I love me some NWC, but I think Armitage would be a better Bats
Well, I was personally hoping for something a lot like the graphic novel Dark Knight Returns. Wasn't that the name of it? Where Batman fights superman wearing some sort of exoskeleton?
Sooo... I've been reading up a bit on this movie lately, and I've got to say, my hopes for it have pretty much fallen straight through the floor like a JDAM passing through a rickety old apartment building.
6 Things You Can Likely Expect From Zack Snyder’s ‘Superman & Batman’ Movie
What Kind Of Batman Will Superman Face? 5 Choices For 'Superman & Batman'
It looks like we're going to get no input from either Nolan or Bale, and no connection to the previous Dark Knight Trilogy whatsoever.
I mean... Damn. What could they possibly be thinking? They're basically telling at least 50% (and more likely, something closer to 90% - 100%) of their movie's potential fan base to go **** themselves right from the get go.
No one wants a Batman reboot, especially not a mere 2-3 years after the end of Nolan's trilogy. At this point, anyone with acting chops short of James Dean channeling early era Marlon Brando will be essentially impossible for audiences to take seriously in the role.
Don't get me wrong. The concept has promise. If Man of Steel had turned out to be as great a movie as its trailer had seemed to imply, I might've even been willing to bet that this future film would turn out to be pretty good.
However, the simple fact of the matter is that Man of Steel wasn't "great." It was just sort of "okay." The film's concept and casting were good, but its tone, script, and execution were all middling at best, and stillborn at worst.
I might be wrong (and I pray to God that I am), but given this fact, I get the definite impression that any Snyder directed Batman vs Superman film is likely going to turn out to be a disaster as well. More to the point, it is probably going to suck.
Anyone else have an opinion on the matter?
Oscar-winning director Ben Affleck is set to star as Batman in Warner Bros. Man of Steel sequel, the studio announced Thursday.
Well, I now may be willing to join in on the doubters side.
Ben Affleck is the new Batman | Inside Movies | EW.com
This feels like Batman and Robin all over again, somehow.
and no mary jane! How in the hell can there be no mary jane! That's the whole point of spiderman is the conflict of being the hero and his love life!!!
Ben Affleck is competing with Ryan Reynolds for the title "#1 Killer of Superheros in Hollywood".
Affleck will get the Norman Osborn lifetime achievement award on this, now. Killing Daredevil AND Batman is way better than offing the Green Lantern and Deadpool.
I agree, but you know, I just don't get it, I like Reynolds as an action character. AND I think he's perfect for playing the goofy DC characters. I realise I am near alone in that regard. :mrgreen:

meh, you can't really blamer him for deadpool. Clearly any group of writers that removes his ability to speak know **** all about the character
Which is why I blame him for not walking after reading teh script. He's supposed to be a huge Deadpool fan, and any fan of Deadpool knows there's no excuse for removing the mouth of the merc with a mouth! I mean, c'mon man!
I don't really remember George Clooney's bat man.
never read the comics so help me understand how exactly Batman can beat Superman?
You're not supposed to.

Because Batman is a master strategist and will learn about and understand his enemy in ways the individual could never hope. One method he planned out in the past was a kryponite bullet
He'd be a great Deadpool, actually, as long as they don't ****ing destroy the character in the movie that he's in (see: Wolverine). If I was a big time actor, and I was handed a script that did that to deadpool, I'd have walked.
