Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne and there’s nothing fans can do about it despite attempts such as the petition which is just a silly idea. From looking at the comments on CBM movies I have compiled some very rough and slightly untrue figures on the general attitude towards it:
41% don’t want Affleck in the role
33% think we should give him a chance because of the Joker previously having been a good looking gay cowboy
26% are amazed by how controversial this is and by how many comments there are
17% think Affleck would is a great choice for Batman/Bruce Wayne
13% think that he has won Oscars for his acting so must be good (these people are idiots)
10% are DC fans saying all the comments are by Marvel trolls
8% are saying that we all need to get lives
6% are Marvel trolls
4% are written in incomprehensible gibberish
2% are proper Marvel trolls (as in the big, green, dim witted, and scary things (they could be responsible for the gibberish))*
As I said these facts aren’t completely true in the strictest sense of the word
*Contains traces of bulls**t
I will now address each one of these.
I’m with the 41% as I don’t want to see Affleck in the role but think that a petition is a waste of time as all petitions are. I also think that killing him is a little extreme (at least wait to see if he does well or not)
The 33% who reference the uproar against Heath Ledger in my opinion are making a poor contrast. Heath Ledger had proven himself as a great actor who could play just about any role brilliantly. Ben Affleck has proven himself as a great director but has yet to impress me with any of his acting (I doubt Affleck gives a single monkey poo about impressing me and this is not what he is aiming for)
The 26% are wasting everyone’s time with their comments. Of course there are lots of comments. It’s Batman. Everyone gets excited when there is Batman
I don’t agree with the 17% personally, nor can I see where they are coming from. He just isn’t right for the role because he can’t do badass
As said before the 13% are idiots. He has only won Oscars for directing and writing
The 10% need to shut their whining and remember this rule: if you are trolled then you troll back
The 8% need to go to a different site. What is CBM for if not getting arguing about the casting of Batman
Can the 4% please have their keyboards confiscated until they learn to write? If they persist then they must be shot (I hope that doesn’t seem a little too grammar Nazi)
The 2% should also be shot as they are dangerous
Please leave comments on who you think should play Batman opposite Henry Cavill. In my next article I was make address each of your suggestions and tell you how wrong you are. Unless you choose correctly in which case I will tell the world (the part that reads the article at least) that you are a gentlemen of lady of exquisite taste.
