Ben Affleck IS New 'Batman' in MAN OF STEEL Sequel

Ahhhh yes, another Heat Ledger response. This isnt geting old yet. Cats swear it happens everyday on BGOL yet the only answer im getting is a 7year old casting announcement that only took a OD and death to solidify its greatness. Oh, and lets not forget everyone in the fucking world nearly thought casting a 26year old Ledger fresh off Brokeback Mountain as The Joker was a bad move, so that had nothing to with BGOL. Good job guys.


"Solid" is not "good acting". Solid merely means he didnt stink up the joint. So we have (at best) 3 solid performances to go along with 20years of stinkers, including one of the worst comic book hero performances to date. Also, his acting was mediocre in The Town (a boston guy with a laughable boston accent) and Argo was a great film but his acting was nothing noteworthy (but his directing was).

Yeah because you know what's a "good boston accent" I know you're not from there... I never seen no one complain about his boston accent .in the movie.. all I say from actual boston people was.. they thought the movie reflected the area well
 
i have no problem with the casting.

the uproar over this is amusing tho

Man of Steal was a drama and the sequel will be a drama also. They wanted a tall, dramatic actor, with a name for the role. It's that simple. Affleck can do drama so he'll be alright.
 
While you do that... "find" a weight loss solution for the bitch in your avi:yes:

oh he mad lol...but sticking to the discussion you full of shit tho...threads only go back to '07 but I remember dudes were very ecstatic about downey playing starks esp. since he had his own personal bout w/ drugs + alcohol
 
i didnt read all the responses before so forgive me.....who would you guys recommend to play batman?

I think Josh Brolin would've been a good Batman in my opinion

I think that a lot of people, including myself, is still
pissed off of his Daredevil performance

I think he has improved somewhat but I think there are
certain roles that he can play and some that he cant play

What helps his creditability of being chosen
is his recent work on the movies The Town and Argo

Well whether or not his accent was "laughable"(I don't think it was but its not worth arguing) he won't need that to play Batman. I mean let's be real here. He's not playing Don Corleone or playing the lead in Citizen Kane here. Its a damn comic book Batman movie with Superman in it. :lol:

Is anyone really going to see this movie for the acting? If that's the case then they probably need to go and get Daniel Day Lewis to play Batman and have Meryl Streep play his love interest. :lol:

And i've acknowledged his acting to me wasn't very good prior to recently. I've stated as such. I feel like as with any form of entertainment you can get better with your craft. Ben Affleck has. Its no surprise he's getting critically acclaimed for some of his recent work because he's growing as a actor like most actors do. How can I judge him on that shitty ass Daredevil movie with its shitty script when he's had a good script and a good director he's murdered that shit?

I never thought about Brolin. If I was him I wouldn't take the role on but he would've been a solid choice for me as well. Better than Affleck for me. Affleck isn't my first choice or hell probably wouldn't even be brought up but I just think its funny people writing him off like he's going to be asked to give a Oscar nominated performance. :lol: Its Batman. :lol:

And Daredevil was trash. But I just seem to remember the script and movie itself being garbage. I don't give Affleck sole credit for that. I go to the writers and director first.
 
Iron man, Man of steel...Christian bale as batman.. Heath ledger etc
What the fuck is etc bro? Give examples dammit. Youve had an entire day and still all i get is Heath Ledger. Bale WAS awful as Batman, and the Iron Man criticism was NOT across the board disappointment like this. The casual fan had no fucking mental idea what Iron Man/ Tony Stark was like as a character or personality to begin so to act like the board was in an uproar is more revisionist bullshit. You cats act like this is a regular occurrence yet you struggle to rattle off proof.

like Dj Morpheus pointed... niggas was against RBJ as Iron Man :lol::lol::smh: Bgol..comic book movie weirdos are predictable.. watch what happens when the first trailer drops "first night!!":puke::lol:
Yes,you keep saying this but wheres the proof. And whats a comic book weirdo? Is it anything like a porn message board weirdo? You niggas and your internet elitism are hilarious.

You talk about me acting like I need to sign things before people can "say things" what about you talking about people being "bad actors" or bad movies etc with such surety like it's fact ? lol you talk about ledgers performance being over rated because of his death like he didn't kill the role
Yes, because you're on a message board complaining about people expressing opinions and flat out lying in efforts to defend your criticism of those people. Me saying Affleck sucks is an opinion thats shared by the masses and is supported by his 20year acting resume which is filled with stinkers. You saying BGOL always shits on castings and always turns out wrong after the first trailer is a lie. See the difference??
 
oh he mad lol...but sticking to the discussion you full of shit tho...threads only go back to '07 but I remember dudes were very ecstatic about downey playing starks esp. since he had his own personal bout w/ drugs + alcohol


Mad ? naw just offering advice... health reasons


and lol at you saying I'm "full of shit" but then saying what "you remember" which isn't a fact... because you can't produce solid evidence either... guess it's just "memories"
 
Well whether or not his accent was "laughable"(I don't think it was but its not worth arguing) he won't need that to play Batman. I mean let's be real here. He's not playing Don Corleone or playing the lead in Citizen Kane here. Its a damn comic book Batman movie with Superman in it. :lol:
Acting doesnt matter in super hero flicks? Tell that to Superman Returns an Green Latern execs.

What has he gotten critical acclaim for as an actor?? And what acting gig did he "murder"? :confused::lol:

fyi- The Town was a good action flick and his acting was not what carried it. Argo he received recognition as a director son. A director!!!
 
oh he mad lol...but sticking to the discussion you full of shit tho...threads only go back to '07 but I remember dudes were very ecstatic about downey playing starks esp. since he had his own personal bout w/ drugs + alcohol

Its more revisionist bullshit man. Cats are stuck at Heath Ledger and are forced to make shit up that didnt happen. The board was NOT in an uproar over Downey Jr. One of the biggest criticisms was about how white actors continue to get chances and opportunities despite being colossal fuck ups. But to act like that response was similar to this one is horseshit.

you sound silly as hell acting like you know anything about this chic based on that small ass avi...or maybe you're just trolling for me to post a body shot lol anyway back on topic I brought that up to counter what you brought up as just "memories"...thing is you're tryna spout ya "memories" as something that's a given recurrence on bgol
 
Here's the link to the Dark Knight thread where people was talking about "bring back Jack" after just looking at pics of Heath Ledger.

I'll wait for the first trailer before I say something.

that's y'all best example lol not as polarizing as I expected the way y'all were talking...2 ppl jokingly said bring back jack...and someone pointed out he wasn't sinister looking...hardly a bashing + not much strong opposition stating he was a bad choice aside from the 2 "bring back jack" statements
 
the search function on this forum is way too terrible for anyone to search back for some of these threads debating casting choices.

Josh Brolin as Batman.............*shrug* That could work too I suppose.

Nigga you're making it seem like it was just "2 ppl"

besides the bring "jack back" you had niggas


some of you are getting your hopes up too high , I think we are in a for a big disapointment

This looks like it'll be o.k. I like the darker batman films the tim burton ones are my favorites the last movie was alright, I enjoyed seeing scare crow. :yes:

I think that they should have cast jim carrey as the joker. :dunno:


:lol::lol:


should have kept jack nic as joker


Not to be cynical but once again another batman movie. :rolleyes:

if it were up to me i would try to find the guy who played joker in the batman dead end mini movie

then you had nigga laughing about his purple costume saying is he "prince" and niggas were laughing hard and that's just one thread two pages

Exactly,... I was trying to find some things ,but it only takes me to the bootlegs in the hollywood section

and the way some cats name the thread titles... it's not always as simple as "argo" or the town for example

it could be new gangster movie or something like that and unless you posted in it and didn't just read it.. you're screwed
 
Yeah because you know what's a "good boston accent" I know you're not from there... I never seen no one complain about his boston accent .in the movie.. all I say from actual boston people was.. they thought the movie reflected the area well
Oh yea? Heres a quote from a Boston paper that trashed the accent:

Even in the middle of a good review the Boston Phoenix felt bound to point out that "one of the least convincing elements in Affleck's re-creation of the Boston criminal demi-monde is his own erratic accent",

Leroy, in the entire thread there is only ONE post outright bashing Ledger as The Joker. Maybe i gave these guys too much credit in even conceding the Ledger argument. These cats are completely full of shit.:lol:

I named movies that I know for a fact niggas shitted on ..Adding the new x men movie.. watch how the tide turns when the first trailer drops... niggas were shitting on bryan singer and how the "robots" looked ,but y'all see and I'll be right there to point it out

You say the "masses" think affleck can't act ,but the masses sure love seeing movies where he's a big part of it :rolleyes: they sure love paying money to watch his "bad acting"

who's the "liar now" http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=benaffleck.htm

since I'm "lying" it should be easy to point out where I'm Lying" you haven't done that yet though


You calling someone "elitist" is very funny for many reasons..

Finding shit on bgol isn't as simple as just typing the movie name all the time

you call me a "liar" but don't post proof of my "lies" since I'm a "Liar " though doesn't make sense we continue :yes:

More bullshit. You named nothing. And we have just seen how overdramatized the Ledger "bashing" was. And now you wanna throw in a response to the Sentinels as if the board went apeshit on that as well. Serious bro, you're fucking delusional. At this point you are willing to paint ANY criticism as an outright riot and protest. Stop it man.

Green Latern , SuperMan Returns and Daredevil all made near or over 200million globally. Whats your point?

Read through the tread again. Ive pointed it out already.

what's wild is dudes don't even wanna debate whether or not he's a good choice but whether or not ppl can respond negatively + lying to "prove" it

First search engine on here is trash.. just searched to look for "xmen" and got all type of other non relevant topics


there's really some people who's it's not "worth it" to debate...they just refuse to see the other side niggas will minimize to fit their agenda fox news style

What has he gotten critical acclaim for as an actor?? And what acting gig did he "murder"? :confused::lol:

fyi- The Town was a good action flick and his acting was not what carried it. Argo he received recognition as a director son. A director!!!

:lol: You don't receive recognition as a "director" if you're not directing your actors. He was the lead in a film that got golden globe nods. You can't get that shit with a lead who can't act.

I don't know what you have against the guy. :lol: Its been nearly 10 years sincey Daredevil. He's done better shit since that flick man....

And Superman Returns and Green Lantern were trash because they had trash story's. Look at Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. You could've put 50 Tyson in the lead role and the movie still would've been good. Nolan was why that shit worked.

Ya'll worried about these lead actors but ya'll need to be worried about the writers, directors and producers behind these flicks.

Search feature acts up at times but it isnt as bad as some make it out to be. The spelling was probably x men or x-men. That makes a difference. What exactly were you looking for?
 
:lol: You don't receive recognition as a "director" if you're not directing your actors.
:confused:

The movie was heralded for the writing, screenplay. and directing. Not Bens acting. Thats my point. And again, even if i concede that he was great in Argo, does that one film negate the 20years of eggs he's layed?

I don't know what you have against the guy. :lol: Its been nearly 10 years sincey Daredevil. He's done better shit since that flick man....
Hes a bad actor. Its really that simple. How do you not know my issue with him and ive said it repeatedly sir?

And Superman Returns and Green Lantern were trash because they had trash story's.
The actors were trash also. And the point is the casting decisions were questioned, were valid, and were right.

Look at Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. You could've put 50 Tyson in the lead role and the movie still would've been good. Nolan was why that shit worked.
Agreed. But this further proves my point. Even if the movie is financially successful doesnt speak to the acting abilities or performances. Therefore, people have every right to express disappointment in casting decisions.

Ya'll worried about these lead actors but ya'll need to be worried about the writers, directors and producers behind these flicks.
Agreed. And the board comments on writers and directors often. But her we know the director is proven so the biggest question is can Ben pull it off and based on what we have seen from him a lot of us doubt it.

If you start saying silly shit like 50 Tyson as batman you're Grasping straws. Even as a joke. And Acting isn't directing or vice versa.
