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
