Batman is now a wimp.
Might as well get Adam West if they are stooping this low.
Affleck as Batman? Well, Woody Allen was James Bond once...ick...
“Keaton was good, I thought.” Very good, very underrated. I remember seeing the first one he was in on a date at the movies.
Bale, to me overall, is tolerable in small doses. I still think “American Psycho” was his best work. If he did turn down $50 million for ~20 minutes of screen time, wow.
100% agree - the Kilmer flick was better than the Clooney flick, not that that says much.

It's on YouTube, so I can fill in one of the many holes left by tv programmers during my youth.

For Superman it's the same thing - he must be portrayed having leadership qualities that other super-powered beings would want to look up to and follow. Earnest, but a warrior. Chris Reeve definitely could have pulled it off. I think Cavill could - hopefully the next movie will be set a few years in the future. One of the aspects I did not like about MOS was his (and the other Kryptonians) ability to adapt and use their newly discovered powers.
The best depiction of Batman/Superman is the JLA animated shows. Just follow that
...and now we get Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman???
Maybe Affleck can bring some extra sandwiches next time on set, because Ms. Gadot is going to need them. I now she’s a former Miss Israel, but Wonder Woman? Really?
