Batman, Ben, and who the f— cares?? | Read. Watch. Blog

Yes, like everyone else on the internet, I had to post my thoughts on people posting their thoughts on Ben as Batman.

The short version: the movie is going to suck no matter what, so who cares who plays Batman?

Ben Who?

*is so out of the loop, that she can't even see it*

LOL really? My ENTIRE Facebook page was wall to wall "Ben Affleck OMG WTF" on Thursday night, friends and businesses. You'd have thought it was something that actually mattered in the grand scheme of things.

Read and commented. This is my first time hearing the news too.

ITA.

That's my entire feelings about this whole thing, honestly. I care not about this whole hoopla but I think we can all collectively agree that it's gonna suck and flop so hard.

Yup. DC just doesn't have the street cred to make anything that complete with Marvel. The end.

That's essentially my thoughts as well. I <3 Christian Bale so the likelihood that anyone else would be instantly accepted as a replacement is slim. I wasn't a huge fan of this superman movie, so it is unlikely I'll be bothered to spend the money to go see the sequel.

I'm just kinda done with Nolan's superhero world. After the Avengers movies, I sorta prefer heroes with a sense of humor.

Fully agreed. I was a huge fan of the most recent batman series but it is HEAVY.

Really I'm for any movie (or any media really) that has involvement of Joss Whedon. I'm an unabashed fangirl for that man. The sense of humor he gives to his characters is just one of the selling points. :)

my opinion?

I really dug Man of Steal and I LOVE JUSTICE LEAGUE.

I think if they play it like the comic books and get a good Wonder Woman stand alone and maybe a Flash stand alone TJL will be awesome. And in that world Bruce is older than Clark.

Having said that, the odds of them doing a good WW movie are slim to none but IF they can get a good Green Lantern stand alone (Rumor has it they are tapping Nathan Fillion to play GL) and IF Joss Weadon directs it then it mights be good.

Well, Joss is signed on to work for Marvel studios right now so there is no way he'll be able to do Justice League since they are hoping to compete with Avengers 2. So, yeah, it's gonna suck. LOL.
