While I really did enjoy Bale as Batman, I still think Keaton was the best Batman.

Keaton sucked, brah. SUCKED. Campy, 60's Batman was ****ing AWESOME.

And **** Ben Aftard. This is truly a god-awful Hollywood decision. Dane, what was your part in all this?

Awesome!

If you watch it a few more times, you'll likely pick up on subtleties you missed the during the first viewing. Depth is such a "good" thing and IMO, Affleck has really blossomed into an A-list director.

Joss Whedon seems to like Affleck as the new batman.

He and Mark Strong,

Personally, I think Strong is too obvious but he'd be great nonetheless.

Ooooh, Strong would be perfect for that role.

As good as Whedon is as a storyteller, you have to admit he lets things get to him.

That and he takes killing off main characters to a level only George RR Martin has reached and for less acceptable reasons.

I really wanted Mark Strong as Javert.

Underrated actor for the majority. His work in Body of Lies was absolutely fantastic.

I like Ben Affleck. Very underrated. That said, this would probably be bad news if I wasn't already planning on skipping this movie. The first one was terrible and it looks like they are right on pace to churn out another turd.

Zack Snyder = Mark Steven Johnson

This would almost be a shame because he would be SO good and I know the film wouldn't live up to his performance.

Bryan Cranston would be an awesome Lex Luthor.

Bryan Cranston has reportedly been cast as Lex Luthor in the Batman/Superman team-up sequel to Man of Steel.

The Breaking Bad star is said to have signed up to play Superman’s long-time nemesis for a minimum of six films which could extend to ten.

An official announcement of Cranston’s casting will apparently be scheduled for after Breaking Bad finishes in order for the news to ride the wave of the finale, say Cosmic Book News.

A source told the website: ‘Cranston truly is a dream casting for Luthor’.

Bryan will be joining a cast which includes Henry Cavill as Superman, and Ben Affleck who was revealed to have been cast as Batman this week.

People who were against Affleck landing the part – and there were quite a few – may not be pleased to hear the latest reports which say the Argo director and star could allegedly play Bruce Wayne for a total of 13 films.

Mark Strong was previously rumoured to be in line for the role of Lex Luthor, but having already appeared in one DC film (Green Lantern as Sinestro) was a factor in DC deciding not to go with him, as they are interested in having him play the part a second time.

The hotly-anticipated Batman/Man of Steel film is out in 2015.

Holy Shit

13 films? JFC They won't make it to 3.
