This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]507745[/split]
This is actually perfect.
But at this point, I'm practically ready to say that Ben is Bruce Wayne. I think the combination of his underrated acting ability with his existing Bruce Wayne qualities will make him the best Bruce we've seen so far.
I have a feeling they've been "hiding" his Batman for the actual movie itself. Like they know his Batman will cause jaws to drop and want to save it for the movie. There's only been one instance of brief fighting with regular thugs, and no dark sequences of Batman intimidating people who aren't Superman. Yes, I know he brands them, but there hasn't been a scene of him talking creepy to a regular thug released yet.
I think the combination of Watchmen and existing BvS footage has me pretty much not concerned for Batman
^ Batfleck, I think is the scariest looking Batman there.
But yeah, Batfleck looks like a straight up MONSTER in that shot.

That's a great collage. There were some pretty great shots in that CW special regarding BvS. Why was Snyder hiding those from us? Haha.
Maybe to lull the naysayers into a false sense of security, knowing the best is yet to come.
Well I can't wait to see what else is in stores.
In hindsight Ben Affleck was the right choice
I might have just lost all hope for the film if Josh Brolin got cast
They should just move the release date up to February!
I can actually see Brolin as Miller's brutish, disheveled Batman. Even though a lot of folks, including the producers themselves, consider BatFleck to be the living embodiment of said version, I slightly disagree. While the costume is, in some respects, conceptually owed to Miller's DKR Batman, I think it reflects more of an amalgamation between various comic book influences, including David Finch's Batman: The Return #1 as well as Jim Lee's Hush and All Star Batman & Robin: The Boy Wonder. It may even be from the latter that Batfleck's 'scruffy' look derives.
I also think that both Finch and Lee have a cleaner style of drawing, whereas Miller's pencils are kind of on the sloppy and rushed side. His Batman looks like a mess of a man in certain panels. And again, I can see Brolin better conforming to that depiction. However, it's not my preference, which is why I'm glad Snyder and WB went with Affleck.
Yeah, if they were actually doing a straight-up adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns then maybe I could have been on board with Brolin. But as a MOS sequel/JL prelude/Batman franchise starter, he just felt too old to me. And I know he's not really that much older than Affleck, but he LOOKS older.

I was behind Affleck's casting from the start. As soon as I heard he had won the role, it was like a Eureka moment in my head - all those Batman comics with a traditionally handsome Bruce Wayne from the 40s onward, especially with that strong jawline and chin, the dark wavy hair, the height and noticeably broad build in the shoulders, and so on - Affleck is all that, personified. It was strange as he's never someone who would have been on my radar in terms of casting for a Batman role.
Fingers crossed now that he can impress everyone with his portrayal of the dual roles in this film.
