A lot of people online are making comparisons between the reaction to this and Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker, but most seem to be missing the point. Ledger was a young guy in the process of breaking out from doing mostly teen flicks, and whose potential hadn't yet been fully realised. Affleck is 40-something and has already shown everything he brings to the table as an actor. The odds of him 'knocking one out of the park' with a surprisingly brilliant performance are going to be much lower, and unless Snyder is planning to make Wayne into a blue-collar guy from Boston, a white-collar guy from Boston or a career criminal from Boston, it’s highly unlikely that this role will play to his strengths.

How strange, I distinctly remember seeing video footage of Wentworth running away with Mariah Carey, who at the time was about to get married to Wentworth's dad Eric Roberts.

My excitement about this movie just hit rock bottom. I rate Affleck as a director and he does vaguely resemble the way Wayne usually looks in the comics, but the thought of him playing Batman is certainly not one that I'll relish. He's shown himself to be wrong for this type of role a number of times already.

Any fans of Those Dancing Days in the house? Here's the new one by three of their ex-members. Pretty cool.

Latest trailer. Slightly inaccurate video title as it doesn't actually focus on Firefly that much, although you do get a few glimpses of what he can do. Not exactly sure why, but something about him gives me serious Metal Gear vibes.

By today's standards, the WWII backdrop is the most interesting aspect of the Captain America story, but his revival in the sixties would have been pretty ingenious at the time. He became something of an irrelevant figure when the Nazis were no longer around to for him to kick and punch in the face, so I do consider that whole ‘man out of time’ concept to be a clever direction for him. Granted though, the stories almost always followed the same simplistic formula. This new movie does appear to be packing some emotional spectrum, and if it's done right it could be pretty effective, what with Peggy’s apparent reappearance as a much older character and his former best mate (I leave out his name as I can’t for the life of me remember if the guy in the movie was referred to as Bucky or not ) as the villain. At least, that’s what I’m rather hoping for. Time will tell but I'm cautiously optimistic.
