    Affleck's frame really does lend to the role, in fact I think most of the other Batman actors are not over 6ft except West...

    Just found this ha ha at Lego Batman.

    I love that they included Lego Batman.

    Ben's a slab of beef, and the suit helps him along in appearing massive. They got the predator aspect of Batman right, now we just need some other elements. I know I'd be wetting myself if I saw him coming from the corner of my eye.

    I can't believe Keaton is the shortest. The big ears on his cowl probably helped to make him look taller, a nice visual trick by the costume department. That remains one of my all-time favorite Batman cowls for that reason; very demon-like and gothic.

    Was just thinking that regarding Keatons suit, I do rate that film highly the gothic designs are brilliant. Bale is taller than I thought, his height does not come across that much in Nolan films.I think the Bat cowl drawn with the exaggerated ears looks great, difficult to pull that look off in live action.

    Yes, Bale's suit makes him look smaller than he is, especially with the less bulky armor and short ears.

    Now this is interesting always felt Superman saying that did not quite work.

    P.s. Who ever typed the text on this image, their spelling is worse than mine.

    I dunno, that sounds like a weak attempt by Snyder and co. to explain away one of the biggest issues in the script. Superman blocking out problems to find his mother wouldn't make him say, "no one stays good in this world," as that choice is one of desperation and logic, not a moral failure of his. It's clear that he said that line because he thought he was going to be forced to kill Batman to stop Lex from hurting Ma, and nothing else.

    Plus, he doesn't even find Martha in the film, because if he did know where to get her, he could've flown there in seconds and saved her before any of Lex's guys knew what'd happened.

    It is nonsensical the setup I must admit, even if and a big if Superman killed Batman surely he would not expect Luther to release Martha It's a dumb plan which ever way it's looked at, Superman could have easily persuaded Lex to reveal Martha's location. Also if Batman killed Supes Lex would have a Doomsday monster with nothing to do accept destroy everything, it's terrible writing it amazes me how much I enjoy this film.

    The visuals must just do it for you, which I get, as the Batman stuff can be cool. It's just that all the other stuff in the film brings it down for me, which is a shame. I wanted to love it so, so bad. It had a lot of potential with interesting ideas, but somewhere in there the story and core message of the film got way lost.

    Agree! I do see Zack's flaws on occasion though I own all his films, he is very good when it comes to visuals. Hopefully JL script won't be so muddled

    Whoever directs The Batman, I'm there.
    I haven't seen any of Reeves' movies yet but I've heard rave reviews on these boards!

    According to comics, Batman is 6'2", 210lbs, so technically West is closest! Batfleck & Bale certainly would have hit the mark, but they can't change their height of course.

    I'm 6'2" & 210 but I don't look like Batman, lol
    I'd have to hit that gym 1000 times more than I do now!

    I want to start using that word more!

    'I love listening to your little pissant soldiers trying to talk tough. They make me laugh.
    If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.'

    I am just under 6ft and 220lbs not quite tall enough though have stocky build, alas I don't have Batflecks hair. I weighed around 258lbs a year ago back in training as of this week, I can bulk or lose weight easily when I apply myself.

    West was considered for Bond, West would have made a good serious Batman I think.

    Campea should leave Collider for the umpteenth time, he brings down the show now.

    Actually, believe it or not, Affleck (much like Connery in the Bond movies) wore a wig to play Bruce Wayne. That being said, I'm happy to see all these ridiculous rumors about the Batman being put to rest. I'm glad that Affleck appears to be sticking with the role, and that the project seems to have a director. It also looks as if Aquaman is starting to go into production, and apparently the early screenings for Wonder Woman turned out to be positive.

    I know there have been rumours about Affleck hair, I guess he just wears wigs over a full head of hair.

    Yeah the DCU negativity is a bit much at times irrespective of whether the films are good or bad, some clearly have a anti DC agenda despite claiming the opposite.

    Matt Reeves on helming The Batman

    “I have loved the Batman story since I was a child. He is such an iconic and compelling character, and one that resonates with me deeply. I am incredibly honored and excited to be working with Warner Bros. to bring an epic and emotional new take on the Caped Crusader to the big screen.”

    Encouraging

    I can't wait to hear Campea whine this week when people take him to task over his freshest comments. And rightfully so. This is what happens when you give man children Twitter accounts.

    When did people turn on Campea? Only a year or so ago he was the only good one on AMC (as it was known then).

    Campea is like a dog with a bone on his negativity toward DC, he will find a negative twist on positive news.

    Watching Collider now Campea's day off though the panel have been negative toward the Matt Reeves news, saying there has been too much bad news over the last few weeks, so they find it hard to be positive. :)) They are the ones who created the stir of negativity.

    Well all this sounds lovely and the DCEU could do with some positive news.

    I've never given a damn about him, so I don't think I'm included in this comparison.

    He's everything that's wrong with industry journalism, which amounts to some jackass mouthing off about a scoop they're using as click-bait for their site, a scoop they'll later flip out over when the rest of the media take it as the fact that they purported it to be.

    Campea is a weak host that surrounds himself with women that current demographics seem to see as "hot" (who basically look like blonde college cheerleader types) and who know jack about movies, but at least they can look into the camera and give winky eyes.

    The Schmoes are the only people worth watching affiliated with Collider, and they're not even long partners with Campea, thank heavens.

    "This is not a scoop, guys! I might be wrong about this but I did hear it from someone."

    *proceeds to write as if it's fact and loads of people told him*

    *whole thing turns out to be bull*

    I can handle when journalists are wrong, but when one is knowingly wrong and writes their rhetoric anyway but tries to cover their ass it really annoys me.

    @CraigMooreOHMSS, exactly. Campea even said, RE: Affleck leaving the role, "They're telling me that Ben Affleck, make no mistake, he does want out."

    That's a verbatim quote. He has no right to act outraged when people report that he was taking it as fact, because by the way he was speaking, he was. What a drama queen.

    It still sucks me in occasionally though. I bought into Reeves backing out of negotiations a few pages back. Always hard to tell what's real and what isn't until you know for sure.

    That's why I sit back and wait for official announcements. Until then, there's no point in tossing around outrage or speculation at unsubstantiated things. The Bond 25 Production thread is a perfect example of what happens when you don't act accordingly.

    Past Campea, Collider was a pretty good place to find movie news, until they started dabbling in too many unconfirmed rumors/sources that almost always turned out to be incorrect, so I don't really bother anymore.
