It’s a disaster already.

I never understood why they cast Michael Keaton in the role.

Everybody wants to see a well written Batman-Superman movie. This movie would almost be a guaranteed success, no matter who played the part. This part could easily have gone towards some no-name actor who could bring credibility to the part.

Why pick a big name, that most people couldn’t see bringing credibility to the part?

Keaton! I think he did a better job than say, Kilmer or Klooney.

Christian Bale redefined the character. Affleck will invariably be compared to Bale, and will come up wanting.

I think the fact that it was one of the first movies to cross the $400 million mark speaks to its success.

Almost anybody would come up short against Bale. He’s a high water mark.

I like Keaton (when was the last time he did a movie?).

Just my opinion, he’s no Batman.
