I would say that Dare Devil is more than just a bit better than Green Lantern. Admittedly I don't know a lot about Dare Devil comics or the character but as a film I thought it was considerably better than Green Lantern which I found to be absolutely dreadful and one of the most disappointing movies I've seen.

That's not really a valid observation at all. I loved Man of Steel (it's not perfect, but I enjoyed the hell out of it) and I'm fine with Affleck. I know just as many people who hated it and hate this casting even more. Yes, this is all just one anecdotal wankfest, but that's a really absurd generalization, even on a dopey Internet forum.
Would it be fair to say then that everyone upset over this casting either dislike Affleck in general, or only see/want Bale as Batman now?
How is that?

I guess one would assume Bryan Cranston has more of an incentive to be Luthor now and reteam with Affleck?

Adkins and Affleck look quite a bit similar; I won't be shocked if Adkins is the guy in the suit for anything physical.

I believe that is what Solid Snake was getting at.

I can't seen Affleck having a 5' oclock shadow though as Batman. He looks a lot different shaven more like in his Kevin Smith movies which worries me.

Yeah, Adkins as Affleck's fight double would be badass and nigh seamless given their physical similarities. Now the reports of Scott Adkins trying out for the role make sense.

That picture is clearly a comparison on his weight, especially in his face. One looks like when he was lean and built for The Town. The other looks like it was from years ago.

Since Hans Zimmer will score this one, do you suppose he'll write completely new themes for Batman and his related characters/locations?

latest Batrumor: that Affleck was pushing for ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow to play Catwoman to his Caped Crusader.
"... Gwyneth is much more the Electra type," Affleck wrote, slipping in a reference to yet another comic-book title ("The Daredevil").

What has Kevin Smith said so far about this news? He must be doing cartwheels, this will give him new material on his speaking tours for another decade.

Long before there was a #BatFleck, Batman once fought the Swamp Thing! Hear the stories on the new FAT MAN ON BATMAN! http://t.co/VNh72rN9yb

Agreed. I was very hesitant about him when "The First Avenger" was being made, but he knocked it out of the park. "The Avengers" was awesome, and I'm so anxious for "The Winter Soldier" release next year.
It was an incredible film; I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Henry Cavill's the best live-action Superman so far, including Christopher Reeve.

I do think Cavill was excellent. But Man of Steel was certaintly not.

The movie practically beat the audience with a Bible with it's obvious Christian allegory. Of course moviefan2k4 was enthralled by it. 
Agreed. There was a better film in there. It just needed a better director to make it a reality. I wish Affleck would replace Snyder as director for the sequel. Or perhaps Duncan Jones would realize that perhaps he indeed can direct a Superman movie.

Like it or not, Siegel and Shuster created Superman as a direct reference to both Moses and Jesus. Snyder & Co. were simply adhering to that original vision, and I was very pleased with the result.

And, as Jews, Siegel and Shuster would have been referencing Moses, not Jesus.
