    No trailer yet, of course.

    But movie is already confirmed for July 17 in 2015.

    The bad news is that rumors translated into reality, and Ben Affleck is the new Batman

    I've never understood the dislike for Affleck, I've always thought he'd been good in what I've seen him in. I understand he was in some shitty superhero film I never saw, but many great actors have been in shitty films. He was meant to be amazing in Argo, not seen that yet sadly.

    Thrik I really like Ben Affleck, and I also think he's a great director (The Town, great)... I just don't see him as the Batman.

    He's not rugged, he look and sounds "soft". The voice doesn't fit imo (sounds "chewy" to me) but most of all his important chin... i already imagine him in the cape and the result is the ridiculous Clooney-Batman.

    But it'll be authentic then!

    To be fair I understand the voice, but then Bale doesn't exactly have the most naturally grizzly voice either — he puts on an almost comical gruff voice for his Batman scenes. I dunno, I just have to hope they know what they're doing after Man of Steel and Batman Nolan (which I loved) haha.

    I see "Afleck as Batman" as decidedly more "Clooney as Batman" than "Bale as Batman". And that's a bad thing.

    I think Ben is a talented guy and a great director. He can act but he's not Batman. He's the Kid who's lunch money is taken every day.

    Yeah, I thought about the toons never been into that. And btw that character is un-proportioned (huge torso) which compensate that visual trait, while on a normal body, can't see it working.

    Agree on Bale's Batman voice was pretty "forced", but i dug the overall performance because Bale results very rough; we'll se what happens, but i think Ben's voice is too "chewy".

    I honestly can't believe the whole internet is raging over the choice of an actor for a superhero movie...

    Why? Batman is very popular, it's bound to happen.

    I've always wondered why Affleck hasn't gone down the villain route in films. For some reason he is fairly despised (though I quite like him), and when he has a beard he automatically looks more evil anyway. He could probably pull it off quite well.


    Then again, isn't Batman meant to be Superman's enemy in the next Man of Steel film? Suddenly things are making more sense...

    Agreed, i'd be curious to see that.

    Btw in his latest movie he is somewhat of an antagonist:

    "Better get used to the new big screen Batman Ben Affleck because it sounds like he's going to be around for awhile."


    http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/…source=facebook


    Affleck is expected to be doing pre-production work on his next directorial effort -- the Prohibition gangland film Live By Night, which he'll shoot next fall -- while simultaneously filming his Batman role.


    busy man!

    Btw, Batman will appear in Man Of Steel 2 before than the Versus movie.


    I'd be curious to know if in these cases –big actors, important movies– they just get to an agreement with the actors and they'll make it work, or if they rehearse something to see if the guy can make it work or not.
