Ben Affleck is your new Bruce Wayne; Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor?

i don't think batman is particularly difficult character to portray.

 

flip on your batman voice, cover 80% of your face, have a serious attitude and you're set.

 

that being said, it's batman not batboy. i wouldn't have even considered affleck for the role.

Prolly gonna get poo on for suggesting it, but I think Ben Foster could have handled this role very well... even though he's a ginger.

 

 

I'll wait and see about Affleck. I've liked most of his work, but DD sucked balls (theatrical release to be fair), and not my idea of the Batman type. But then again, this is also why I'm not in Hollywood making the big bucks either.

Ben Foster always comes off as a little unhinged.

 

Not in a good batman way either.  You got to believe that although Wayne is clearly a disturbed individual, you dont ever think he is just going to start killing people.  With Foster you would think that was an option.

Fair enough, but I do remember back in the day, Batman in the DC comics did kill the occasional henchmen or twelve, with a good day being he winged the hell outta the Penguin (pun intended). It was only after the whole mother's movements in the late 70s and early 80s that he started to tie up bad guys instead of outright killing them, given the chance.

 

 

Slightly unhinged and not afraid to permanently take down bad guys is my idea of who Batman is. So, Foster kinda fits the true vigilante and darker style I'm expecting.

Me and Dpantherman will like this...

 

 

JT wants to play the Riddler...

 

 

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/justin-timberlake-wants-to-play-the-riddler-1200592367/

 

 

 

“Not a chance in hell. I ain’t playing Robin. I have no aspiration to ever be a superhero in a movie,” he told the radio show.

“Now, a villain! I’ll tell you the villain I want to play more than anything because I grew up loving Batman, funnily enough, is The Riddler. The Riddler is my favorite villain. The Riddler was like a sociopath. He was proper crazy. So if I’m gonna play crazy, I’m wanna play proper crazy.”

 

 

 

Can Mrs. Timberlake also play a part?  Preferably a scantily clad part?

 

Maybe something like this...

If Jack Nicholson  had been given the same script that Heath Ledger was given, Ledger's performance would have seemed journeyman at best.

 

Come on now that's a little overboard. Ledger gave one of the most creative performances in the past 10 years in my opinion. I don't crown his ass like a lot of people do but he was incredibly unique in that movie. I say that as a huge Nicholson fan.

 

 

Affleck will have to pull a rabbit out of his ass to make this work. Bale is in my opinion of one the top 3 actors  right now. He had the aura, ego and confidence of Bruce Wayne. He's been the best one yet in my opinion. Michael Keaton second, then I throw Kilmer and Clooney in the garbage can.

 

I think the reason Bale turned it down was because this movie is a Superman cross over. That makes the script incredibly more difficult to be as thrilling the Nolan series, it already loses its grittiness. That said I wish he would have accepted.

 

 

You all do realize that if Heath Ledger didn't die there would have been at least 4 movies, 2 with the joker, then they still probably would have done Bane too. It would have been the greatest movie franchise ever imo.

Bruce Wayne / Batman dynamic is extremely difficult to portray

 

then all previous batmans are all phenomenal actors because it doesn't seem very difficult at all. not saying i could do it, but it doesn't require any sort of deep performance.... it's a super hero movie.

Clooney, Kilmer failed horribly at it

They did what they could with the material. Like Affleck with Daredevil, they didn't write the scripts.

 

I think it's pretty obvious Clooney can play a playboy type, considering he does in 9/10 of the movies he's in. And he's also really good in serious roles.

 

Clooney in a gritty Dark Knight style Batman with Bruce in his 50's would be fuging amazing.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      By Paa Langfart · Posted

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
