No! Why could they not have cast an inherently obvious choice like Keaton or Bale were at the time? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 28/08/2013 01:31:20 AM

Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman in the upcoming sequel to Superman: Man of Steel.

Henry Cavill will return as Superman, and Ben Affleck will join the cast as the Dark Knight in the superhero team-up.

That's right, Ben Affleck. Batman. Ben Affleck. Batman.

still in shock . . .


He looks the part. I can't believe they are going to humiliate Batman by putting him in a Superman movie. It's Hawkeye in the Avengers all over again. Especially if this is a direct sequel to Man of Steel that relies on people having watched the prior movie, where Kryptonians move too fast for humans to actually do anything about it. Seriously, I don't care what a bunch of picture books have to say on the subject - there is no place for Batman in that franchise.

Batman tends to upstage anyone he has a crossover with ßelals Girl - 28/08/2013 03:03:29 AM 1135 Views
I doubt they will fight all that much but argue more about their different views on justice ironclad - 28/08/2013 08:11:37 AM 1031 Views
I wasn't really expecting them to fight at all ßelals Girl - 28/08/2013 01:46:14 PM 1018 Views
What are their different views? A Deathwatch Guard - 29/08/2013 12:11:58 AM 1004 Views

Except Batman very well might kill you. Joel - 02/09/2013 05:50:56 AM 1287 Views
Batman kills people all the time. Joel - 02/09/2013 06:25:34 AM 1412 Views
That is taken out of context. MonCul - 02/09/2013 04:45:51 PM 994 Views
Fair enough, but there are plenty of other cases where Batman readily killed the deserving. Joel - 02/09/2013 09:23:17 PM 1222 Views
I would hazard a guess that Superman has killed more frequently than Batman Stephen - 05/09/2013 12:42:47 AM 1273 Views
Hence the later "humans" qualifier, though it is passing rare even for nonhumans. Joel - 05/09/2013 01:58:59 AM 1254 Views
Because that was how it always went in Worlds Finest? Joel - 02/09/2013 06:17:11 AM 1156 Views

It's a sequel to Man of Steel. This cannot possibly change my opinion about a sequel. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2013 01:06:34 AM 683 Views
