Way off on Anne Hathaway, IMO.

Does anyone think it will keep the movie from making truckloads of money? For every pissed fanboy who says he won't see it (and most of them probably will anyway), there will be 2 moms/girlfriends/lemming movie-viewers that will go.

Hollywood doesn't care about pleasing the lunatic fringe, they care about making money.

Affleck has previous experience as a superhero -- he played Daredevil in the 2003 film of the same name.

That movie sucked...

Name 3 movies that Affleck played a major role in where he was good. I guess maybe if Batman is from Boston, this could work.

Really?

What was Hathaways role in the movie?

Literally all I can remember of Catwoman was that she was a thief that wanted a clean slate and blew up a blockade. The whole character felt like an afterthought with no purpose beyond what a civilian could/would do.

If you thought bale played millers dark knight you are stupid. I did not say he was a bad batman.

And rourke basically played miller batman in sin city.

I guess I should not expect more from an clueless idiot trying to chime in on comic book movies.

Encapsulated a version of Catwoman I personally endorse, independent, avoiding interaction, self-interested and defensive, but ready to strike brutally, quickly and efficiently when cornered.

Basically 'leave me alone and let me achieve my objectives, and if you confront me head on, you'll find out you are by no means in charge here.'

Hollywoodland (irony there), The Town and Argo.

I think the bigger issue is that it's going to be hard to see Bruce Wayne on screen and not Ben Affleck.

I guess we watched 2 different versions of the movie.

She spent the whole movie running around doing other peoples work, pretty much a 180 from someone "in charge" and her big role to helping Batman stop Bane was using Batmans bike to blowup a blockade.

If there wasn't a cat suit in the movie you'd have a hard time figuring out that was suppose to be Catwoman.

I don't know if these count as "major" roles, but he was great in:
-Dazed and Confused
-Boiler Room

This might be nuts, but could Jon Hamm have pulled it off?

And I had to go look this guys name up, but wouldn't this dude have been an awesome 'older' batman as well?

Joe Manganiello (I don't know if anyone would've recognized the name). Dude's already built like a truck and I think he was in Spiderman, so it's not something he's unfamiliar with.

Affleck? Suck pick. Even if Hamm couldn't have done it, Manganiello would've killed it.

EDIT: I see I Q'd the Jon Hamm suggestion.

Because moms and chicks dig superhero flicks.

I think it was going to be VERY tough to pull off, but so much negative publicity I think it's sunk before it sets sail if it's anything other than a top notch movie which I had doubts about even if Bale played Batman.

Manganiello would have at least been interesting and made me want to check it out to see how he'd do. Affleck makes me want to stay the **** away from this shit.
