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. |

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. |

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

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. |

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.

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. |
