Stop Ben Affleck Before it's too Late!!!

I actually want to see him do it. I think this could work out.

1) He seemed pretty adamant about it.

2) I suppose you're right

3) It's like if we saw Hugh Jackman play Timber Wolf or Thomas Jane play Red Hood. I'm just going to imagine him saying everything as Daredevil in a black suit

4) I highly doubt it. Same thing could be said about Uma Thurman and Poison Ivy, look what happened there.

I just realized that I recognize quite a few of the people saying Affleck is gonna suck as Batman were among the people who said Ryan Reynolds would make a great Hal Jordan for no other reason than that he knew the Green Lantern oath. Coincidence?

@cor3ycash: Dude, shut up. You'd be pissed off whoever it was. Seriously. People need to get a grip. Ben Affleck will be a great Batman.

EDIT:@spideyivydaredevilfan26 Argo didn't suck. It was one of the best movies that year, one of the best in a long time even. What I'm saying is it was really really good. Great. You just weren't mature enough to appreciate it, is what it sounds like. It was based solely on true events. When rescuing hostages, it would be ridiculous for you not to take it slow. Sure not every scene was gunshots and rioting, but that's because there's a lot of talking and negotiating involved. The movie didn't have a slow moment, it sounds like you just weren't mature enough to appreciate anything but the gunfire and riots. But that's okay, you will when you're older.

Also, to say the movie was racist is ridiculous. Period. If I sound pissed off, it's not because I'm really angry or anything. I'm just tired of people on the internet who will complain no matter who is announced to play Batman. Some people just love to complain about everything, and I get that, but it doesn't make it any less annoying. Ben Affleck will be a great Batman.

I thought he was okay. Not great, but okay.

1. If an adamant stance can change over time, I was once adamant that Korn was the greatest band ever, then I turned 18.

2. Well Okay then.

3. That can be said for any actor, for instance I sometimes have trouble with seeing Sean Connery as anything other than James Bond.

4. Uma Thurman is a terrible actress IMO, Kill Bill is the only thing I ever liked her in. Affleck despite a few misses is a fairly good actor, not the best but good enough to know he should find something to care about in the character. Also he will be getting paid a hell of a lot better than Thurman was.

1) Fair enough...But it just seems suspicions that Affleck is playing Batman, a superhero that is similar to Daredevil, after saying he would never play one...VERY suspicious.

3) True, but Connery is like 80 now, so you can kinda see him as Bond. Affleck still looks like Murdock, and I'll bet my bottom dollar he'll phone in his performance from Daredevil.

4) Uma Thurman's Good Movies:

Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2

Pulp Fiction

Gattaca

The Avengers (Not making this any better)

Les Mis

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (Don't kill me)

Uma's Bad Movies:

Batman & Robin

Percy Jackson

Paycheck

Ben Affleck's Good Movies:

The Town

Good Will Hunting

Daredevil

Ben's Bad Movies:

Pearl Harbor

Gigli

Paycheck

Argo

Armageddon

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Glory Days

...I don't know about that...And PS I LOVE Uma Thurman, I just think that she accepts some roles she really doesn't give a damn about. She has the same problem as Nicolas Cage, who I am also a huge fan of.

@spideyivydaredevilfan26: In Ben's good movies you forgot Dazed and Confused, Chasing Amy, and Company Men (A very underrated movie) and all of Thurman's "Good Movies" are arguable.

I have a better idea:

1. Sit the hell down

2. Shut the hell up

3. Wait until the damn movie comes out so that you can properly form a valid opinion.

And if you think for a second that President Obama is gonna listen to a random nerd raging about an actor playing his favorite superhero then you need some professional help.

taking it too far, but i don´t like ben affleck

@citizenbane: I hope not.

People are blowing this way out of proportion. So Ben Affleck might have done wrong in the past. He's doing a rather good job of cleaning up his act. I personally liked Argo, and thought he did a great job writing and directing it. I think we should give it some time. Remember who Chris Evans played before Captain America? The Human Torch in the train wreck that we know as "The Fantastic Four". Perhaps Affleck can redeem himself like Evans did.

1. He said he won't play a superhero again soon. And he's does care about Batman, he's a comic book fan, but you've got to understand Daredevil almost ruined his career, and he got more backlash than he deserved for the movie, there's a rumor he already started training for the role so he cares enough. He's not a media whore, WB was pushing him for the role, he gave up the chance to direct The Stand for this movie, big blockbuster movies aren't even his type anymore.
2. I loved that movie but that's just MO.
3. Doesn't matter, it wasn't a noteworthy performance, most people haven't even seen it or care enough for it.
4. He cares very much about the role, or else he wouldn't have agreed to play it, he knows he's got a very bad rap and if he bombs in the role then it will pretty much ruin his now perfect career, its a bigger gamble for him than its for WB, I think he'll try very hard to prove himself right and the haters wrong.

Even if I wanted him out of MoS, there is no point in petitioning. They rarely affect anything and only serve to waste people time into thinking that what they really achieved something.

@spideyivydaredevilfan26: Argo was a great movie. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it bad. I would love to here why you think it's racist, though.

...

the petition is on the french news: http://fr.cinema.yahoo.com/actualite/ben-affleck-batman-fans-constern%C3%A9s-moquent-095300610.html

dc movies arent very good. not surprised. but hey maybe affleck wont kill the batman movies like b&r.

My Message to Ben Affleck...

MY god this is retarded. People actually made a petition for this? I have just lost even more hope in humanity. Give him a chance you dumbasses.

A petition to the President of the United States of America.

I think Daredevil (even Director's cut) was a joke of a movie...

BUT

That was 10 years ago.Its not really a good argument against an actor. A lot can change in 10 years. Youtube didn't exist 10 years ago FFS!

I don't know how I feel about Affleck yet. I don't hate the choice, don't love it. Ultimately I'm just waiting to see and hoping for the best.

YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT HOLLYWOOD !!!

Stop this insanity, if he sucks in the screen test or on the early production, they will change him, Micheal J. Fox in Back to The Future is the evidence this happens.

What was there reason for choosing Afleck from among actors who are a hundred times better than him? It would seem he has a lot of friends in the DC movie circles.

It's going to be a long two years....

Everyone relax. He'll be great. Watch Argo.

These people said it best.

Why, in the name of Odin, does anyone think that a White House petition holds any weight when it comes to the casting of a movie?

Sometimes I hate the internet because it allows stupid people access too.

I don't agree with Ben being Batman but not for the reasons displayed here.....childishness aside, I think it could go as well as captain america, chris evans wasn't my first choice for Steve Rodgers but it happened and it wasn't "THAT" bad ...now if Frank Miller takes his bullsh*t imagination and makes Batman kick Superman's ass, then I'll have a problem, but for the time being....leave it go.

Just wait. All the people who are complaining and whining are going to eat their own words if Ben Affleck does well as Batman which I really hope he does. Sure he wasn't really my first choice to play Batman, but I trust WB decision for now. Look at Heath Ledger, before the Dark Knight ever came out, a lot of people were like "Nooo!" and now... you already know what I'm going to say next.

Other than that, don't judge him yet.

@guardian_of_gravity: @lvenger:

What'll be funny is if this petition actually works. I will literally laugh until I need antacids if this petition stops Affleck from ruining the Batman franchise ala Schumaker.

@heraldofganthet: That'll never happen.

You see what some people don't understand is that doing s**t like this is exactly why none of the studios take comic fans seriously. When they see someone dumb enough to believe that the f**king White House would give even the faintest bit of a s**t who plays Batman makes us all look bad.

J'you guys forget about Argo?

Have faith, I don't think they'd cast him if he sucked.

Anything that makes batfans cringe is comedy gold

and this is quality entertainment

@the_good_loser said:

Uh..... this might be off topic but who's run is that? (Also, is that Kevin Maguire's art?)

I think its all been said already, but Affleck was dire as Daredevil and a lot of that was due to the woeful script in that terrible film. Only Michael Clarke Duncan emerged with any credit from it. 25,000 petitioned against Michael Keaton and his two films were great. You've gotta give him a chance. More important things to petition on just now, such as chemical weapons in Syria!

I'm sorry but you need therapy if this upsets you so much. And why would Obama care about who plays Batman?

0

Maybe because he wants to play Batman himself

@batmannflash: OBatman, now he sounds Irish.
