Man Lardus is going to drive a hole in his club by missing this one.
As a side note: Ben Affleck as Batman…. what has the world turned into?

the only thing that i like about ben affleck being batman is as a huge Kevin smith fan he might pop up with a cameo like he did in daredevil…

Even better would be Jay & Silent Bob 😀
Marc O Polo

jay & silent bob are only in the “ViewAskew universe” movies, so doubt it, they busy getting ready for Clerks 3 and a movie called tusk, about a psychopathy who dresses ppl up in walrus suits, is busy being filmed. clerks 3 is gonna be his last major film release 🙁
also check out comic book men if you haven’t seen it yet

Ben Affleck? mmmm you know, that might work.
Umar Kiiroi Senk?
August 23, 2013 at 16:25
If Batman was a pansy? Given…Ben wasn’t all that bad as DD

August 23, 2013 at 16:29
That is a BATMAN chin right there with its little dimple. You can never have a good Batman and good Bruce Wayne in one film anyway. It is just one of the constants of the universe.

And all the girl target market can get their kicks with another on screen kiss with Jay Lo as cat woman. Meowwwwww
Umar Kiiroi Senk?
August 23, 2013 at 16:35
Lol that could work. If they get matt damon as Robin then this movie will be the best ever

Was reading the argument that bale was a great bruce. Not batman…that said now…that chin…it is like it was made for batman..

I would have picked Don Draper from Mad Men or Karl Urban
Skyblue
August 23, 2013 at 22:38
I only wanna see Urban as Dredd again, please movies deity’s, make it so…
Hammersteyn
August 24, 2013 at 09:47
Now that WAS a Dredd movie. Loved every minute of it.
Skyblue
August 24, 2013 at 10:19
Likewise. Don Draper is an interesting choice and he could prob pull it off.
