Zack Snyder reveals Ben Affleck in Batman costume and new Batmobile!!!

6 Comments

 

When Ben Affleck was first announced to play Batman for the upcoming untitled, “Batman vs. Superman” flick… movie fans weren’t very kind and had very critical opinions of Ben in the role. Maybe all those critics will have a change of opinion to something more positive now that this photo finally came out. I think Ben looks really good as Batman and I think other fans would agree now.

This is why you can’t badly judge early, ya know?? 🙂

I think the new Batmobile looks cool too.

I kind of figure WB’s was still gonna still use the Dark Knight Batman which is predictable but the new suit does look a little different than the previous Batmans, though. The ears are a lot smaller which is what I like.

I think Ben has what it takes to play this role! I think he’ll kill it and will do a good job. I’m not a huge fan of Ben’s liberal politics but he always have been a good actor and director… I’ve always respected him.

I was hoping they would add some color to the Batman suit ’cause Batman had various styles of suits over the years. I was hoping they would ditch the black armor and rubber suit but guess not. Ben still looks badass, though!

Now lets see a photo of Gal Gadot in the Wonder Woman costume next please. 🙂

Leave a comment

 

Zack Snyder just dropped this tweet today. Giving us a little sneak peek of the new Batmobile that Ben Affleck will be driving for “Batman vs. Superman” film. In all the previous Batman films, the Batmobile was huge protected with black armor. Look like they’re not doing it that way with this new Batmobile. They’re going old-school it looks like.

Prince and Warner Bros. finally buries the hatchet… the Purple One will release re-issues and new album…

Leave a comment

Prince and Warner Bros. have feuded for years over some legal bullshit which I don’t know much about but the two finally decided to kiss and make-up. For a long while now, Prince have been releasing albums independently and now it looks like he is on a major label again. The deal will include a new album with new original songs, a re-issue of “Purple Rain”, and albums of unreleased material.

I wasn’t much of a big fan of Prince but I did like the “Purple Rain” album, though. Prince have been out of the mainstream spotlight for years now and looks like he’s about ready to make a huge comeback.

Will a world tour follow the new releases? A full fledged tour haven’t been announced yet but I wouldn’t surprised if that’s coming.

I’m sure his fans are excited and thrilled. He still has a huge fanbase out there.

Warner Bros. finally reveals “Batman: Arkham Knight” trailer…

Leave a comment

I played the first two Batman games: “Arkham Asylum” and “Arkham City”… both were great. I’m looking forward to this one too. This is the third Batman game by rocksteady, “Arkham Knight” which continues the trilogy. There is another Batman game called, “Batman: Arkham Origins” (which I have and haven’t started playing it yet) but that game isn’t by rocksteady studios.

I’m a big Batman fan and love these video games so I’ll be looking forward to this one.

Jessie Eisenberg is the new Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons is the new Alfred for “Batman vs. Superman”…

Leave a comment

So the big news today in the movie world is that Warner Bros. has found actors to play Lex Luthor and Alfred for the “Batman vs. Superman” film. Jesse Eisenberg who is most-famous for roles like, “Zombieland” and “The Social Network” is the new Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons who is most-famous as the leading villain for the film, “Die Hard With a Vengeance” is the new Alfred Pennyworth.

Sure enough, there are mixed opinions from movie fans about this casting. I’m noticing that people have no problem with Jeremy Irons as the new Alfred and I agree that’s a good choice but everyone has a problem with Jesse Eisenberg playing the new Lex.

Everybody’s complaining that Jesse is too young to playing Lex. I agree that Jesse is young. He’s like 30. Maybe they just want to go for a younger Lex this time around? In the “Man of Steel” film, they changed all the characters. In the first movie, the casting choices sparked some controversy especially the black Perry White who is played by Laurence Fishburne. When the movie came out… people had no problem with the casting and got positive responses.

I see Zack is doing the same thing with “Batman vs. Superman”. Making changes with the characters again. The reason they have to do this is this is Zack’s way of staying away from the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve films. Maybe they felt that an old Lex Luthor has been done to death so they’re gonna go for a younger Lex which is a good idea.

People are saying hateful things about Jesse playing Lex. People are already going, “uggghhh, this movie officially sucks”.

Do people have to be so opinionated and hateful this soon? I wouldn’t judge this early. I’m not saying whether or not Jesse’s a good choice but who knows, maybe he DOES have what it takes to play Lex. Maybe Jesse does have what it takes to be menacing and evil. I’m gonna wait ’til I see a trailer or something and then I’ll make my opinion on whether Jesse is a good choice or not.

People are quick at judging ’cause that’s the way the internet works. Popular opinion have always been a huge problem online.

I’m willing to give this a chance. I respect and have faith in Zack Snyder ’cause he’s clearly not afraid to go for what he wants for his films, not caring what the public thinks. He just gives what’s right for the film and that’s all I can say.

Why movie fans shouldn’t be hateful about Ben Affleck playing Batman…

Leave a comment

So the big news that the upcoming, “Superman vs. Batman” movie has been pushed way back to the Spring of 2016. The reason for this move is that Warner Bros. didn’t want this film to compete with the new “Peter Pan” movie ’cause you can betcha, “Peter Pan”, will be a huge box office movie and also, WB’s wanted to compete against Marvel for the “X-Men: Apocalypse” movie being released around the film’s new release date. Sure enough, this got movie fans all excited thinking that this move is going to replace Ben Affleck ’cause of his rumored injured leg. Movie fans in facebook and other movie sites has been saying hateful things about Ben Affleck, it’s crazy.

Ya know, I’m all for Ben Affleck playing Batman and I’m willing to give him a chance. You can’t badly judge him ’cause of his “Daredevil” role. Yes, he wasn’t the greatest as Daredevil, I agree that film was horrible but that film was in the past. Ben’s acting has improved and matured ever since then. Ever see, “Argo”, and “The Town”? He was phenomenal in those films.

When it comes to film, I try not to follow popular opinion. I’m all about MY opinion and my OPINION alone. I’m not gonna dislike this actor and dislike that movie ’cause many others dislike it. I’m all about being real. I don’t jump the bandwagon.

If you give him a chance, I think Ben is gonna make a great Batman. I think everyone will agree once the movie comes out. Zack Snyder knows his actors, he’s good at choosing them. He doesn’t pick an actor for no reason so when he picked Ben Affleck for Batman then there must be something about him. The thing is, I’m tired of all the good looking and pretty looking actors playing Bruce Wayne/Batman. Time for something different and unique. With Ben’s version of Batman… I don’t think you’re gonna see the Dark Knight character ever again. I think this Batman will have a different costume and new look. Zack changed all the characters for “Man of Steel”, he’ll do the same with Batman and Wonder Woman.

I wish movie fans wouldn’t be so opinionated and hateful. They shouldn’t badly judge when the movie haven’t even came out yet. At least wait until you see Ben in the new batsuit and then you might have a different opinion on him.

With all this being said, I think Ben is gonna kill it as the new Batman. It could be the Batman that we’ve all been looking for… just wait. Don’t judge this soon. Wait until you see photos, a trailer, etc.

If you look at Ben’s face, you can clearly see that a face like that is good for a mask… it is probably his mouth. When Ben wore the nun mask for, “The Town” film, I think that is partly what helped him get the Batman role. There’s something about Ben wearing the Batman costume that made them want to hire him. When the film crew are auditioning for actors to play in Superhero films the key for them getting the role is how good they look in the costume. If they look good enough, chances are, they’re gonna get hired. That’s the first thing they look at is how good they look in a costume. That’s how Henry Cavill got the role for “Man of Steel”.

Give Ben a chance. I have total faith in him and I think Ben is gonna play the better Batman than all the previous ones: Keaton, Clooney, Kilmer, and Bale. Trust me, Ben will make a great Batman.

Joaquin Phoenix as Lex Luthor for “Batman/Superman” movie??? Yes, please…

Leave a comment

Warner Bros. is interested in hiring Joaquin Phoenix for an unknown role for the upcoming “Batman/Superman” film and speculation is already going around that he could be playing Lex Luthor. Is Joaquin going to have to shave his head bald for this role?

More on the story, here:

I agree with this pick. Joaquin plays menacing and evil characters quite well, and he can be pretty scary!! Joaquin maybe a weird guy in real life but the man sure can act!

Maybe Lex won’t even be bald in the next film. Keep in mind, that Zack changes all the characters for his Superman movies so he might have a different vision for Lex as well. Maybe everybody is wrong and he could end up being the Flash or Green Lantern instead? Maybe even Jimmy Olsen?

Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman for “Batman/Superman” film…

4 Comments

Warner Bros., and Zack Snyder has announced that they have found their Wonder Woman for the upcoming, “Batman/Superman” film. Actress Gal Gadot has been hired to play Wonder Woman. I don’t know much about Gal Gadot. In fact, I’ve never even heard about her until she was announced for this film. Then I read that she was in a “Fast and Furious” film or two. I think I remember her from “Fast 6” when I saw that film in theater earlier this year.

WB’s choice of her is getting mixed opinions but I like the choice. She’s a total hottie. I’m reading a lot of complaints that people are saying that Gal is too skinny to be, Wonder Woman. I’m like really? Wonder Woman is supposed to be skinny. Lynda Carter was real skinny when she played the character for that TV show.

I’m excited for Wonder Woman… she’s finally gonna be on the big screen for the first time! If this film is a success which I’m sure it will be, hopefully Wonder Woman will be getting her own spin-off film. I’m sure Gal will play Wonder Woman for the “Justice League” movie as well. Can’t wait to see Gal in the Wonder Woman suit!!!

“Beetlejuice” sequel is on the way from Warner Bros. and Tim Burton???

Leave a comment

Tim Burton and Michael Keaton have both been planning a “Beetlejuice 2” in the media for many years, and it looks like the film might actually happen soon. Reports are saying that Mr. Burton is in negotiations with Warner Bros. to direct the follow-up to “Beetlejuice” that was released in 1988 (also starring Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis). They already have a script written by Seth Grahame-Smith for the sequel.

The plot of the sequel is unknown at this time but I hope it’s a “sequel” and not another lame re-boot. I hope the next film will leave off from the 1988 film.

It still might be a few more years until this movie actually happens ’cause Mr. Burton still has a few other projects in the works so “Beetlejuice 2” maybe a while. I’m glad this is happening ’cause I’m a huge fan of “Beetlejuice” myself. Michael just kills it with that role! I’m sure he’ll still kill it when he comes back to it! Michael maybe 62 but I’m sure he can still play the character very well. It’s gonna be interesting to see how they’re gonna pull off the sequel, though. Lets just hope they don’t do another version of the Banana Boat Song.

Also watch the older interviews in the videos below where Michael and Tim briefly discussed interest of revisiting the Beetlejuice character. They seem pretty game for it!

Ben Affleck is your new Batman and here are my thoughts…

Leave a comment

Like most, I am pretty surprised they picked Ben Affleck as the new Batman for the “Man of Steel” sequel. Warner Bros. announced the surprising news last night. Wow. They were pretty quick on hiring the new Batman so it looks like they’re in a rush. You see? Zack Snyder works fast, I wasn’t joking around.

To be honest, I think Ben is the perfect choice to play the role. Ben seems to be a fan of comics and superheroes himself as he has already played Daredevil, once for Marvel. The team behind the “Batman and Superman” film were looking for a slightly older Batman. I guess that’s the reason why Ben was picked ’cause he fit that perfectly. All the Batman’s from the past: Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale were all pretty young at the time when they were first hired for their roles. Ben in his 40’s. This would make Ben the 5th Batman actor.

A lot of people online are trashing their choice of Ben playing the new Batman/Bruce Wayne but give him a chance. I think Ben is gonna be great. He’s gonna look great in the suit, I’m sure. The Batman suit is probably gonna be a black and rubber suit again but hopefully they give it a new style. New look and new color. They changed the Superman suit around, some, they’re probably gonna do the same with the Batman suit. I’m looking forward to seeing what Ben is gonna look like in the Batman suit so I’m sure Warner Bros. will release a photo of it soon to show us.

In Ben’s defense, I think he’s a very talented actor. He always has been. He can play any role that throws at him, no matter the genre. Sounds like Warner Bros. want to give Batman a different feeling and Ben would be great for that. Give Ben a chance and don’t be so quick to judge. He’s gonna be awesome! I think Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck will be a great team-up!
