Chevy Chase on this last season of Community was odd. - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 22, 21:14 2

- Chevy Chase is going to play the Joker -- nm - Bacon Aug 22, 21:18
Why, I'm starting to think that Spawn doesn't know the *first thing* about Batman! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 22, 21:14

  - She just popped her head in the door and said, "Does this mean Matt Damon is Superman?" -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:01 5

Twitter: "Ugh, tell me they didn't actually cast Heath Ledger as The Joker. That's gonna be awful." --you, 6 years ago. -- nm - Tim Aug 22, 20:34 46
- That's so not true. I'd watch Heath Ledger in anything: A Knight's Tale, for instance. -- nm - Qale Aug 22, 20:57 1
  - Agreed. And (though in ways it was) it was not The Joker movie. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:17
- My favourite part of this is people pretending that the quality of Batman movies has depended on who plays Bruce Wayne. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:38 42
  - Yeah, that's kinda true. The first batman was good, but the second one sucked, and they had the same actor ... - Beryllium Aug 22, 20:41 41
    - Keaton was big at the time though. BA...is he big now? -- nm - colin Aug 22, 20:43 40
      - he was Mr. Mom. Mr. Mom is not Batman, or so a lot of people thought at the time -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 21:28 3
        
        But he was, and is, a good actor. It helped him break out of the comedy roles. -- nm - the liioulu with pizza Aug 22, 21:43
        
        I'm wildly amused by the Stallone suggestion in the article JD found. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:33
        
        38... 39... whatever it took. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 22, 21:32
      - Not the huge star Christian Bale was when he got the gig... - Cuzzin Todd Aug 22, 20:59 6

        "The kid from Newsies?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:00 4
        
        "Oooh, the Machinist!" -- nm - Tim Aug 22, 21:01 3
        
        Patrick Bateman. -- nm - JD Aug 22, 21:04 2
        
        *this* -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:04 1
        
        It pretty much is his Beetlejuice. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:04
      - Keaton was big as a comedic actor at the time -- nm - JD Aug 22, 20:52
      - "A Batman movie" then is nothing like "A Batman movie" now. I have now flipped and am hoping this *is* a Superman movie and Batman is just a smaller - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:45 7
        
        Like he won't be Batman in Justice League... -- nm - David Aug 22, 21:29
        
        regardless, i think i hate snyder as a director. Doubt I'll go to theaters for the next one. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 20:50 5
        
        Like I said on B2, there is a good chance I will never see it. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:03 4
        
        It was painful. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 21:06 3
        
        I don't like Superman. Never have. But I enjoyed every Superman movie they made (yeah, Quest was bad, but still), even Returns. But nothing about... - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:15 2
        
        you haven't seen it. so you can't comment on what you haven't seen. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 21:29 1
        
        L3! - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:31
      - You mean the director/star of the reigning Best Picture? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 20:44 19
        
        I'm gonna go with big. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 22, 20:58
        
        He's acting in 1 movie this year, directing 1 movie next year. The academy likes him, but that's not what a big actor looks like. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 20:48 17
        
        Ben is a humbled superstar. He is not a huge star because he made that choice to not be one - Will Hunting Aug 22, 21:00 1
        
        But it's more for his directing and writing than his acting. - the liioulu with pizza Aug 22, 21:07
        
        (also, To The Wonder is really a this year movie) -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:59
        
        Michael Keaton's 1986-1988: Gung Ho, Touch and Go, The Squeeze, Beetlejuice (which was not as big a hit as you think), Clean and Sober - Reagen Aug 22, 20:57 13
        
        Sure, but Keaton made more sense for Batman at the time (a little goofy). Just don't get Affleck. -- nm - colin Aug 22, 21:06 12
        
        Ummm, actually no. Not according to the fans at that time - JD Aug 22, 21:12 10
        
        Right. People are giving in to revisionist history. - Reagen Aug 22, 21:24 9
        
        Like I said, it is a different animal though. All the way around. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:30 7
        
        Clooney was "the ER guy". And was, in fact, a good Batman in a terrible Batman movie. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:32 6
        
        Clooney was a great Bruce Wayne, an okay Batman, in a horrible Batman movie. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:34 2
        
        Right. So I will give you that you're right to be concerned about the Zach Snyder part - Reagen Aug 22, 21:36 1
        
        And when you get right down to it, the real reason that 60 mil was not enough to get Bale back. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:41
        
        I thought kilmer was alright. O'donnell ... not so much. - Beryllium Aug 22, 21:34 2
        
        O'Donnell is wrong for everything that requires more than two emotions. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:34 1
        
        He finally found his niche in NCIS:LA. -- nm - the liioulu with pizza Aug 22, 21:42
        
        Just like they do with Ledger -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 21:26
        
        I guess if you could pick a reason and stick with it, it'd be helpful. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:07
- Yes, very true. But heath ledger had proven talent, Ben Affleck is clearly a talentless hack. --nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 20:35
If ever there was proff that pixie is gone forever, this is it. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:33 2
- what happened w/ him? -- nm - samara Aug 22, 20:47 1
  - He got tired of always being wrong and me always being right. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:00

- Whoop whoop - sent mine today. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 22, 20:17
After careful consideration of the Batman casting news, I have decided to be calm and mature about it. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:16 15
- I mean who would want to see a comedic actor take the role. He can't do serious movies... - Remlik Aug 22, 20:30 3
  - Yes. Lets roll back the movie to the caliber of those of the 80s. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:31 2
    - the first one was definitive Batman for years. So much so until the Bale films. It influenced the direction of the Animated Series & everything that - Remlik Aug 22, 21:31 1
      - Exactly, but it had nothing to live up to. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 21:32
- It's not that I object to him being Batman. I just want him to do other stuff. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 22, 20:22 6
  - In an extremely uncomfortable place? -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:23 5
    - like direct, you perv -- nm - loosi at home Aug 22, 20:23 4
      - yes! does this mean he is out of Gone Girl? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 22, 20:29 3
        
        That is an interesting question. -- nm - David Aug 22, 21:32
        
        what about the Whitey Bulger movie with Matt Damon?I need that one. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 22, 20:59 1
        
        they've said that's years out if it ever happens. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 21:25
- I'm hoping that if I don't acknowledge it aloud it won't be true -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 20:20 1
  - I can picture Bruce talking about people with no shopping agenda. - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:29
- Why is Ben Affleck trying to illegally stick it to Spawn?!?!?!?!! nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:18 1
  - effin' Shannon Hamilton! -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 20:20
