    Is this because they rejected his absurd payment demands for the other three batman movies?

    He couldn't get enough money and attention from the original batman directors so he needs to go at it alone now...lol

    Ben Affleck is a highly intelligent and talented man. What's with the assumption that he'll do a poor job directing a movie?

        Daredevil was a flawed movie. The previews for Batman V Superman look great (to me, anyway).

        No idea how his own Batman movie will turn out.

        I can't give an opinion on a movie that is virtually just an idea right now.

        I still don't get the DC VS Marvel thing. I love the recent Comic book movies. I can't wait for Ant Man, Fantastic Four, Suicide Squad...and the later Avengers movies.

        I'm old enough to remember the terrible Captain America movies, the Spider-Man movies (the ones on TV), There was a terrible Justice League and Fantastic Four movie that never made it to theaters.

        I'm just happy to see everything that is coming out in theaters now.

        Affleck is now a fine actor. I watched Gone Girl last night, and he was terrific in it.

          Yes, he's great at playing a man who can't outwit his wife. This skill will come in handy when dealing with super villains.

            Did you see Gone Girl?

            I thought it was very intelligently done. The wife was a psychopath, but the guy played by Ben Affleck was pretty psychopathic in his own way too.

            Oh, maybe I should point out;

            Ben Affleck isn't really who he plays in a movie.

            Ben Affleck wasn't really fooled by Rosamund Pike, because he had already read the script, and knew how it ended.

            Super villains aren't real.

            Batman isn't real.

            The words you are reading right now, aren't real.

            My pretending to take issue with what you said, isn't real.

                    psychopathetic

                    I saw it. Missed it the first read through, caught it on the second read through.

                    I ignored it.


                    That's why I said, "takes one to know one".


                    By the way, if there were other differences, I really missed them.

                    Osama Bin Laden was a Marvel fan. So was Adolf Hitler.



                    By the way 2......

                    I saw Minions this past Saturday. it was Ok, but the weakest of the Despicable Me movies.

                    Three year olds were screaming, "That makes no logical sense!" and, "Another poop joke? This is getting old"
