Superman & Batman

[BlackGT]

Joe Manganiello would be sweet as batman, but not sure how he would do as Bruce Wayne..

Christian Bale has been offered $50 million to return as Bruce Wayne/Batman. This keeps getting worse and worse.........


And now we have this:

Who’s Playing Lex Luthor In BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN? It May Be Down To Two Actors.


So we know that there’s a short list of six actors who may play Batman in Batman Vs. Superman, but who’s up for the role of Lex Luthor. Two conflicting rumors have started to circulate that position two distinctly different actors in the role of the evil genius.

First, let’s go with the obvious and slightly conventional choice: Mark Strong.

Digital Spy is reporting that the Sherlock star has hinted that he may in fact be Lex Luthor. According to the site, when they asked Strong about playing Luthor, Strong responded, ”All I can say is… watch this space.” Whatever that means. Strong would be a rather ordinary casting choice for Luthor, and one that would make Luthor slightly older than the presumed Batman actor, who is expected to be in his 40s. Strong also has a history of playing villains in a number of movies, including a similar role as an evil business man in Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass, so Luthor isn’t a stretch.

The second is a much more intriguing choice: Bryan Cranston.

Latino Review’s rumor monger El Mayimbe sent a series of tweets yesterday that Cranston was indeed the man who would be Luthor. Cranston is slightly older and more haggard than Mark Strong. If Luthor is going to step in between Batman and Superman, then a Cranston Luthor could add a much needed dynamic to the role. He looks the part of a working-class, self-made billionaire, someone who wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth and an empire in his inheritance like Bruce Wayne. The only downside to Cranston would be that his bald head would only remind people of Breaking Bad… even if he doesn’t have Heisenberg’s signature goatee. But Cranston is a strong enough actor to overcome that, right?

He wasn't offered the 50 million, it was pure speculation after Downey made 50 mil off IM3.

I'm still half asleep......lol

Worse and worse?

[idrivea4banger]

Bite me Tony.

It sounded like you'd be disappointed with Bale and Strong or Cranston.

[idrivea4banger]

I don't mind Strong or Cranston as Lex. The whole older Batman route and trying to bring in Bale reeks of desperation. There are other adaptations they can use, the dark knight returns has been done. The main focus of the story arc they want to use is about Batman not Superman. An established Batman at that.

Ben Affleck is set to play Batman opposite Henry Cavill in the untitled "Man of Steel" sequel that will be directed by Zack Snyder, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.

The studio has slated the film to open worldwide on July 17, 2015.

Project brings Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen. "Man of Steel" stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are also set to return.

Snyder's "Man of Steel" re-imagined the origin of Clark Kent/Superman en route to grossing more than $650 million worldwide to date.

"We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics' most enduringly popular super heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some," said WB's president of production Greg Silverman. "His outstanding career is a testament to his talent and we know he and Zack will bring new dimension to the duality of this character."

Added Snyder: "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."

Affleck recently starred in WB's Best Picture-winning "Argo," which he also directed and produced. In 2010, he starred in and directed WB's hit crime thriller "The Town." Earlier in his career, Affleck starred in and co-wrote (with Matt Damon) "Good Will Hunting," for which he won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

He's horrible. He ruined daredevil. He's not a top tier action star.
