Im waiting for an actor from a batman movie series to say "BEN AFFLECK WILL SUCK BIG FAT DICKS!!" But in a more respectable way to not tarnish their reputation. Maybe closer to the movie release.


FYI I love the choice of Ben Affleck as Batman, im just having fun.

"It's a different outlook" A knight's way of saying it's going to be horseshit.

Caine's Alfred was phenomenal. Everything Alfred should be. You want a horseshit Alfred, go watch Gotham.

Michael Caine was an amazing Alfred. I can't wait to see what Jeremy Irons brings to the role!

"There hasn't been any word on who will portray Alfred in BvS: Dawn Of Justice, so that leads me into the following question"

Jeremy Irons is playing Alfred

I liked Caine as Alfred, just wish that Alfred didn't leave Bruce in TDKR! The lack of Alfred in TDKR was actually depressing for me.

If this movie is meant to be the idealistic alien, humans before all else Superman, and this is supposed to be the grizzled weathered Batman who’s been living in Gotham, fighting crime himself for 10 years, you need a guy who’s older, you need a guy who’s got more weight, you need a guy that a Henry Cavill Superman is gonna be actually scared of." -Seth Green

I don't exactly see where he said the casting was "shitty"...

And if you're going to give any credit to Seth Green, your opinion has been rendered moot.

"...to go on and throw a nod of support towards Clooney when even George had said how he helped ruin Batman, gave all of Seth's credibility a trip down a gaping pit." -@RaxNibune

Only problem with Alfred in TDKT was in the Begins, he said he'd never give up on Bruce, yet in TDKR, he leaves him and doesn't come back till his "funeral".

@MisterBatfleck He didn't give up on Bruce. He just didn't want to have to go through the pain of burying someone he cared about because of their reckless behavior.

Hey Wonderer...the Alfred portrayed in Gotham is most likely the EARTH ONE version of Alfred...then again I know you dont read comics and probably think the films are canon..
