Ben Affleck is Chris Nolan's Top Choice For Superman Reboot

nolan should just do it thats what we all really want!!!

This is old news. According to Heat Vision, he already turned it down more than a week ago.

haha Seriously no, GOD no.

Ummmm.....I don't know about this.

I wonder what J-Lo thinks of all this Affleck hype after she ruined his acting career?

@dnno1
You're right. Superherohype.com had Affleck reported as passing on this.

@R3Animator
Not all of us want Nolan to direct it. he did a good job on the Batman movies because of his "keeping it realistic" views. He would be good to direct the mundane scenes, but get someone else for the action sequences. They were the only week points, IMO, in TDK and Inception. Well that and Batmans costume is horrible.

I'll second what CBArtist said. Not every fan wants to see Nolan direct this movie.

I'll also go a step further. Not everyone wants to see him involved in it at all. Some of us simply don't like the way he takes the 'comic book-ness' out of comic book characters.

I don't see him doing it. Very good director though.

I am extremely suprised at everyone's desire to see what Affleck can do. I'd love to see how this would turn out, but not enough to trust him with it lol.

I'd like to see someone with more experience do it. Someone who understands the character. And as the biggest Snyder fan, i don't think he's right for this. He focuses on visuals, which is why i love his work, but not for this.

And i actually kind of agree that Nolan would ruin Superman. You can't make it realistic and keep it Superman. Batman was able to be made real because it's a dark story and it's just a billionaire buying gadgets. Superman has to be beyond belief.

he kinda played superman in hollywoodland and looked the part, so why not?

Kind of ironic since Affleck was widely expected to BE Superman YEARS ago!

I like the idea of him goin to Kevin Smith. I wish directors wouldn't be such glory hogs and collabortate. We saw what happened with Sin City. I wouldn't trust either one of them for this project, but together they could do it.

We need a great director and one who really understands the character. MOre duel directors for CBMs would be sweet

Not to be "that guy", but I already reported this a few days ago.

If Nolan and Ben do this just change it to "Luther" and have Superman be supporting cast. That way he can film it much like batman very dark and have that real feel to it. But what eve I still watch anything that comes out.

i disagree @ajax..star trek was a hit...it made headlines everywhere and i know J.J ABRAMS can really pull it off with the MAN OF STEEL.... look lets b realistic....if NOLAN had any fate in Supes....he will direct it himself...but he dosnt... he would prefer sumone else to direct so wen it finally hits the screens n fans hate it...d director takes most of the heat as wl as warner...SUPERMAN is like CAPTAIN AMERICA...they are ICONS....its kinda hard to pull off successful movies for these characters but sincerely speaking whats going on wit captain AMERICA now...i hav high hopes of this movie bin a big hit all over the world...as long as joe johnston keeps his head down n directs an epic movie...the cast is fantastic so its the directing that needs to b perfect....SUPERMAN RETURNS was a bit ok by my standards but the cast just didnt do well n the directing was crappy....but Brandon ROUTH did great as the new superman...if only Singer hadnt made him behave like REEVES....SPACEY played lex pretty well...but the major letdown was the lois lane character...kate BOSWORTH wasnt the perfect choice for lois lane...she didnt have the hair...the looks or the typical loud mouth lois we all love and right now erica DURANCE from SMALLVILLE is definitely playing lois lane to the fullest...she is really pulling it off...her acting is great and she does have the looks and the hot body...SMALLVILLE is an imitation of the life of clark KENT before he becomes the iconic MAN OF STEEL...n frankly i know a lot of people dont like WELLING but he is doing a good job of playing the SUPES...he has acted the role for TEN SOLID YEARS...its fantastic the show lasted this long and warner kept it going because...heck everbody loves the MAN OF STEEL...he might b ready to eventually step into the shoes and play superman but it depends if he can really pull it off and get the audience and love of the worldwide fans...SUPERMAN IS MY ICON and i dont want another shitty actor to mess him up again on the BIG SCREEN....so please WARNER...make the right choice this time...if its WELLING...fine with me...if its sumone else...lets pray he can ACT....oh yea...this is my first major post so please ladies and gentlemen...fill free to comment...FOR or AGAINST...your choice peeps...

In the words of Ronnie from “Role Models”: F*ck you, Ben Afflek
