WB to announce Superman/Batman & JLA movies

😂

This is awesome. DD now as the Batman. Older, wiser than Superman. Loving what I am hearing thus far.

Good news, IMO. Ben has grown as an actor and hopefully direct the next Batman/JL movie.

this is bad news.. very bad news.. george clooney all over again

I don't see that at all. This isn't Ben 10 years ago. He's obviously grown as an actor and although not the best, very solid. He just won best movie last season at the Oscars and has directed a few great films.

Affleck is a far better director than actor... he stinks as an actor..

don't see how anything will get me pumped up for this

Ben Affleck being cast as Batman has killed my enthusiasm for this movie. I don't understand why WB wants a middle aged man to be Batman! Didn't they say Superman was the first public hero in this universe? If Batman has been around for a while, he's already public.

Also, don't they want longevity and youth from someone who's going to play Batman beyond the next decade? He'll be 51 ten years from now, yet were to expect him to portray a physically intimidating character? Not everyone ages well. The only solace I have in this is if this movie bombs, WB will reconsider their iron grip on the DC cinematic universe and hand it over to DC, because their track record outside of solo Batman and Superman is a full miss.

Disagreed. He was very good in Argo and The Town.

My problem isn't his acting, its that it's Ben Affleck and its nearly impossible for me to see him as Bruce Wayne.

Affleck is also 3 inches taller than Cavill. They should've cast Armie Hammer if they didn't care about height. He's 26, he has the perfect deep voice, and he's physically intimidating. Scott Adkins was my current top pick.

Wow, really? It has excellent reviews and is generally liked.

WB wants an older Bruce for this role.

Why does he have to be older? Don't they understand this is a reboot and the new Batman will also be in future Batman films? He will be 51 ten years from now if WB actually has a shared universe by then.

Don't know. That's just the way WB wants it. Little has been stated about the plot.

This is my biggest problem with WB. They want things that don't make sense and it usually backfires.

Jeez I really wish I WB did offer Bale $50mill now.

Every single one of the rumored casting choices were better than this!

Except Armie Hammer isn't fond of Comic book movies.

He was auditioning for Batman months ago. Disregarding height and casting him would make more sense, because he's younger.

I've always said if WB wanted a middle aged Batman, Bale was the best choice. He's already middle aged, people are familiar with him, and it would be stupid to recast the role for a similarly aged person when they should reboot with a man in his prime.
