Ben Affleck as The Dark Knight?

I will be very surprised if that goes well. I’m going to rewatch Gigli before I make Batwoman suggestions.

Holy crap, Been Afflicted gets the gig-li?
No surprise that the vote on that page reflects general unhappiness at the decision.
I’d have given it to a complete unknown, but then I have no influence in the process, so…

What happened to Christian Bale?

Matt Damon as Nightwing – _ -

A friend texted me about this last night, I thought he was just fucking with me until I read it myself. God wtf were they thinking?

To be honest I didn’t have too high of expectations for this new Superman movie as it was but announcing Affleck as Batman was just….. I mean why not just get Clooney back, he was great too – _ -

Eh.

It’s not like Michael Keaton or Val Kilmer were great Batman choices, either. In fact, the entire franchise kind of sucks.

Nolan is the only one who has attempted an actually GOOD Batman, and that story is played out. Back to your regularly scheduled crappy super hero.

@FutureMemory Bale was offered $50 million to sign up, but insisted the trilogy, Begins/Dark Knight & Rises were enough for him.

for 50 mill, I’ll be Batman.

yawn

For £50 i’d play Catwoman…meaowwww!

@Seek_Kolinahr I thought Keaton was great.

Affleck? No! Fuck no! And hell to the no! I hate Ben Affleck.

Starting already.

Outrageous!
The role should go to Nicholas Cage

The cu fanboys complained about Keaton and Ledger, too, and they turned out to be great.
Benny will be fine.

The news of this part being given to Affleck was not, to be delicate, well received.

Still, he may do all right. Movies are in the showing.

Fanboys? Ha, jog on idi anime freak.
Cage looked like a fucking gimp in that suit in Kick Ass, wrong jawline.
Unknown newcomer woulda been the way to go, still, it’s done now.

This is pretty funny:

I’m another fan of Keaton and I say bring him back, but he’s 80 now, right? I’m exaggerating

BAH haha!

Went looking for a picture of Keaton.

Turns out he’s working on a new movie. About an aging actor who played an iconic superhero. Who is trying to make a Broadway comeback.

Excuse my while I die of irony and giggling.

Also, did anyone else absolutely love Birdman as a kid? I know I did.

Only when he was an attorney at law

I fucking hated Keaton, nowt to do with his performance though.
At the time, most of my mates & my mother said I was the double of him.
I still get called Bruce by a couple of the more annoying buggers, not mummy though…bless.

@ucme Pics or it didn’t happen.

You’re asking for pics from 1990, gawd knows where they are, buried deep in a box in the attic at my mum’s house probably.

I don’t think he’s a good actor at all, I’ll probably skip it. I think it’s been done too many times anyway. Like @Pachyderm_In_The_Room said….YAWN.

Collin Ferrell may be good at it, yummy.

Farrell

@ucme Sorry, he’s so sexy I can’t focus…lol

@KNOWITALL Yeah, he’s a sexy sumbitch & i’m 100% straight :D

@ucme But you laughed at me for liking Becks, hmmmm. Why don’t you like David?

A face like a caveman. Not surprised in the least.

One word: Daredevil. Nooooooo!!!

@KNOWITALL Because Beckham is a fuckin pussy who talks like a girly hamster :)

Ha ha. As opposed to all of those rugged and manly hamsters.

Those in laboratories are a law unto themselves.

You misread the release. Not Affleck… It’s the Aflac Duck. He’s going up against his most arch enemy Buggs Bunny.

IFC is on a roll today.

Here’s this pic.

No one has mentioned that Affleck played George Reeves in a movie a few years back.
Remember?

“Holy Casting Mishaps, Batman….er…..Affleck, you’re gonna suck in that role coming up!”

I don’t foresee good things for this movie when it comes out.
