He's really grown as an actor, you might be surprised how good he is in this... people said those same things about Ledger as the Joker, Cruise as Lestat etc.

Affleck is a much better actor now then he used to be. I was pissed when Ledger got the role, i say give him a chance.

Yep, The Town sold me on the idea that he isnt the same guy from Armageddon or Gigli anymore... he has legit gravitas these days.

The first Superman movie wasn't all that bad. They should have stuck with just him and introduced Lex in the 2nd movie. The 3rd movie is when you bring Batman in if you absolutely have too. It's too ****ing soon after Nolan's Batman. And it's watering down Superman.

I can agree. Superman has some legitimately good villains out there. Brainiac, Luthor, Darkseid, Doomsday, etc.

Problem is though, once you introduce those guys, what use do we have for a Batman? (Realistically speaking)

I agree that they should've had a real all out Superman movie and are rushing into this. That said, no choice and i dont have high hopes but hope for a nice suprise.

Yep, and I liked him in Argo as well.

Well I'll be the first to say that I never wanted Batman in the new Superman movies at all. To me....Nolan's Batman was the pinnacle. It was never going to get better than that. But if you had to bring him in.....then you give Superman a couple of movies and you spin it off into the Justice League.

The only person that's proved he can direct Ben Affleck is Ben Affleck. Until someone else does it, he is the guy from Gigli and Armageddon.

I was trying to think of the other movie I loved him in, and thats the one... he can pull off Batman just fine IMO.

heh, ok

Seriously though.....Hans Zimmer is a genius. The Man of Steel Soundtrack is tits.

Seriously... even since he did The Town and Argo, he did Runner Runner. The guy is not a solid bet, at all. And the only two things he's done that he was really ****ing good in, he directed.

So are you saying he cant act.....or he cant pick good projects outside of his directorial efforts?

I'm saying he's the only person so far that has been able to direct him into a good performance.
