|Montana Bengal| Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 This has potential to be George Clooney bad. Nothing can be that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 the writing/directing/producing was the problem in Batman and Robin, not the actors. Clooney was actually well suited for that role, but the entire movie around him was such a mess. Clooney as a billionaire with an alter-ego is plenty believable, and obviously he had the acting chops. IMO it was a great casting choice, but horrible execution of the movie overall. There's a great documentary on youtube somewhere about how the only thing that mattered to the studio with that film was selling toys, and Joel Shumacher regretting that he went along with it. I think this is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY6FLW7oI0M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm not buying it. Ben is best as a blue collar, Everyman. Billionaire, playboy, superhero doesn't fly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Affleck is a much better actor now than when he made DareDevil (regardless of what you think of the movie). We'll see how it goes.

Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm not buying it. Ben is best as a blue collar, Everyman. Billionaire, playboy, superhero doesn't fly.... I agree he's best as an everyman. I think he can pull off Billionaire fine, what I'm curious to see is if he can pull off what seemed to be the route they were going with the character: rough around the edges, older retired batman coming out of retirement to take down a Superman he thinks is being a puppet for a corrupt government. Someone who can deliver this monologue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C-bU3rhX_Q if they go a different route with the character though, I think it'll be fine.

Jamie_B Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 BTW Matt Damon imo is a far and away better actor than Ben Affleck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 One of my best friend's reactions, I had to share because it is just so awesome.... So, Ben Affleck will be playing Batman in the Man of Steel sequel..... Some producers just want to watch the world burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'd go with Frank Miller's Batman/Superman storyline, and go with an older badass like Stephen Lang. If I'm committed to someone younger, I'd go with more of a Gerard Butler or Sam Worthington. They at least have the imposing presence, grizzled look, and powerful voice. Ben doesn't do 'badass,' which is hugely important when pitting a mortal against a God... And Daredevil was awful. I certainly have favorite movies that suck (Rutger Hauer's Split Second), but I understand they suck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if they still go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 interesting note I just read, Christopher Nolan originally wanted Ben Affleck to direct Man of Steel before the gig eventually went to Zack Snyder. Affleck had turned the job down. Now Snyder will be directing Affleck in the Man of Steel sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble In the Jungle Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Ben is a good Actor you bitch ass whiners. Also, it don't matter who they put as Batman, Superman will whip his ACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben is good when he doesn't have to show emotion, so unless Batman cries he will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Rumor is Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad will be Lex Luthor. yea that's been going around for awhile, but its not close to being done. He seems to be on their short list with a few other guys. The rumor mostly stems from his vocal interest in the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Skins Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 http://popwatch.ew.com/2013/12/04/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-batman-superman/ (opinion piece) http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/12/04/gal-gadot-wonder-woman/ Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe,” said director Zack Snyder, in a statement. “Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.” Gadot, 28, competed in the 2004 Miss Universe pageant as Miss Israel before becoming a professional model/actress. What better qualifies her to play a superhero, though, might be the two years she spent in the Israeli army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
