It may have been one of those things where it was the right type of role, wrong time to do it. That quote was from 2006 but, didn't the movie come out years before? Comic book movies have become very popular, it's the right time for him, maybe.Last edited by darkphoenix21; 08-23-2013, 08:14 AM.Comment

Re-watching Daredevil, I can't help but think the tone is completely wrong. The dialogue and actions taken by the characters are better suited to a much more tongue-in-cheek type flick than the one presented. I can't tell from Affleck's performance if I'm supposed to care about him or laugh at him. Some of the hyper-violence, like when Daredevil lets the guy get cut in half by the train, makes me think the director wanted to go all Tarantino but couldn't. But then they break out the scene where Murdock and Elektra fight on the playground, and it feels more like a parody.
Hmm.
It was the directors first movie. He also wrote it. It was his "baby". I still don't know how he pulled it off. I have seen interviews with him telling how hard it was and the lessons he learned from pretty much failing to make a good movie. It may be on the dvd special features, but I don't remember.
Edit: Found it.

Ben Affleck is good actor but I don't see Batman when I look at him. He was great as Daredevil (and sort of Batman-esque) but I am a bit skeptical about him doing Batman. To be fair I was initially skeptical about Heath Ledger playing The Joker but his performance was phenomenal and he is by far the best on-screen Joker.Comment

It was the directors first movie [of that kind]. He also wrote it. It was his "baby". I still don't know how he pulled it off.

However, I will say this... I can't judge Affleck on this movie at all. It wouldn't be fair. No one could have made it good.Comment

Good to know. It's also interesting to me that I remember liking Daredevil more than the critics at the time. I remember thinking it wasn't a great movie, but not as bad as people had made it out to be. I think I now have to admit that I was wrong.

I have to wonder. How old is Batman in this movie? Affleck is not in his 30s nor his 20s so we can't be looking at a Batman who is an inexperienced rookie. Seems to me that he would be a seasoned crime fighter if Affleck is playing him. Also, Affleck has to decide if he is in it for the long haul. This is leading to a JLA movie in 2017 (WB better get their @ss moving with Wonder Woman). Does Affleck want to do a multiple picture deal as Batman?Comment
