Batman Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 I know naught of which you speak.Apparently back in the 90's, as a joke, Ben Affleck would put his balls on peoples necks. According to Kevin Smith and Bryan Johnson, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Mithrandir Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 If he is the genius, industrialist, self proclaimed saviour of humanity and the script is good, I call Oscar. I would die a happy man.Damn you WB/DC, I still want to see a Jon Hamm Batman before I die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 I would die a happy man.Damn you WB/DC, I still want to see a Jon Hamm Batman before I die.My sentiments before Man of Steel came out. Much as I liked it I am hanging around to see if they can work the kinks out for the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Arry Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So I just read that Justin Bieber tweeted a pic of himself with the Batman vs Superman script with a #Robin ??Will Justin Bieber be Ben Affleck's Robin?So in my despair I did a little more digging.This could be JB shit stirring and he did something with Funny or Die. So it may be him taking advantage of a prop.I hope that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Even DC would know this to be genre suicide.I like the look of Robin from the Arkham City promos where he looked like Eminem. (Not that he should play him... But it was a decidedly street tough look.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Arry Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm actually surprised at the amount of comments that are leaning in favour of it being true.From one critic. He said something along the lines of. People are crying foul. But think about it. It could actually work.And that DC fans are outraged. But the Bieber fans that would go see the movie just for him could make up for it and then some.Plus introduce superhero movies to people who may not have otherwise chosen to see it.Others are saying. It could be interesting.I don't want to see it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Maybe if he's playing Jason Todd and it's the death of Robin that sends Batman to Metropolis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawkcabi Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Now I'm glad Man of Steel sucked so bad. Whether the Bieber rumor is true or not I've not cared much about any follow up to this version of Superman and with things just getting worse as signs keep pointing to movie by corporate studio committee I'm not caring at all now.

polishgenius Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Well apart from anything else, Frank Miller never wrote a comic called The Dark Knight Falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 There doesn't even seem to be a need to have Robin in the film so I think it's Beiber trying to stir shit up. I guess it could be good news for Affleck if it's true though. Fanboys will be welcoming him with open arms by comparison. It would also make sense that Batfleck is going to be tired and weary. I would be if i had to work alongside Bieber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Arry Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Lol I was thinking that today. Ben Affleck is looking pretty good right now. From what I've read today, it was a shit stir. And I really didn't think there was going to be a Robin in the first place.My hope is that the large positive response to it. Doesn't give certain people that are able to make it happen at some point (Be it this movie or some other project) any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 DC really needs to step up their game... and make something decent without the word Bat in the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuseprime Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 DC really needs to step up their game... and make something decent without the word Bat in the title.I agree. I like DC's line-up much more than Marvel's. Wonder Woman could be an amazing stand-alone film. It could also be a cool "Phase 1" movie to build up to JL. I had mixed feelings for Green Lantern. I think they can fix what they did. I think "origin" movies are the worst for comic fans because they usually muck them up. Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a costume based on the piece of fan art someone posted in one of the women and geek culture threads. Be a great way to introduce the world they live in. That's how they should do JL, origins for WW. MM, and maybe the Flash with everyone else already established. No point in doing Superman and Batman, have them already established.Or fuck just make a movie based on the first 3 episodes of the Justice League Cartoon.

The Monkey Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 They gotta have Heisenberg say "maybe he flew too close to the sun" in reference to Superman in this movie, they have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Just read a blog 5 Scenarios In Which Justin Bieber Should Totally Play Robin. I think Brian makes a fair case.Its a fair argument, but he forgets that could lead to Red Hood, which was pretty badass. They would need to re cast at that point.

Like how people are hoping for a Superman Batman film that is like the 3 Worlds Finest episodes from Superman the animated series? Looks like its going to be a Frank Miller style thing that makes Batman crazy or Superman stooge-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
