We have officially announced that Ben Affleck will play Batman in the new Superman movie. This is the most confused piece of new cinematics we have heard for a while. The film comes out in 2016 and there are already so many fans comments, it is amazing. It's a bad deal. The legendary Batman went to the head with Superman. And who are launched to bring Batman, the black knight, the crusader wearing back to the big screen? Ben Affleck. What?
The reactions to this ad have been even more confused. The fans did not know what to think. Certainly, it can not be true. At first, everyone and their mother were angry and indignant by this choice. "Ben Affleck can not be the new Batman, he must be a mistake. It's not right for the role! "And then there is somehow changed" could actually be ok, maybe even well. From now on everyone tries to keep hope that Ben Affleck will surprise us and the film will actually be good, but there are still many those who hate there.
For those who do not know what is the big problem - here is a short list of arguments most often used for and against Ben Affleck taking on the role of Batman.
Why Affleck should not play Batman:
1.It has already played a superhero.And this movie bombed. Remember 2003 Daredevil? No? Exactly. Of course, it was not the only fault of the affliction that the film navalized. The film was just a multi-level catastrophe. But you would think that would prevent him from wanting to play a mask and play a superhero again. It can not possibly bring back happy memories.
2.It are not intimidating enough.Think about it. Can you imagine being intimidated by Ben Affleck? He does not really hit fear in the hearts of people. Its soft facial features and easy way, evoke redness and laughter. His good appearance and charm would work for Bruce Wayne, but not for Batman. The character of Batman is one of the complexities and rage and mystery. Ben Affleck is probably a brilliant guy, but we have never really seen it in a role that would encompass all these features. It simply does not seem to possess gravitas for this role. In addition, it is difficult to think that it is mysterious when it is as famous as well as Ben Affleck.
3. It's George Clooney again.It's been 20 years since "Batman and Robin" from Clooney, but we always shudder in memory. Does Hollywood tries to cash famous actors? Do they really think it's going to walk? Remember how everyone thought Clooney was wrong for the role and how everyone expected the movie sucks? And they were right. Batman and Robin actually exceeded expectations on the size of this film. It is the same. It did not work with Clooney and it will not work with Affleck.
Why this could actually work:
1.The age is working on its advantage.This Batman is supposed to be older and wiser. The fact that Affleck is in its forties should help. You may think that the Affleck does not look old, but there are pictures that surround the internet of him seems tired and quite robust, and that's how they make him look at The film that it could really work. In addition, released images, you can see that Ben is really focused. He looks massive, so you know he works hard for this movie.
2.It has experience.He really turned his career and became an excellent director. It looks like he learned a few lessons and I hope I do not make the same mistakes. He even had another Oscar. There is hope that we will not see another Fiasco de Daredevil.
3.The Grand Book Heath phenomenon.Everyone doubted him when he was launched like the joker. Fans have risen from everywhere. Were they false. Heath surprised everyone with his brilliant performance. These days when you hear Joker's mentions, you can not stop you from associating it with Heath Ledger. He did the role of his own. She is the joker. Maybe Ben Affleck could do the same thing?
As you can see opinions vary. Even Ben Affleck himself had doubts at first. "When they asked if I would be Batman, I told them that I do not see myself in the role and I was going to have to ask. They said I would like to understand how they would approach the character and asked me to look at what the writer-director, Zack Snyder did. Things were incredible. [...] It was a single outlet on Batman who was always in conformity with mythology. It made me excited. Suddenly, I had a reading of the character. When people see it, it will make more sense than it does it now, or even that it did not get me initially. "- Said Affleck. [Mike Fleming and Playboy Magazine - Via Latin Review]
Batman vs. Will Superman be the biggest movie of all time or go flop? We do not know. But we keep our fingers crossed, there is a serious kick.
