Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 well that's interesting. I was hoping for Josh Brolin. And DareDevil is quite underrated IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yikes I thought DD was an unmitigated piece of crap ever seen the director's cut? I liked it more than the first Spiderman. One of the first superhero movies to take a serious tone and not a comedic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Montana Bengal| Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Not super happy about the choice, but I glad it isn't the version of Ben from 10+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDawgBengal Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 So is Batman going to go get high while Superman does all the work? If so, Affleck will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 this trailer for Affleck's next movie makes me think he can pull it off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyboDr1e2xI#t=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigris Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Super hero movies are just so fake. I'd rather watch something like Harry Potter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluhartz Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Not super happy about the choice, but I glad it isn't the version of Ben from 10+ years ago. This part I can agree with, that being said... Hell no.. He has became a good actor(much better director) i would rather them get someone we don't really know or something.

Jason Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'd rather have the AFLAC duck play Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 just think of it this way. Most people laughed when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker, and its one of the most iconic performances in cinematic history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 you should. It's even better. I'll have to pass DD itself was so incredibly bad, I couldn't put myself through watching a directors cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 just think of it this way. Most people laughed when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker, and its one of the most iconic performances in cinematic history. We had no frame of reference for Heath Ledger with regard to the Joker. He had never really played anything of note that was that dark, people were right to wonder if he could pull it off. With Affleck, we do, we can see how bad Dare Devil was (I know you disagree). This has potential to be George Clooney bad. This is surely a sign of the apocalypse... I believe it is the unwritten about 8th seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has potential to be George Clooney bad. I believe it is the unwritten about 8th seal. Regardless of what you think of DareDevil, I think its erroneous to think an actor is of the same quality now as he was more than 10yrs ago. Since then he's been nominated for a number of academy awards and golden globes, as an actor. We can debate the fit, but I don't think it can be denied that Affleck has turned into a pretty good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm not denying he's a decent actor (although while I liked it, I thought Argo was overhyped for the Oscar and that it should have went to Lincoln), I am questioning his ability to pull of a role like this.
