As I said in the other thread... Affleck as Batman will never happen.

Movie won't ever get made.

Agreed, it's an odd choice, but it's pretty much been confirmed from Zack Snyder though. Affleck is on board.

I didn't know or see anything Cavill was a part of when going into Man of Steel; but I thought he made a great Superman. Another weird thing is that Affleck said time and time again that after what went down with the backlash of Daredevil, certain Marvel projects, and the madness of trying to rush out a JLA movie with no plan that he wouldn't be a part of another comic book movie. Also some of the assholes running DC's entertainment management was probably a factor too. (A Wonder Woman film being too confusing my ass)  But..it looks like he may of had a change of heart after seeing the script or what Synder wants him to do. But like Axlin said you never know you still have another 2 years for the movie to come out and has several more months to go before shooting begins; so he may or may not stay. Let's see what happens. Marvel is taking risks and they are still doing victory laps because they aren't playing it safe. They are trying different projects. Allowing more artistic freedom for the characters. Example: Saw a leaked teaser of Guardians of the Galaxy and so far it looking fucking sweet and fun.  Expanding the universe and not just betting on Stark. They just need to get Spidey out of the clutches of Sony and into Marvel Studios.  DC can't rush this film and they have to make it good. Or there re-tooled Synder filmverse with Nolan's watchful eye will be doomed.

Ben Affleck is a solid actor and director, dunno how I feel about him stepping into the role of Batman though...

Yeah..it is rather weird; but it brings me back to the Avengers thing. When I first heard Chris Evans as Captain America. I rolled my eyes. I already hated his portrayal of Johnny Storm in the meh Fantastic Four films and various other roles he was a part of. Except for his bit role in Scott Pilgrim. But..when I finally did see the Captain American movie, he completely won me over by making one of the most outdated and bland super heroes in my opinion into an actual likeable hero. Gave him personality and not making him appear like a douche. That same energy and good character went into Avengers. So I can't judge until I watch it for myself.

While I would love Bale to return because it makes perfect sense. The new Batman/Bruce has been confirmed in a news article. I posted it in the Supes thread. smile

Anybody know when the official announcements are coming down for Star Wars VII ?


Everybody is pretending like it's not even happening.

Maybe towards the end of this year or early 2014 when they start shooting perhaps. I know the lady that now runs Lucasfilm is saying that things are going swell with the development thus far. Yeah it is getting weird with the constant silence. Maybe a ton of pre-production work is being finalized and setting up various parts.

The new Batman ladies & gents. I'll keep an open mind about this one. Kind of perplexed abit. With his rise in getting good films out there nowadays.Still need to watch The Town too.  I'll wait for the trailers and the actual bat suit.

P.S. It's extremely ironic cause this guy was one the main choice to helm that failed/canceled JLA movie produced by Weta Digital workshop years ago. I personally liked Daredevil too.

It sounds good, but I'm still wary. At this point Disney has pretty much proven they are more or less clueless when it comes to mega productions. To me it'll come down to whether or not Lucas has a strong say in the story and minimal influence from Abrams. He sure knows how to make something exciting on the screen, but he lacks vision. As long as he's kept in a position where he does what he's told I'm optimistic.

While I enjoyed his take with Star Trek 1&2, they did lack something. J.J. can't write good developed female characters and that's a problem especially when the Star Wars Universe has so many so many great female legends. Not just Jedi. He also has a problem with certain aspects of story structure. Everything else he does I'm completely ok with. So I see where you are coming from. They need a good producer first and foremost. I have a feeling Lucas is still going to help out with a ton of the production and writing. Visual ideas here & there; but the rest is on Disney, Abrams, new team, and returning players. Seems like it from what they are saying in the press. I'm going go into this film with an open mind. Hell this might be an amazing film, I just think that 2015 especially when they haven't even start shooting and with what goes into every Star Wars film or production up to now..and time..leaves me with some worry.

Let's all just sit back and watch the black comedy unfold. If we get some tunes, all the better!
I hope the hoarders react appropriately to Beta's venom...

5 Here here. I'm right there beside you. Fuck this stupid shit.

Agreed! Karma is a bitch and it's going to bite her right in the ass with what she said. Completely uncalled for. Fear mongering from someone who isn't in the band.
