They just want to attempt to make a Justice League as successful as The Avengers, and Bale already said he wouldn't be back... :P Losers. Christian Bale is basically an anagram for Batman; there shall be none other than him.

:( I was so hoping Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character was going to tie into this movie. But, honestly, looking at Ben Affleck's face, I can almost see him being Batman. Though I may not like it at first, he may end up being a very good choice.

I can't believe I learned about this pop culture news on the ToO. :(

Here's hoping it pulls another Batman and Robin fail that it puts superhero movies in the tank for at least awhile. Then we can move on to other things. \:D/

Eh, all it will do is put DC Comics movies in the toilet... Marvel will merrily march on as they always have. \:D/

There was some weird report last night that Bryan Cranston is playing Lex Luthor, which would be cool but my usual sources haven't confirmed it yet and there are some contract details the article mentions that seem dumb, but he has been interested in the role so its possible. I like him, but I'm not sure I would cast him in the role, but it's not a horrible choice.

For the last two years my sister has been establishing the tradition of watching a terrible superhero movie for her birthday party. Perhaps they can add to her list of options? \:D/

Yeah, I don't understand the outrage. Affleck can be decent. But it's all funny so I'll go along with it. \:D/

Yeah, Will Smith is the one black dude that I wouldn't mind being Superman.

We need to get a Kickstarter going to fund the Superman/Batman movie that was going to star Nick Cage as Supes! \:D/
