The internet blew up when it was announced that Ben Affleck would be playing Batman/Bruce Wayne in the upcoming sequel to Man of Steel. Personally I haven’t made a decision as to whether I think this casting is good or bad. But with all the buzz about Ben Affleck’s casting I figured we would break tradition and give you all a special edition of Confessions of a YouTube Addict.
The Gonna Geek family has been hard at work sharing their opinions. Shortly after Warner Bros put out a press release with the news the Legends Podcast crew recorded a special edition podcast with their opinions. Our very own Matt Crowder also wrote a piece defending the casting of Ben Affleck.
Like I said, I haven’t decided whether I like this casting choice yet. However, there is a fantastic fan made trailer for Man of Steel 2 that has me intrigued with the way Affleck could fit in. To be fair the trailer has also spliced Bryan Cranston in the role of Lex Luthor. Cranston has been rumored to be onboard to play the iconic role in what is, in my opinion, near perfect casting. The fan trailer splices together clips from a variety of movies. Obviously Man of Steel 2 will probably be nothing like this fan trailer but I’m still excited for more news going forward. Give this a watch and see if you still hate the casting of Ben Affleck.
