I think it's time they just bring in Kevin Conroy to dub the batman voice in these movies.  :P   Batman aside, now that I think about it a bit I think Affleck can do a good Wayne, he's got the playboy side down for sure imo.

He's still meant to be older that Superman in this movie :) This also mean he has had a few pupils along his side, so... Nightwing movie? Anyone?

About this Batman casting though, I'd like to keep my judgement until I have seen some footage but if I'd HAD to say something about it than it would be: "What the balls!". But that would be the same as when I read that Heath Ledger was going to play the Joker. I want to be positive about it but currently I can't, lol. Ben Affleck doesn't look like Bruce Wayne at all nor do I see him as a Batman :/

Also, the reason that Daredevil flopped wasn't Affleck's fault but the writers/directors. I mean, Colin Farrell's Bullseye sucked as well and his film career is still a success story. There's no reason to judge this based on a film that's been made 10 years ago, imo.

 

I would usually feel the same, especially after ledger and the dark knight, however i don't think ive ever seen a film or hint of a performance from Ben that would suggest he's any good for a role like this. His domain is definitely chick flicks.

 

This could be the beginning of the end, i think i would have rather they continued with some kind of dark wing / robin as batman thing with JGL in the role, i thought the end of DK rises set it up well. 

 

I hope whatever superman and batman thing is it doesn't affect or stop the JGL story arc left by DKR.

I bet you meant Nightwing since Dark Wing isn't a thing, unless you meant Dark Wing Duck of course! I don't think his domain is necessarily chick flick, but I don't think it's Batman either.

And stopped The Dark Knight trilogy stopped with "The Dark Knight Rises". So I think it's safe to say that the JGL story arc has ended there as well. The way I saw the ending of The Dark Knight Rises is that they opted for an open ending to leave things up to imagination by the fans. Nolan already stated many times that he was making a trilogy and would stop after Rises. And to be honest, I'd much rather see a Nightwing movie with Dick Grayson as Nightwing and not Drake/Robin. Of course, Dick Grayson was the first Robin, but changing the Nightwing character like that just to keep the ending Rises linked with it would be wrong, imo.

I'd be more afraid that the Justice League films might not lift off the ground if this movie flops.

Why not just pick Matt Damon then, geez. I don't mind Affleck but he just doesn't look like someone who could pull off Batman. Also, he'd have to buff up, but then again alot of actors do that for roles so who knows in the end.

I guess I am one of the only ones that had no problem with Daredevil....

Don't feel bad, I'm the only one here who saw Reindeer Games. Hell, I had to be, cause if people had known what I was referring to, I'd got a little chuckle outta Someone!

Bale was a good character and the movies where good in their way.

Though I'm not sure I would call them Batman movies... Especially not the first. He didn't want to play the role any more anyway. And while I at this point cant say if Afleck is going to be good or not, I do want a more proper batman movie.

Ok, I've had some time to sit here and process the information. It isn't that I consider Ben Affleck to be a bad actor, I just can't see him playing Bruce Wayne/Batman effectively. There's something about him...

I like Ben Affleck, and I do rate him as an actor, but I don't think he's cut out for Batman.  I'd say the only thing he's got going for him is a defined jawline!

 

Saying that, I was skeptical over Bale as Batman, even though he is definitely a good character actor, I wasn't sure if I'd find him convincing.

Ben Affleck? No. <INSERT MEME HERE> 

 

Also does this mean his buddy Damon is going to be Nightwing?

 

 

 

Keaton, Conway followed by Bale.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
