He’s tall, dark and — well, he’s definitely tall and has dark hair and once played the real-life role of Jennifer Lopez’s man candy.

But is Ben Affleck man enough to play “Batman?”

Controversy erupted across social media networks when Warner Bros. announced Thursday the 41-year-old Affleck will star in the newest version of the Dark Knight, a movie that promises to bring Batman and Superman together.

Nah, he peaked in Mallrats when he played the scumbag salesman at “Casual Male” who liked to have sex with teenage girls “in a very uncomfortable place”.

Whoa, a movie based on a comic book? What’s next, films derived from amusement park rides or video games? How original.

Did the idiots who casted this clown not see “Daredevil”????

I am not an Ben Affleck fan, but Daredevil was not all his fault. It was a crappy script with lousy direction as well.

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He’s way better than Ben Affleck.
And now, all I can think about is your smile,
and that shi—y movie, too!
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.

Wonder how many of the petition signers are low information voters? Who cares the country is being flushed down the sewer. I’m made at who gets the part of Batman. /sar

Adam is one of the few open conservatives in Hollywood. He writes for Big Hollywood.

Can’t see Affleck as Batman. MetroBoy, yes, Batman, no.

Adam Baldwin’s not related to Alec in any way, save sharing a last name.

Yes, go ahead. Let’s have a PC Batman complete with kneepads and a pink outfit, not to offend anyone.

Please, no violence above bitc*-slapping. Then have long discussions on how society caused the criminal to turn to crime so we can feel sorry for him.

Better yet, forget the Batman I read in the 60’s he was from a different generation. We believed in Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and John Wayne.

The liberals need to make a movie based on their own ideals.

I would suggest “PansyMan” with pink shorts and big kneepads who kneels down, pisses his pants and begs for the criminal to change and not to end his miserable life.

PansyMan would not use a gun, that is not allowed. Screaming like a little girl would be more appropriate.

When he gets his panties in a wad, then the criminal would miraculously see the error of his ways, and apply for foodstamps and free housing and a welfare check, and then society will be safe.

Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen.

OTOH, that did give me a great mental image of Johnny Depp as Batman. It would be...memorable...
