Just heard about this about 20-30 minutes ago. In all honesty, I don't think it's a big deal. I mean, they had Clooney as Batman for a few movies ( Y'know, the ones that were, and still are, alright for the 90s(Was it the 90s?))and he was crazy-dramatic. I haven't seen a lot of movies recently with Ben Affleck in them, but I don't see how he's going to fall flat on the floor.

You know I really don't mind... Batman used to be light-hearted, I mean really.
Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb.

I wonder if anyone actually watched this movie, other than the bomb scene.

Dude, this movie and TV show WAS Batman for most people for many years.

Yeah, I watched it a while ago, it definitely wasn't bad, it was however campy/cheesy.
I understand how they're attempted to reach out to older "more mature" audiences, but when you look back it's like... "Wait a second, this was at one time meant to be suitable for everyone, even children?!"

Why wouldn't it be? There is no sex, violence or strong language, no use of alcohol or other substances, and everything looks cartoonish. It's pretty much PG-13 at worst.

Uhh... which Batman movies are you talking about? The Dark Knight ones are well... kinda dark.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I'm sure it was rated PG or possibly even G. However the part about "reaching out to more 'mature' audiences" was in reference to today's more recent films.

Can't tell if joking but the comment made me sad inside anyways...

WOW, that is so funny to see today (first time I see this in my life).
Gonna get me this movie and watch it right away. :D
edit: watching it right now, the bat ladder, shark, shark repellent, and riddle-er had me in tears, this movie is pure gold.

And still is in the new Batman '66 comics! (Which IMHO, are pretty good!)

Everyone moaning about Ben Affleck being Batman is far more entertaining than the movie was every likely to be. People being butthurt over casting decisions if fucking ridiculous

Thank you. Now I can judge this. I think he will surprise us. The more concerning question is if the people who disapprove of Affleck as Batman the same ones that didn't like the idea of Heath Ledger as the Joker. Cause we all know how that ended.

Ben Stiller would be Alfred... Actually, yeah, I'm not being sarcastic.
Possibly Commissioner Gordon.

I NEED A THROAT LOZENGE! <--- Batman in his last movies.

Ruin the franchise...? Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis? There's been like 7 different reboots of the Batman movies.

He is probably the worst casting that could happen. I still do not understand why they did not go with Brolin or Armitage, he will be just an idiot in a suit, with his pathetic acting skills. He is a great director, but as an actor, he is just one of the worst Hollywood has to offer.
Comment has been collapsed.
He's pretty much Ryan Reynolds, both in look an in acting capability, I don't get all the hate...

I didn't like Heath Ledger until he did the Joker. He's the best joker we've ever had and we probably won't have another joker for a long time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, people did say the same thing about Heath Ledger as Joker until the photos came out...I say give him a chance. I can name a few actors that have already played Batman that Ben could sweep under the table.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or maybe they should bring back Jim Carrey to be the Joker in this reboot?
He was already the Riddler... :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it was alright... It was just a little bit weird/strange.
That was probably the best Two Face as well.

What is wrong with you people?! The Joel Schumacker Batman's should have both been aborted before production began...especially his second. He went from making a pretty bad Batman movie (Forever) to perhaps the worst film of all time (& Robin).
Comment has been collapsed.
THE WORST film of all time? You sir have yet to watch Frogs. Yes, that is correct... Frogs...
Comment has been collapsed.
Everyone knows that the worst film of all time is Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Worst doesn't just mean badly made... it has more to do with how boring it is and the whole "What was the point...?"ness of it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately boredom and existential questioning are too subjective. For instance I wasn't too thrilled about The Shawshank Redemption, and according to IMDB it's the best movie of all time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Jim Carrey solely made Forever the awesomest of the series. Val Kilmer was pretty good batman, better than Bale if you ask me and superior to Clooneys nipplesman. But even &Robin is salvaged by Arnie, he was pretty good, worst of the Batman movies but far from "of all time".
Comment has been collapsed.
A few people on IMDB think otherwise.
Ratings: 3.6/10 from 135,394 users Metascore: 28/100
Not to mention how badly it bombed at the box office
Budget: $125,000,000 (estimated)
Gross: $107,285,004 (USA) (19 September 1997)

Warner's was rumored last year to have offered Affleck directorial duties with the option to star (in an unnamed role) in the delayed/aborted Justice League film, so him being cast as Bats isn't entirely unsurprising. If Batman vs. Superman is successful and they do in fact move forward on Justice League, Affleck will no doubt be announced as director at some point.
