Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (film)

Not saying this will have the same results, but this made me laugh. Remember 2006 when they announced Ledger as the Joker? I sure as hell do....

I'm willing to see this crapfest if Ben promises to die like Heath did. That's the only deal I'm willing to make. And yeah, I was, and still am, one of those naysayers on Heath playing the Joker. Should've called Crispin Glover. That guy's perfect.

And yeah, I was, and still am, one of those naysayers on Heath playing the Joker. Should've called Crispin Glover. That guy's perfect. Appearances and talent are two totally different things. There's a reason Glover hasn't done much worth mentioning since that rat movie. He's an ass and doesn't have the talent to back up that attitude. It amazes me how people get this bent out of shape over casting news. Wishing someone would lose their life? Seriously??

Calm your tits, I was being jokey about the offer. And you're talking more Crispin of "back in the day". My guess is he's probably been humbled since the whole BTTF days, and resulting lean years. I've heard no complaints in many of his more recent, and often kick ass, roles/movies. The guy is a fantastic actor, I wasn't just going by looks. I know you have mucho love/boner for Ledger, but that's how I feel. I don't believe he did anything to wow in a movie that was kinda snoozy. Admittedly, I wish people could hear my/your/our comments in our voices so people could know someone, me apparently, is not just some psycho wishing people to die, which I NEVERsaid.. I simply and jestfully offered a deal I knew Benny would never accept to. So don't even go there, because I didn't... But, yeah I'm just sitting around here making Ben Ass-fleck voodoo dolls, and dipping them in chicken blood. That, and pacing the halls ripping out tufts of hair all pissed offedly. lol. And you just made the list, buddeh. Kidding, geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.

One thing that needs pointing out - unsurprisingly, the "$50m for 20 minutes" is a complete and total falsity. It never happened ... the source of it was some online article, or even comment feed, or some guys talking to each other, and just spit-balling 'what they should do' ... there's absolutely no truth in it whatsoever. I'm stunned that such an obvious load of bollocks (no movie studio in their right mind is going to pay anyone $50m for 20 minutes of screentime) made it into 'legitimate' online articles about the subject. /rant @Bassman - Yep, that picture certainly sums it up. I'm looking forward to Affleck proving the doubters wrong, just like Daniel Craig did in Casino Royale, just like Heath Ledger did in The Dark Knight, and just like Michael Keaton did back in 1989's Batman. In general, I wonder if the sheer hate directed at some of these actors - Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt for example - is really more to do with the bullshit that's made up about them in the press thanks to churnalism, rumour, and the paparazzi, rather than the actor's actual actions. Yes, the J-Lo period in Affleck's life proved to be a bugger up, but Affleck himself cringes at that time and has said himself that he made mistakes in his career and life at the time - although he was in love with J-Lo, so fair play to him, it was just that it all became a bit vulgar (e.g. that music video they were both in) and wrung through the tabloids to the nth degree. The Affleck of 2013 is nothing like the Affleck of 2003.

Calm your tits, I was being jokey about the offer. Hard to tell without a smiley or "haha" or something of that nature. And I've seen similar comments around the net that are serious. And you're talking more Crispin of "back in the day". My guess is he's probably been humbled since the whole BTTF days, and resulting lean years. I've heard no complaints in many of his more recent, and often kick ass, roles/movies. The guy is a fantastic actor, I wasn't just going by looks. Kick ass roles and movies? All I see he's done in recent years is that crap Alice and Wonderland and some voice acting. IMO, Glover has always been a one note actor. He can't play anything but the same bumbling idiot that sounds like a shy 12 year old... I know you have mucho love/boner for Ledger, but that's how I feel. I don't believe he did anything to wow in a movie that was kinda snoozy. I don't have any love for Ledger. I thought he did a good job with Nolan's version of the character and he was a good actor for the short time he lived, but that was about it. In his few years he accomplished more versatile performances than Glover has done in his entire career. Nolan could have cast anyone that he saw fit in that role and I'm sure they would have done a decent job. But it was never going to be a fan's wish list like Glover. Just like the new Batman was never going to be Bale or the other three obvious choices that fans seem to think were the ONLY choices.

I'm looking forward to Affleck proving the doubters wrong, just like Daniel Craig did in Casino Royale, just like Heath Ledger did in The Dark Knight, and just like Michael Keaton did back in 1989's Batman. Daniel craig is shit as bond, he proved nothing with casino royale. Heath ledger was brilliant as the joker and the closest movie representation to the original character we are likely to see and michael keaton was fantastic as batman, he was my favourite big screen batman. I dont see how any of those arguments are relevant to affleck? My problem with him is not only that he is a shit actor who will no doubt incredibly ham the role up, but his appointment fills me with fear that their trying to turn bruce wayne into another tony stark. Which is wrong on so many levels. It will be shit. affleck wont prove anyone wrong, he will cock it up and make it another "batman and robin". Mark my words.

[EvilNed]

Oh, I just love how controversial this casting is. Because of this, I can't wait to see it! Even if it turns out to be shit.

[rongravy]

Hard to tell without a smiley or "haha" or something of that nature. And I've seen similar comments around the net that are serious. Ehhhhh, you kinda twisted my words, though, a bit. But I will do my best to put a smiley down on that badboy next time. Kick ass roles and movies? All I see he's done in recent years is that crap Alice and Wonderland and some voice acting. IMO, Glover has always been a one note actor. He can't play anything but the same bumbling idiot that sounds like a shy 12 year old... Dang, sounds like you like him about as much as I like Ass-fleck. I will say he was the bomb in Hot Tub Time Machine, and I quote Bartleby on an hourly basis. Guess we have different feels for the guy. I think he's the tits. I don't have any love for Ledger. I thought he did a good job with Nolan's version of the character and he was a good actor for the short time he lived, but that was about it. In his few years he accomplished more versatile performances than Glover has done in his entire career.

I agree totally on all these things, especially Daniel Craig sucking as Bond. The rest I took out of your post, as you're completely bonkers on that part. Playing, yes. Kidding, not.

[Mr. Clean]

I agree totally on all these things, especially Daniel Craig sucking as Bond. So, that makes 3 of us who think Craig makes a shitty bond. I thought I was the only one who has been hoping for a new Bond for sometime now....

I thought Casino Royale was one of the best bond films in decades, and as such I give Craig some respect for that. But I must admit I'm with you with Affleck. I'm having trouble picturing him as Batman... But it will be interesting

[krisvds]

Man, some of you guys are taking their batman a little too seriously, no?

[bassman]

Wow.....a petition. What a great idea! How could that NOT work?

[Neil]

Wow.....a petition. What a great idea! How could that NOT work? LOL! I've not discussed the role with him and sat in a screen test watching him... like all these other fellows who will be taking part in the poll of course!
