But he's not set to play Robin though.

I think 2WL was alluding to the fact that Affleck and Damon often make movies where they have a Batman-and-Robin like relationship.

Its a joke, CF, since they always used to star in movies together.

I would of thought that as well but well several people i know have already made that assumption in all seriousness.

Affleck is too comical to play the serious role of batman, doesn't fit him.

That's exactly how I feel ILN.

What happened to Christian Bale?

I personally welcome the change. TDKR was awful and I look forward to a return to the days of Danny DeVito and Jim Carrey.

@2WL
I think this is even more blasphemic than what you're doing in Sbyvl's thread. How is Bale not awesome?

Bale's batman retired and is living with Catwoman.

The best Batman would be Jim Caviezel. He is wickedly dark in his humor and his character on Person of Interest fits the Dark Knight perfectly if you put a mask and cape on him.

Just so you know what we're dealing with here

I've seen Alex O'Loughlin tossed about too and he would work a hell of a lot better than Affleck. But I guess Jim and Alex have some sweet deals going with their TV shows right now.

Sigh. He won't be that bad. Remember this?

True, and Ledger probably had his best performance ever as the Joker. I'd be hard pressed to pick between him and Jack Nicholson.

They had two very different takes on how to play theJoker. Personally I like Ledgers but only narrowly over Nicholson.

Yeah, Nicholson was gangster seriously pissed off at Batman while Ledger was just crazy whack job wanting to have some fun and screw *everyone* over in the process.

But Affleck had his turn as a superhero and failed in Daredevil. He shouldn't get another shot to fuck up a beloved character.

Jack Nicholson's joker was Jack Nicholson playing Jack Nicholson with funny makeup. Heath Ledger OWNED that role.

As for Affleck, there are plenty of examples of examples of perceived miscasting that, when the final product hit the Big Screen, the perception was instantly obliterated. Anne Rice was horrified when she found out that Tom Cruise had been cast as Lestat in Interview With a Vampire, but as soon as she saw a screen test, she was instantly won over. You can't judge a meal while the ingredients are all still in the fridge.

I like that quote. May have to put it in the quote of the day thread along with "Spoon!" and "I am the night."
