Yeah but the film is nonsense anyway. I keep reading how Batman and Superman team the two superheroes together for the first time.... Batman is not a superhero!!!!

I just hope this doesn't in some way tarnish the legacy of Nolan's excellent Batman trilogy!

That's the worst choice ever, they could've gave the part to a new exciting actor or somebody better suited to proper action.

Not a batman fan at all, but don't see why hes such a bad choice ? see people bitchin but no reason why ? didn't people say heath ledger was a bad pick for the joker ???

The Dogs B******s

Agree

the roles are different. playing the joker lets the actor really ham it up and have a bit of fun whereas there is a certain something required for the bruce wayne/batman role. christian bale had it for sure and although considered a funny choice at the time michael keaton played him well for the style of that batman film which had an element of comedy to it. maybe he will pull out a performance who knows.

Why so serious....

It'll be like Brookside all over, the first superhero gay kiss

The Dogs B******s

Shhhhhshhh, don't mention the gay word, the gays will come out, sh*t, they already did.

tony de wonderful

Or the batsuit should have rubber nipples and a bulging crotch piece.

northern monkey sti

not serious at all could not give a Shiite, as said not a batman fan or comic book hero fan at all. just wonder why people bitch but don't back it up with anything ? I don't think he's a bad actor and I can see him pulling it off.

northern monkey sti

that was by no means a gay metaphor.

Affleck to replace Bale. This Football transfer window is getting a little out of hand.

EddScott

Thought they wanted someone older. Josh Brolin would have been a good choice.

I'll hold back till I see the film.

With the last batman films they made with C.Bale they got the concept of how batman should of been from the start,before those other joke of a batman films that they made before.Ben Affleck has some massive shoes to fill,I just personally don't think he can can fill them,but will just have to wait and see.SJ.

I can't see it following the trend of the last Batman films. It doesn't matter if your a fan of superheroes or comics, the film was realistic (even with a chap dressed like a bat) and had moral and human issues.
Superman is just never going to have any serious emotion to it.

Think Heath Ledger wasn't brilliant as the joker, really played the part well.
As for Affleck as the new batman, think it's going to ****e, the ones with Bale pretty much captured the comics in my opinion

Jamz3k

Lets not dance around the subject Ben Alfeck is a **** actor that seems to have attended the Keanu Reeves School of Acting but unlike Keanu, he's an unlikeable turd.

I've heard mixed reports about the latest Superman, so I don't have much faith in this one being good.

Fair summary, he was **** in the film where he was a blind super hero. The new superman in my opinion is very good, maybe should have split it with more dedicated to krypton then the rest in another. Seen it twice now as got a card that lets me go to the cinema as much as I want and enjoyed it more the second time

CrisPDuk

Hope they get Kevin Smith to direct the new film

He seems to be the only one who can get anything approaching a decent performance out of him

Brun

I like BA but i just can't see him holding a candle to Bale's performance. Sill gutted that Nolan won't be doing a number 4

tony de wonderful

I dunno about that, the last one with the fight between Batman and Bane, two supposed world class martial artists throwing wild and telegraphed haymakers at each other, Batman grunting like a clinical case of constipation, Bane lifts Batman up by his neck and Batman still talks? It was kind of entertaining I suppose but not exactly realistic, but I know what you mean because they tried to give Batman a bit of complexity but then the Burton era films did the same IMHO and Batman returns is really good. The Nolan Batman films are a little overrated I think in retrospect, the middle one is only really good cos of Heath Ledger's Joker. The first is ok but the last one is a muddle and didn't fulfil it's potential.
