BvS Do you think Batman is taking the heat away from Superman?

No, you don't get it. Ben Affleck is a soft cotton candy ass actor and he is NOT an action hero. Whats going to hurt Superman is that when people see Ben Affleck dressed as Batman they are going to chuckle thats Ben Affleck beating up Superman. Nobody that i've spoken with is drooling to see these to square off.

In fact my wife laughed this morning and said did you see the news who's playing Batman. I ask her just don't mention it I didn't want to hear anymore about it. She just burst out laughing along with our baby sitter.

So, Ben Affleck not being an action movie hero is a problem ? Neither was Tobey McGuire or Micheal Keaton before they accepted playing Spider-Man and Batman, and both movies were successful.

Dude, there is reason why the people who play such roles are actors and not professional bodybuilders, wrestlers or martial artists, then have a job to convince the audience that they are watching the character, not the actor.

Superman relegated to Batman's *****? Yeah, I think that's a possibility. Love or hate Affleck the truth is no other superhero character would have caused such a response from people. Batman is the biggest superhero on the planet, sorry Big Blue fans, he may be the granddaddy of them all, but Cavil could have been recast and barely a peep would circulated through the presses.

Oh yeah that's why Batman Begins opened with $49mill domestic (finished with $207mill) and Man Of Steel opened with $117mill (finished with $290mill)
