Here's the first photo of Ben Affleck as Batman

[Bam-Saker]

I don't think anyone expected him to look like this. Photo was posted on Zack Snyder's twitter.

yeah I definitely wasn't expecting a batman costume for batman

 

[whoa-dere]

why are veins showing over his suit? the car looks lame

 

[smooter]

swoll

What, in a batman costume???

I don't get it.

This movie is going to be so fucking dumb. Man of Steel was incredibly bad and The Dark Knight trilogy did a perfect job of Batman, they should just leave it be.

Inb4 this batman movie turns out to be as shitty as the George Clooney ones

 

[Dustin.]

The only Batman movie I ever thought was awesome was The Dark Knight. All the rest were pretty shitty films, so why shouldn't Ben Affleck get the lead? Might as well just go all in and make Nick Swardson the bad guy.

That's foolish, everyone knows the best villain for Ben Affleck would be Matt Damon.

Don't get the veins though.... Are there nipples included too on this one?

Matt Damon would actually make a pretty sick villian. Idk who, but it would be awesome to see him play the bad guy for once. Especially after how badass he looked in elysium

 

[PowPirate]

looks more like catman with those stupid ears.

 

[Barefootin_Fiend]

Man of Steel was incredibly bad

seriously? it was 100% better than the 2005 superman movie.....

i thought it was decent, tbh.

 

[Puzzled]

Cavill was way too goofy

 

[Wampire]

wow what a hunk

 

[Lé.Skiing]

I personally don't like the badman logo they came up with. too bulky imo.

movie might be ok but I refuse to go into any movie thinking it will be good only because when they are I like to be surprised. also if it is a let down when you think "this is going to be a let down" then you can be like "I knew it!"

Dat bat bulge doe

It looks pretty good imo. Better than I expected. They were going for an older, battle-tested batman and its looking like it here.

^that looks way better. Bat logo is way too fat though

 

[lIllI]

Why do filmmakers keep trying to give Batman a serious persona? They will never be as good as Adam West-era Batman. Just accept it. I'm looking at you, Christopher Nolan.

 

[Bombogenesis]

Wayyy enhanced with cgi like the dudes in 300 obviously

Its based off the comics

I say this would be awesome if they are planning on not going for a more dark batman like the dark knight. I hope they make it more like batman around the Adam West era.

Matt Damon.

omg yes. Haha made me think of his diabolical laugh in this video (at 8:00)

Why was it dumb? I don't really remember watching it.

 

[SKI.ING]

they are going for a more comic influenced batman, which is five million times better than begins/darknight kinda stuff. but the comic this picture is from is the dark knight returns, its basically old as dirt batman whos been forced into retirement sees his city going even more down hill than before so he puts the cape back on. And finds random gymnastic girl who shoots a sling shot.

Yeah because begins/dark knight had no comic influence? Try reading the rest of Miller's Batman stuff.

 

[Holte]

I hope he has a thick Boston accent.

Ben affleck as a replacement for bale is like going from edward furlong in t2 to that phagg in t3

 

[HarlTheGnarl]

I thought it was decent/entertaining...But way too much CGI and not enough plot or character focus. Just like 90% of other movies coming out of Hollywood these days.

Exactly. Ben Affleck is one of those actors who could either be really good or really bad.

In movies like "The Town" and "Good Will Hunting", he was good. In most other movies that require him to branch outside of his Boston roots, he really isn't anything special. I mean, I guess Argo was an exception and the guy is an incredible director, but Bale's Batman is going to be some really big shoes to fill. It's just not gonna happen.

"rahbin, go get our wicked aahhhsome caah"

Spot on.

Side note, his little brother is a good actor. Out of the furnace and gone baby gone were good movies

Kevin smith talks about the photo. Also read some other things about it. Affleck says he wouldn't have taken the role if it was going to be another daredevil movie. There have also been statements saying its going to be mainly about batman in the later years or something plus its going to have a new take on the batman. Really intrigued by those statements.
