Movie: The Batman (Battinson)

[Strat]

bane should play batman

[VinylGuy]

Multiple rumors about Affleck trying to step out from being Batman.

if he did, who would you like to see in that role?

Christian Bale

mmm im not sure.

I like him a lot in BVS...it would be a shame if he steps down after 2 movies.

[LoathedVermin72]

Bale was a weak Batman and Affleck is a giant pussy.

Bale was a weak Batman and Affleck is a giant pussy.

While I disagree with you on Bale, I still can't believe someone thought it would be a good idea to have Affleck play Batman.

Bale was a weak Batman

And this is where you and I part ways for a bit

I actually think he was a great Batman. But his behavior around this whole situation has been utterly spineless.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

One time I waited on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. Affleck said, "I'm gonna eat two dozen oysters, if you can believe that." Which he did, while looking completely bored by his station in life. Ms. Garner, on the other hand, was delightful.

Sounds like a more slobby Bruce Wayne, actually.

Reports of him feeling humiliated by the reception to BvS, and now possibly wanting out of the role, point to that. But getting out of the director's chair makes a lot of sense to me considering how involved the director's role is in addition to starring in it and maintaining the superhero physique. Sounds like a recipe for a complete meltdown

[BurtReynolds]

Isn't it about time for a woman Batman?

[Kaius]

That would be Batwoman.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

or a neil patrick harris as batman

[dimejinky99]

They'll end up getting Colin Farrell to do it and finally DC will die in the turd flame it deserves.

[bune]

That would be Batwoman.

[dimejinky99]

I want this movie right now. Awesome

[The Argonaut]

Domnhall Gleason as Batman

Domnhall Gleason as Batman

you can go straight to hell

[epilogue]

I don't really care who they get to play Batman. I'm much more bummed by the very real possibility that all of this means we aren't gonna get Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke. And that might be the biggest loss in this whole thing.

[bada]

Seems like every time I read something about Ben Affleck it has to do with him being nervous about his career.

i can relate

Yeah I get it. He had a string of flops several years back that culminated in the J Lo movie that basically made him a joke for a decade. He somehow clawed his way back to respectability and is probably scared to do anything to go back to where he was. Though if he thinks his gangster movie failed because of blow back from BvS he's deluded.

[epilogue]

What about going totally bonkers with casting Batman? Like Michael Keaton unconventional but x 100. Like, what about Will Ferrell as Batman? Or Kyle Mooney?
