I call Bullshit and normally I joke when I say "This movie is going to suck".... BUT... this movie is going to F**KING suck.
I posted this earlier on Facebook on one of my buddies pages that said he was excited. I am wondering if he is mentally OK.
"Oh thank god... he is just not-acting in the new superman film. Phew. I was about to say that the Batman franchise was dead to me because of this lack of casting. I read a while back that the studios are wanting to release a new Dark Knight series of movies... Groan... and the list of actors they are looking at are Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Joe Manganiello, Richard Armitage, Max Martini and Matthew Goode. Where is Affleck on this list? He isn't... SOOOO here we go....
The problem with DC and Warner Brothers is that they have no continuity. Marvel has kicked ass with its' superhero movies because, so far, all the actors have returned to reprise their roles. There isn't a new Wolverine for every movie. Nor is there a new Tony Stark as Iron Man. BUT poor pathetic DC and Warner Brothers slap an "S" on the newest pretty face and the Cowl on, i guess, whom ever will play Batman.
The first round of nipple showing Batman movies were just dumb as hell. Michael Keeton, Val Kilmer, and George Cloony??? Are you freakin kidding me? They finally got something good with Bale. And then they take two steps forward and three steps back and cast Affleck? I can tell you right now, he is not an actor... Ha added NOTHING to "Argo". Other than directing a decent film. I did not think it lived up to the hype.
And with this being said... this movie will be the FIRST superhero movie that I wait to come out on Netflix. It is simply going to suck. Hell, I didn't like the Re-Re-Re-boot (I think that is one too many 'Re-s") of The Man of Steel, so, combine the "lack of acting capabilities" of Henry Cavill and the ZERO acting abilities of Affleck and you have a turd of a movie. But, school girls and soccer moms will flock to it so see the "pretty faces".
OH, and if Affleck does manage to become the next Dark Knight in the Batman series, the franchise is definitely dead to me. If they cast Kevin Smith to play Batman as "Silent Bob", I would be happier than their choice of that pathetic acting Mall Rat "Shannon".
Thoughs?
