August 24, 2013 8:34 pm There are plenty of people that have been in Oscar winning movies but there are far fewer people who have consistently put out work that rivals the work of many oscar winning actors and actresses. Affleck is a good writer and director. He is not as good of an actor as Craig, Ruffalo and Ledger. That is my opinion and i would stake my life on it being the academies opinion as well.

August 24, 2013 8:23 pm Ha chris. This has nothing to with not being able to get in shape. It's about desire to get in shape or change ones shape. Affleck's shape has not changed for 20 years. What are you talking about? Also if you knew anything about working out you would know how certain people just can't put on much mass (without hugh jackman's 5000 calorie diet or even with it). Also more importantly good luck starting from scratch with the testosterone of someone in their 40's. Gonna need some roids. He will end up with the same mass he had in daredevil and hopefully he will bring his A game while acting. I never have complained about an actor getting a role before but this one man. Stick your thought police, bad cop.

August 24, 2013 6:00 pm Just f.y.i. Jim. Comparing Oscar caliber actors like Craig, Ruffalo, and Ledger to Ben Affleck is not really fair. Mr Affleck has a huge body of work; ive seen 90% of his films and most of his performances are awful (and this is coming from a guy that owns two thousand movies of all genres). Having said that, his last few performances were improvements and it is not out of the realm of possibilities that he could bring his A game to this. He won't bring any muscle but hey what's muscle next to acting chops.

August 24, 2013 5:45 pm Now Jon Hamm would make an awesome Batman.

August 24, 2013 5:41 pm I hear Howard Stern is looking for someone of a similar body type to take over the sacred reigns of his Fartman superhero character in a new feature film. Afflek was his first choice but now after this news it's not meant to be. The perfect Fartman movie in the shitter all because Affleck had a midlife crisis.

August 24, 2013 4:05 pm Afflek not a good fit for Bruce Wayne? Come on, as long as they turn the Bruce Wayne character into a dude from Boston with southie accent everything will be fine. I mean the guy has acted well in 3/23 movies so far (all 3 with a Basstun accent). In all seriousness though i think as ridiculous as it may sound, his height has something to do with this. They wanted some dude that could stand toe to toe with Cavil, which is probably not so easy to find. Too bad Afflek hasn't worked out a day in his life and would probably cramp up just putting the suit on.

June 1, 2012 9:57 pm Ya its a great movie.. I especially liked the book reading scenes while bastion was hiding from the bullies. Ya know all covered up in the cold. Easy to place yourself there as a child. I watched it alot too.. that and ghostbusters. I think falcor could do with some valtrex for his back though.

June 1, 2012 4:40 pm so i take it... i meant to type.

June 1, 2012 4:39 pm Seriously i had no idea.. so i take they actually called him a luck dragon in the movie? My memory isnt one of my strong suits.

June 1, 2012 3:19 pm I have to say that ive only read one issue of this but in my opinion it does not compare to the work that A Nelson is doing at dynamite. The dialogue seemed clunky to me on this.. Dynamite deserves another look.... at least at the warlord of mars book.. the D thoris book i dont recommend so far.
