Not sold on him, at all.

I don't think we're getting grimdark batman back for awhile.

That's a good thing in my book.

 

[Insane Dead]

Wow wasn't expecting this at all. Hope he can be a good Batman.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Once Again

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

 

[WedgeX]

Then again, we gaffers do not have the best track record with being outraged when it comes to superhero casting. Lest we ever forget Heath.

 

[Amagon]

I'll repeat what has been said multiple times already but,

What the fuck?!

 

[Solo]

The Town showed he can get jacked up nicely too. Really loving this choice.

 

[Byakuya769]

WB stay losing.

Marvel for life!

 

[Penguin]

WHAT?

 

[JABEE]

After Man of Steel, what do people expect? Who knows if this is going to be a good or a bad casting?

 

[Wilbur]

If Affleck was writing and directing this as well, I would be more interested. But seriously, WTF at this casting?

This this this. He's pretty good in Argo and The Town but is the weak link acting wise in both, whereas I really liked both films on the writing and direction side of things. I don't get it, jesus. I can't imagine him as Batman at all.

 

[Dug]

Wasn't Bale offered 50 million?!

 

[Raxus]

Jon Hamm.

Hamm makes a good Bruce Wayne. But Batman? Ehh... Not a bad pick though. It is just really hard finding a good Batman.

Much like Heath Ledger I will wait and see how this turns out.

 

[CountBlack]

I don't believe it

 

[Anastasia]

I'm trying to picture this in my head, and ...

I can't. :-(

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I don't think this is a very good choice.

Whatever, I don't care about Superman anyway.

 

[RustyNails]

Ben Affleck the only actor to play two different superheroes?

 

[javac]

Everyone's going to eat major crow in here. Need I remind you of Heath!

 

[abstract alien]

 

[Solo]

Ben Affleck the only actor to play two different superheroes?

Chris Evans?

 

[King Allant]

maybe he be a better batman than Christian Bale

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Ben Affleck the only actor to play two different superheroes?

Ryan Reynolds

 

[sfedai0]

Boston accent Batman.

 

[odiin]

Hopefully he replaces Snyder as the director while he's at it.

 

[ezekial45]

Wow.

 

[brandnew]

If you thought Bale was over doing it, just wait to see what Affleck will do with the "voice."

 

[Zabka]

I was hoping for Jeffrey Dean Morgan but Affleck could be ok. As long as whoever is Batman doesn't do the Baleman voice I think I'll be ok with it.

 

[Dead]

Ben Affleck the only actor to play two different superheroes?

Chris Evans

Human Torch and Cap

 

[Poyunch]

Just replace it with a bat cowl and you can imagine how he'd look.

 

[mrkgoo]

Ben Affleck the only actor to play two different superheroes?

Chris Evans?
edit: bah, beaten

 

[mm04]

I just don't see him being able to pull off the character. I'm not outraged, but I have my doubts.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

WB stay losing.

Marvel for life!

Basically...

With that said

Ryan Reynolds for the Flash! And Bradley Cooper for Hal Jordan!

 

[Good Job Bob]

Snyder can be Batman, Affleck should direct.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Someone shop Affleck with Batman Mask

That will make it or break it

No beard most likely will be clean shave or that 5 o' Clock Shadow that develops 15 minutes into any movie he stars in

Basically...

With that said

Ryan Reynolds for the Flash! And Bradley Cooper for Hal Jordan!

Ryan Reynolds is already Green Lantern...

[Deified Data]

Well how about that.

Can only be an improvement over Bale.

 

[ijm72]

What?!? Wow wasnt expecting him at all.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I am not interested until I see if he can do that deep raspy voice.

 

[LQX]

He doesn't look in good enough shape to play Batman. And I hate the way he dribble talks. Odd choice.

 

[Nilaul]

Will he be blind?

 

[Frost_Ace]

unexpected but I don't mind it tbh.

 

[javac]

I can definitely see him as Wayne. As batman, I need to see the first shots but I'm sure it'll be fine m

 

[.GqueB.]

Guys... Shut up...

Just...

*sigh*

Just shut up...

Shut up.

...

Shut the hell up.

Shut up you angry internet morons.

At least wait for a trailer.

Shut up.

 

[Dead]

I wonder what Kon-Tiki Hemlers thinks of this casting choice

 

[LiK]

I don't mind....

 

[Solo]

He'll already be a better Batman than Bale by sheer virtue of not having "the voice". Probably won't be as good of a Bruce Wayne though, but I'm guessing that won't really matter as he'll be in the suit most of the movie.

 

[Jarmel]

Everyone's going to eat major crow in here. Need I remind you of Heath!

Snyder isn't Nolan.

 

[Dany]

He's a fine actor, but not as Batman damnit.

Neither was Michael Keaton, and look how that turned out.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

This harkens me back to the Internet meltdown when Michael Keaton was selected as the batman. So eerily similar.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

"Bruce Wayne? What are you doing dressed up as Ben Affleck dressed up as Batman?"

 

[jett]

This is my worst nightmare come to life.
