Doubting El Dandy Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Rumor was he was going to be in another Jack Ryan movie coming up, so since I'm actually a bigger fan of those than the Batman movies, in a way if this means they give that role to someone else instead of him I'd actually be happy about him being Batman! Actually Chris Pine has been slated for the Jack Ryan movie for quite a while now. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205537/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think that cartoon is supposed to poke fun at the whimisical nature of internet movie snobbery and geek fandom, my friend. To use the Daredevil analogy again, it's like when people were like, "Hey, The Green Mile is such a powerful movie. Why didn't Michael Clarke Duncan win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor?" and then they were all, "That asshole from The Scorpion King is going to be Wilson Fisk in the Daredevil movie? THE KINGPIN ISN'T EVEN BLACK~!" I think their anaolgy is rather apt. Yeah, I think that's a bad analogy because I never read any reactions like that about Kingpin. Plus, Duncan's performance as Kingpin was terrible. I think Duncan was a good performer but to me he hardly was a good Wilson Fisk. To his credit, one of his better scenes was cut out of the movie and the whole movie itself was basically gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 There was definitely "backlash" saying "Why is the Kingpin going to be black?" Don't remember how much on the Michael Keaton scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I remember when the idea that the dude from Moonlighting was going to be in an action film was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I know it's funny to laugh at how irrational fans are at casting decisions that turn out to be winners. I mean look at Daniel Craig as James Bond, now granted most of that hate came from soccer moms obsessed with Pierce Brosnan and too much time on their hands. At the same time, some of these casting decisions don't always turn out great either. Case in point, Van Wilder as Green Lantern. Was a total mis-casting. And I mean, look at Halle Berry. She's an Academy Award-winner and she is one of the worst performers in the entire X-Men franchise. Even without Singer she seemed to get more annoying.

assfax Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hold the god damn. I'm just now hearing that Kevin "SHITTY" Smith is writing this movie? He made Batman piss his pants. Boll shit. Red State sucked a big old globby clayface dick by the way. Widening Gyre osculated pilose en-ordured fundament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Just so you know. . .you have Brian Fowler on your side. I had no use for him with all the fans I have now, but he's a good man and he'll do right by you. A thousand likes. I think what poor Brian doesn't understand is how much people simply dislike Affleck in general, his actual acting skill be damned, and thus do not want to him to play an iconic character they love. Also, X-Pac heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ben Affleck's had three acclaimed film as a director will probably be directed by Zack Snyder. I liked Watchmen and Man of Steel but not they aren't at the level of Affleck's three films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 OK, I wasn't on the board the entire last week, so I missed the whole Ben Affleck discussion. All I want to say is: Who cares who plays Batman? We're talking about "Man of Steel Part 2: Electric Boogaloo ft. Batman". It'll be terrible regardless of who plays Batman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yeah, Snyder's direction and the writing for this thing is a bigger issue to me than Ben Affleck's Batman. There's going to be a lot to handle in this movie. Basically, there are going to be many opportunities to fuck things up. I hope it's not 3 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigertooth Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Interesting Affleck quote from 2006: "By playing a superhero in Daredevil, I have inoculated myself from ever playing another superhero," Affleck told the press at the London premiere of Hollywoodland. "Wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn't want to do again soon." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll make sure everything fits into one universe by using ONE director and ONE screenwriter besides the director. That's a nice way to quadruple your workload though.

I was going to say he went a decade+ between wearing costumes, but then I remembered he does wear the Superman suit a bit in Hollywoodland, so he only kind of did.
