Yes, the fact that a lot of actos have played Batman is a joke, not the movies themselves or their quality.
Jesus, it's like talking to a stump half the time.
If it's not broke, don't fix it. Here's the Batman franchise, finally reborn with a tone and star the people actually like, when all the musical chairs casting is part of what killed the franchise in the first place.
I never said I wasn't open to someone enlightening me on how Bale's resent performances were varied and emotionally deep. I truly would like to hear a well-put explanation.
It doesn't matter seeing as to how you probably wouldn't hear any of it.
Now would you like to be enlightened on why a JLA movie could succeed without Christian Bale, or would you rather just be right?
I've heard a lot of bad excuses. And that you need an A-list highly marketable actor to play Batman isn't much of one.
I never said that.
What I did say, is that a JLA movie could be successful with a popular actor who is not Christian Bale. I haven't elaborated on it beyond that simple statement.
Christian Bale is popular in this role. Anticipation on the next movie is pretty high.
Why should popularity even matter? Look what that got us with Jessica Alba in Fantastic Four.
I think more often than not, casting who is right for the roles achieves far better results than casting someon because they are popular or "successful".
And if you cast a movie star as Batman, they bring a set amount of baggage to the role that will distract audiences from them playing the character as well.
Daredevil would've been more successful if someone else other than Ben Affleck was playing the lead role.
