Confirmed: NOT satire. Reported as a blue-eyed fact on Ain’t It Cool News.

Not sure they made the right choice.

It’s getting quite sad.

Daredevil star Ben Affleck says he will never step into superhero tights ever again.

"By playing a superhero in Daredevil, I have inoculated myself from ever playing another superhero. Wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn't want to do again soon."

Never mind.

I see his character is Raymond Sellars. Is that the slimy businessman? Keaton can play a good slimy guy.

One thing about a remake, there’s no such thing as a spoiler. Everyone knows what’s going to happen.

He is too much a dough boy for that role

No. Batgirl.

Not exactly what I would call an inspired choice. Hell, they could have gone back to George Clooney and probably done at least slightly better. It should have been Bale, and even if the $50 million turn-down story is true Nolan could have made it worth his while from a plot/story point of view.

My teens hated Man of Steel, they said it was incoherent, dark and ultimately boring because the action scenes where just too long.

Solely for the unscripted ad-lib “I’m Batman”.

Bale owned it, much like he does every other character he plays.

“The Machinist” was incredible.

Boring is right. Even the fight scene at the end. After about 45 minutes I said ENOUGH, just finish this.

Backroom deal by his publicists and agents trying to jumpstart his otherwise dead career.

Probably, but does he have to destroy a franchise in the process?

I`m no Batman fan but Affleck is to acting what wet bread is to a sandwich.AND he looks `slow ` and dim. But hey...maybe Superman will kill him!
