and keAton was the best batman

Frank Metts · 08-31-2013, 10:13 AM

Ben is a real good actor when he has a good script ... he can't turn a subpar script into gold though like some other actors

And Christian bale was a good bruce wayne but because he is a rich prick in real life so it wasn't a reach

Keaton will always be mr mom to me ... idk I liked Burton's batmans a lot but not because of keaton

Mike Wrecka · 08-31-2013, 10:18 AM

Affleck is good friends with Kevin Smith . Smith has written a few Batman graphic novels.

id say Affleck is more in touch with the base material than people think

Agreed

Witty · 08-31-2013, 11:48 AM

Why are we judging how Ben Affleck will play Batman based on how he played Daredevil?

They are very different roles, I think the majority of movies he has been in have been good.

Defy Gravity · 08-31-2013, 11:56 AM

i'm judging him off the fact that bale didn't return. Michael Keaton is convinced Affleck can do it

100%.

On the Keaton tip - he will always be his own entity to me, a different category -- I don't think he "acted batman" the best -- but he was the original bar... even as that bar gets cleared through the years, the bar will always be worthy of conversation in its own right.
