I love the outrage over this. If Ben had any self-respect he'd refuse to do it at this point xD

 

Its crazy the outrage with this news, I mean his career has been on the upswing and maybe he could surprise us. However we all are left with the taste of Daredevil as well as his acting/movies from stuff prior to The Town and Argo. Also the change from Christian Bale is quite big and sudden and would imagine that many would love to see one more Bale move especially with the new Superman actor.

It's not really sudden that they're changing the actor. Christian Bale had already stated he'd stop after The Dark Knight Rises was done. Also, the Daredevil flop wasn't his fault. Ben Affleck just isn't suited for the role of Batman. He doesn't even look like a Bruce Wayne to begin with. Jeffrey Dean Morgan would've been a much better pick for an older Batman.

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...

This pretty much sums up what I've been doing and I fully agree.

Affleck was a ****ing spokesperson and model for L'Oreal. I think that's all I need to say.

Considering the universal disdain for this decision, anyone else think that he'll drop out? I mean, they could easily use the excuse that there was a scheduling conflict to ease the embarrassment of "NO ONE WANTED YOU!"

Time to introduce batgirl again!  :P   Or Batwoman but last I checked she's a lesbian, not that I have a problem with it but who knows what the studio thinks.

Oh **** no.  How can those hollywood grass****ers tempt us with this movie after all these years, and then completely **** us.  Sweet balls Snyder, what happened?

 

This is NOT the girl.

Wow. Like I said before, I can't really see Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne but why all the hate? It's not like he's gonna ruin the role or anything. He is a decent actor after all. Plus do you really think the studio(s) involved really wanted to spend $50 million to bring back Bale? Probably not.

I don't like him for Batman, he has this little quirck when he acts, like the ones that Brad Pitt, or Nicolas Cage, that remind me he's not acting anymore.

 

But at this point we don't have a say in the matter, we will wait and see if his acting would negatively affect the movie.

The internet went so far that they decided to make a petition to ask Obama to make it illegal for Affleck to get casted as Bruce Wayne/Batman :s

Edit: Oh, I see Rappy has actually posted that :p

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone

      By Nas · Posted

      I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
