Behold, the (New) Batman!

I don't always write about things completely unrelated to eRepublik, but when I do it's pure catharsis.

I feel like I've been the only person to have faith in Ben Affleck's casting as Batman. It's as if everyone pretends that the fanatical internet horde isn't ALWAYS wrong about these things. I mean, do I even have to bring up Heath Ledger?

"But Ben Affleck was a horrible Daredevil!"

Yeah, and Chris Evans was a horrible Johnny Storm before becoming a fantastic Captain America.

It got so bad that the worst of them tried to claim that Affleck doesn't "look" like Batman and isn't "big enough" (he's 6'4").

Anyway, it's great to see everyone falling in line now that it's fairly obvious Ben Affleck won't have any trouble filling the suit.

I don't personally think he would make a good Batman, lets just wait and see 🙂

lol, if 1.92m isn't big enough, then they should cast yao ming to be the new batman 🙂

"But Ben Affleck was a horrible Daredevil!"

That is rubbish quote, why do people slate that film, I have watched more moves that most and enjoyed Dare Devil so much so I brought the film.

I'm sure his been working out for the film, good article voted I agree with what you are saying!

Dio Hostilian Day 2,367, 03:11

brought where? bought, perhaps?

and i agree, he wasn't a horrible daredevil. the film was quite all right.

Grogu. Day 2,367, 03:14

purchased 🙂 I have a little dyslexia do you have to keep pointing that out ? yeah that film was alright.

Grogu. Day 2,367, 03:16

see I could pull you up on your i is not a capital 🙂

Dio Hostilian Day 2,367, 03:41

yup, i don't know of any capital named i. perhaps some chinese province has a capital named i, but not that i know of 😛

Daredevil was a bad film in lots of ways but I can't deny I enjoyed it 😛

Tbh I don't understand the fuss about the casting, the success/quality of the film all hinges on the director and producers. I don't think many people would claim that Bale was more important to the last incarnation than Christopher Nolan was....

If he can make a "decent" Batman, it doesn't matter.
What matters is to make a superb Bruce Wayne.
