I agree no one was upset or mad but his casting was so out of left field that it def got a :what: from everybody.

Yeah like i said nobody saw it coming. For the longest time it was supposed to be a Tom Cruise flick (before people knew how batshyt insane he was), after he dropped out fans were throwing out all kinds of random actors for the role then BAM out of nowhere they cast RDJ. People forget RDJ wasn't even the first person cast for that movie, Terrence Howard was.

Why do people keep mentioning shyt like The Town and Argo?

Ben Affleck DIRECTED those films. Zack Snyder is the one directing Superman/Batman.

When has Zack Snyder ever shown himself to be capable of bringing the best ouf ot Average actors? In Man of Steel he wasn't even able to get the best out of Michael Shannon.


Ben Affleck is a GREAT director, Ben Affleck is a GREAT writer. As an Actor Ben Affleck isn't all that great. He's good most of the time, has occasionally been VERY good, and has been downright horrible quite a few times. I Don't think it's a coincidence that his best performances are typically in films he's written and directed.,

Obviously some people are going overboard with the hate, but people are also going overboard in defending a obviously questionable casting decision.

Ben Affleck was hired to ACT in these films, not direct or write the screenplays. There were a ton of FAR superior actors they could have chosen for the role.
Wtf? Michael Shannon was great as zod. Fukk you smoking?

He knows daredevil was a flop. a decade later hes a better actor and will probably see this as a huge challenge to take on. this is a huge deal to an actor like affleck. He will put the work in and be good

I'm pretty sure the informed moviewatching public was very concerned about RDJ - you need to watch Less Than Zero and you will see all what we grown folk thought about RDJ doing anyting but chilling in the Betty Ford Clinic. Although it's a work of fiction (Going back to Cali was created for the soundtrack), he played that part so well on screen - and then - GASP he was a full on pariah ass druggie.

Give the Ben boy a chance, he's got mouths to feed

With Robert Downey Jr, not enough people cared about Iron Man to begin with. Most people were still wondering if he was out of rehab, but you also had people that thought that he could excel in role the role, if he was serious and they also incorporated Tony Stark's addiction. But overall, Downey has always been a great actor. Affleck is a mediocre actor

:dead: @ nerds biggest complaint being daredevil


even though that movie came out 10 years ago and he had nothing to do with writing, directing, producing....:stopitslime:

Michael keaton was in mr. mom before batman

heath ledger was a gay cowboy before dark knight

nerds complained about them and both did an excellent job

:stopitslime: Why are you acting hurt? These Nolan riders kill me, the Batman movies he made were trash, the villains namely Ledger was the only saving grace kid. "Just stop breh."
