Speaking to schmoes know, elmayimbe of Latino Review, said that according to his sources Detroit would be used to portray Gotham City in Man Of Steel in order to get an edgier Batman. The second location that would be used will be in Morocco. El Mayimbe theorizes that it is the possible location of a Kryptonite debris.

Do your thing BEN! You've got my support for sure man!

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 10:43 PM

wait ... Ben Affleck ... as Batman ... i think my sober days are about to end ...

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 10:45 PM

@OldHard

i think it's official now

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 10:46 PM

@Jollem

yeah ... shoot me one more time ... cause one bullet was not enough ...

EpicFandemonium - 8/22/2013, 10:57 PM

@Jollem you got good point there. Two directors of their caliber are gonna bounce off ideas and might come up with something amazing. Don't knock till you've seen it.

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 11:03 PM

"i'm excited about two quality filmmakers in snyder and affleck collaborating on MoS 2!"

i was thinking exactly the same ...

but still

Ben Affleck as Batman ?! He can be very good director ... But he has no screen charisma - like at all.
He's only really good role was in Extract and Hollywoodland. Sure, he was decent in "Daredevil" and "State of play" (not to mention Good Will Hunting)but as far as his acting goes ... I'm really not that impressed.

i think i'm gonna have to watch Argo now ... this and Pluto Nash will make my weekend :)

EpicFandemonium - 8/22/2013, 11:11 PM

@Jerryblake Don't knock till you've seen it. It could be another Heath Ledger moment. His movies were mediocre compared to The Dark Knight. You never know, Ben could be good as Batman.

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 11:14 PM

i surely hope so ... i surely hope so ...

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 11:14 PM

comeone Ben ... show us what you've got ...

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 11:20 PM

"Ben Affleck is Batman ?"

"Relax Bruce ! I'll take it from here"

EpicFandemonium - 8/22/2013, 11:29 PM

Not Gonna lie guys, I'm really concerned about how Zack Snyder might portray Lex Luther. In my opinion he is the greatest misunderstood character, where you get Kevin Spacey playing like some second rate character. In the comics and animated movies he is a genius, a maker, a business man, a globalist, a capitalist, a SELF MADE MAN a fitness freak. He is probably like Iron Man, but maybe better. Just hope they do the character right.

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 11:35 PM

so i guees this Cranston as Lex Luthor rumors could be real ...

jerryblake - 8/22/2013, 11:38 PM

@Jollem

Watchmen is a really good movie. Still, i would love to see Paul Greengrass version ...

@Epic

lol

I made the mistake of automatically hating a casting choice before with Heath Ledger, I won't do it again. I will wait and hope I am surprised.

arsonjack - 8/23/2013, 1:42 AM

Ben Affleck's gonna rock as BATMAN.

EpicFandemonium - 8/23/2013, 2:43 AM

I think he will do great.
