I don't really mind Affleck as Batman, I'm willing to see how it goes anyway. I'm watching Red, and as another suggestion for Batman that's not going to happen now... Karl Urban.

Same. I read an interview with Ben Affleck talking about being the new Batman. He read the script before deciding whether to accept the role and feels pretty confident he can do it justice.

Apparently the script is very good and they are focusing on an older Batman (a la The Dark Knight Returns, although he isn't 60 odd). I can't see it being that awful to be honest, Nolan is involved and I doubt he'd keep quiet if they picked the wrong guy.

Affleck did mention that they weren't going to try and carry on from the Nolan trilogy, but rather use some bits and expand on that.

Sounds a bit fractured and complicated.

He's the wrong shape for batman.

he has a better chin for it than Bale had, he was a bit pointy.

[Halb]

No, a bumchin is awful for Batman.

[VinceFox]

I'm sure affleck can get the size on, but he shapes up differently. Big shoulders but thin neck. And he has a chin like a fat bird's arse.

Lest we forget...

He was damn good. He believed it, 100%. He's a good actor. Keaton too.

Anyone mentioned this yet - Wonder Woman is in the movie too - http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57617682-1/won...

I'm sure there are more rumours of them filming this and the justice league movie back to back. Which would make sense with the wonderwoman angle

[VinceFox]

At the moment it looks like the best batman filum being made is the lego movie.

[Halb]

He has a square chin!

Indeed. Jermey Irons as Alfred I can live with but Jessie Eisenberg!? Really?

I was just ready to give Affleck a chance but this might be a step too far.

They probably would have been fine if it wasn't for the Nolan trilogy, they cast a very very long shadow indeed, stunning films but a lesson to DC in how not to do it. Marvel tied up (nearly) all the rights to their main characters and a very clear path of where to go with their movie universe when they started.

DC are trying to jump on the same band wagon a bit late in the game and it all feels a little hodge-podged and rushed. It's going to have to be really good to stand apart from Nolan's films.

Anyone think it's true that Bale turned down really silly money to don the cap again?
