For something where Batman is already known and established I like Affleck. If this was a brand new reboot I'd probably complain because of his age.Dantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811675816215861253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845259432318711746.post-74824864473934245892013-08-27T15:44:50.069-07:002013-08-27T15:44:50.069-07:00I'm not vehemently opposed to Affleck being Ba...I'm not vehemently opposed to Affleck being Batman, I just really liked the rumor Josh Brolin was being considered.KJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845259432318711746.post-41254338968827292532013-08-27T08:51:01.655-07:002013-08-27T08:51:01.655-07:00Over time I've started being more forgiving wi...Over time I've started being more forgiving with actors, particularly when it comes to comic book based movies starring them. People are forgetting this is not a Batman film. Its gonna have him in it but that's not what people are focusing on. I absolutely could not STAND Mark Ruffalo but he turned out to be great in The Avengers. HATED Jeremy Renner but he was fine in his last few films. <br /><br />A lot of people I know that are upset about Affleck playing Batman have not seen Argo which is strange since it was tied for being my favorite film last year with Beasts Of The Southern Wild. I believe that Affleck is paying for past sins and any involvement in a movie like this would have caused an uproar. I wish people were this upset at how shitty Wolverine (both films) were.Dantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811675816215861253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845259432318711746.post-56677080169302501772013-08-26T17:18:27.029-07:002013-08-26T17:18:27.029-07:00Ledger though had elevated his craft in Brokeback ...Ledger though had elevated his craft in Brokeback Mountain, and I too a diplomatic 'wait and see' approach.<br /><br />Affleck's best role? George Reeves in Hollywoodland? I've yet to see Argo yet, but Affleck has more upside as a film maker than a film star at this point imo. If Affleck had been chosen to DIRECT the next Batman franchise, I think everyone would (should) be doing a happy dance.<br /><br />Favourite youtube comment recently: You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become Ben Affleck.KJnoreply@blogger.com
