[Boom]

Eh. They could've done a lot worse.

Wait-and-see mode activated.

 

[Kane52630]

In before freakout.


I can't wait.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'm okay with it.

Not ecstatic, but i liked him as Daredevil, he's a good actor.

Now we just need to see him in action.

 

[Liam_H]

Well....this is something.

 

[Dark_Lord]

It's certainly interesting. We'll see...

 

[Boom]

Please, for the love of God, let him have a screenwriter credit as well.

 

[StarLord]

Eh. They could've done a lot worse.

Wait-and-see mode activated.

Pretty much how I feel.

He's certainly better than most of the names that were thrown around.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Wtf?!

 

[childeroland]

Nice.
With them shooting in 2014 (?) does this mean he's pushing back his latest Dennis Lehane adaptation "Live By Night"?

 

[TheFBI]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Let the Daredevil v Batman fighting commence

 

[tzarinna]

Whoa!

 

[Kevin Smith]

Feeling pretty meh. Not ecstatic, but not like "OH LET's KILL THE STUDIO!!" either.

 

[Deserana]

He has definitely grown as a filmmaker and actor so he could be really good.

But how did this place get the scoop? Where did Warner reveal it?

 

[Rodrigo90]

It's totally unexpected. But I do sense genius in it

 

[Kevin Smith]

Maybe he will cowrite it or give Goyer some pointers on dialogue, huh?

 

[tzarinna]

I saw it on twitter via Kevin Smith.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Well....I bet Kevin Smith is thrilled that his old buddy is now playing his favorite superhero.

(wonder if they will cast Bruce Willis as Lex Luthor now )

 

[Sawyer]

I'm cool with this. Not like "OMFG, I've wanted him all along" in love with it (honestly, I wasn't that way about anyone), but I can see it. I think he'll do quite well.

And thankfully, the speculation is over.

“Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him," added Snyder.

“We are so thrilled that Ben is continuing Warner Bros.’ remarkable legacy with the character of Batman. He is a tremendously gifted actor who will make this role his own in this already much-anticipated pairing of these two beloved heroes," said WB's Sue Kroll.

 

[Dark_Lord]

Feeling pretty meh. Not ecstatic, but not like "OH LET's KILL THE STUDIO!!" either.

I'm definitely more confident than that, but I still didn't expect this. I didn't even think of him as an option.

 

[king666]

Please, for the love of God, let him have a screenwriter credit as well.

Now THAT would be awesome.

 

[Liam_H]

I guess we won't be getting his next directorial effort until 2016 at the earliest if that.

I'm feeling...okay about this. Def can see him as Bruce and He is a SOLID actor and director.
I remain optimistic.
I will say I'm shocked at this choice.

 

[Boom]

I'm quite serious. I hope to God Snyder and Goyer (particularly the latter) are open to his input.

Say what you will about him as an actor, but the man can write and direct.
