Ben Affleck? Really?

This could be good if it gets him to write the script for Batman vs Superman and to direct future Batman and JL movies

Hopefully Affleck will polish the script and make it better than what Snyder and Goyer will write. He is a solid director and should direct Justice League and a Batman solo film. I would love to see his Batman in the tone of Arkham Asylum. I would love to see a solo batman in that tone. The Nolan version was fine but I would to see a Batman film where we see how good of an detective Batman is and more martial artist. A film like Batman The Animated Series or The Arkham Asylum video games more supernatural and fantasy.

I also think WB should have gotten Josh Brolin, Karl Urban, or Jon Hamm if they wanted an older seasoned Batman.

you know what....IF....they bring back the Joker, which they should...I know who could portray that character perfectly.....

Mark Hamill!

He has been the Joker since 92'.

Touché. I shoulda said Batman is a "Superhero". My point being the part is for a so-called superhero, which Affleck doesn't seem to fit. Batman is a specialist. You call the Justice League to ask for Supe. If he's not around you settle.

There are many things with Ed Hardy's designs on them including a line of human beings that is probably lame as well.

I get you on point 1...LOL on point 2.

That is absolute rubbish. People just pull out figures like 90% out of their ass. In reality most people are always willing to wait and see - it's only the vocal minority who whine about things before they happen.

If whining fanboys had their way

No Beetlejuice Batman
No Song and Dance Man Wolverine
No Brokeback Joker
No Ex Drunk, Ex Junkie Has Been Iron Man
No guy who sucked in Fantastic Four Captain America
No who the hell is Chris Hemsworth Thor
No what the heck is a Hiddleston Loki
No Hulk in Avengers - they just cant do that character on film.
No X-Men First Class because who wants to see young walking Xavier
No Englishman as Supernman

People actually think that the small vocal minority on the internet is indicative of society as a whole and dont actually realise that for the average superhero fan Ben Affleck seems a solid enough choice. He looks the part, can act and is coming off the career best work with Argo. If you went out and asked 100 people in the real world you wont get 90% telling you it's a terrible choice. People might have preferred Hamm, Butler or any of the names bandies about but not all that many of them would be anywhere near as negative about Affleck as some fanboys are.

It would be like someone claiming that 90% of people want to have sex with transsexuals based purely on the opinions of people on this board.

This.

Get ready for the return of the Michael Keaton style of Batman...

These guys are the best at movie reviews. To get to the part where they start talking about the movie skip to time-stamp 4:30. That will skip the "in show" storyline that you wouldn't understand unless you keep up with this show.

Red Letter Media is da bomb, yo!
