Our first look at Bat-Affleck

[v2micca]

Personally, I was never that apposed to the casting of Ben Affleck in the role of Batman immediately following Christian Bale. I wasn't particularly thrilled with it, but they had to cast someone as Christian was done with the role. That said:






Visually, it doesn't look that bad. Definitely taking a page form Miller's Dark Knight returns. Of course, Aesthetics were never my problem with Snyder. The man can make pretty images. It's his ability to craft a good story that has always left me doubting.

This movie is going to suck

When did batman become a bodybuilder?

When did batman become a bodybuilder?

With a character as old as Batman, he has been re-envisioned through many many lenses. In this particular case as they are obviously trying to envoke Frank Miller's aesthetic, the answer to your question is, the mid-80's

You're joking, right?

When he was drawn on paper?

[Rabb]

I will wait until I hear him say "I'm Batman"

It's all that matters.

I would argue he's always been ripped. This is from number 2 (of Batman and Robin).

As far as I'm concerned Jesse Eisenberg is a much bigger problem than Affleck. I don't really have that much of an issue with Affleck as Batman honestly. He's far from the best choice, but Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor? Seriously?

[Kaylore]

Eisenberg definitely seems more like Riddler material to me than Lex Luthor.

Or maybe Scarecrow.

The Dark Knight trilogy will not be topped. That was as good as batman is ever going to get, but what a ride it was. Don't have high hopes for this.

[BroncoMan4ever]

Even without seeing him in action onscreen, Ben's Batman looks like he could kick the **** out of all the Batmans that came before him.

As long as the movie doesn't give the pussified version of Batman that Nolan gave I will be ecstatic.

I'm liking the Batmobile. Looks like a modified version from the one in the original Batman movie.
