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!"

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

    • The future of Samsung's AI-powered education system

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
