Man of Steel sequel to feature Batman (and others) (2016)


Recommended Posts

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!"

So which one do you want over Affleck?

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

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
    • I'm using Windows 11 Pro 25H2 on "ancient" hardware, too: - Core i7 3770K - GTX 1050 2GB - 16GB DDR3 1333 MT/s It runs flawlessly, not a single issue. I also have it on other ancient setups, but I don't remember the exact specs right now (Intel 4th. generation).
