Thanks! I was asking so much because I'm writing a book, already have finished a screenplay, and I was looking for tips.

This is just so full of FAIL it's not even funny.

I'm deeply upset at this. So wish Bale would have returned as Batman.

But ****ing Ben Affleck?

Hey the might as well trot out an Aquaman movie starring Adrian Grenier...because this move is on that level of stupid/FAIL.

And CoMo writes Affleck's Oscar speech two years in advance.

It's pretty obvious Warner's wanted an A List star, who was late 30s to early 40s.

Jon Hamm isn't a big enough name. WB doesn't care about the lunatic fanboys who are complaining. Those guys will go see the movie anyways.

I'll be shocked if Affleck doesn't nail it. With he and Zach Snyder on set, it should be amazing.

That said, if it were up to me, I'd hire Affleck to direct and hire a different actor as Batman.

Hopefully, Affleck's sensibilities will rub off on Snyder.

Agreed. While I like Snyder more than you, ill admit there is room for improvement. He really impressed me with MoS though.

Bale was Batman for this Genre...... Better be awesome to escape that

Thanks to this thread, I just watched "The Town" for the first time and it was fantastic.

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.

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.

Brian Cranston being rumored as Lex Luthor as well going around

He and Mark Strong,

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