Ok, so with Comic-Con comes news, surprises, reveals, and just awesomeness. Yesterday we got a new photo of Ben Affleck as Batman. Its in color this time, but he still has that "lost my puppy" sad appearance.
It starts as an interest, then you're a fan, now you're a geek.
Since he was cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne for what was originally thought of as the sequel to Man of Steel (but has since become a stand alone film titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.) we've been curious as to when Ben Affleck would get his solo film as the Dark Knight. Rumor has it (latino-review.com) that we'll be seeing him return (after a stint in 'Justice League' in May of 2017) to the cape and cowl in 2019 to begin the new franchise of Bat films.
First there was a movie. It wasn’t great, but it was memorable. I saw the movie on VHS for the first time and thought…meh. It didn’t blow me away, but the reason it was memorable was because of the title. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was intriguing and different. I can’t say I remember the advertising for the film and it wasn’t something I was looking forward to seeing, but I loved the horror and vampire genre so I wanted to see it. It starred Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, David Arquette, Rutger Hauer and in an un-credited role even Ben Affleck. It didn’t do great and after it was made into a show we found out it wasn’t made with Joss Whedon’s vision in mind. That was the summer of 1992.
In the internet age, rumors are often reported as fact and more often than not we’re misled when it comes to news about our favorite films, and television shows. The emphasis has become about breaking a story, rather than reporting the facts. This leads to casting rumors being false, script plot lines being faked, and an overall over-exaggeration from the internet community. A lightening rod for these occurrences has been news about the Man of Steel sequel. I’m gonna run down the facts of the film and get your opinions on these facts and also ask how you feel about the speculating done by some of these movie sites.
