JeromeBlack, Bale looks more athletic than Affleck? In which world? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 1:27pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
I can't believe that some people are actually equating the forgettable Affleck's Batman to legendary Bale's Dark Knight, and worse, picking Affleck's over Bale's. Now, I have seen it all. ![]() Please, watch this YouTube video. It is done by WatchMojo.com, YouTube's number one movie review channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xzW82ewq6A If you're still in doubt, kindly peep into this LINK to see where both ranked in history. Like someone said in the YouTube comment section, Affleck may be Batman, but Christian Bale is THE DARK KNIGHT. Both are incomparable. Bale's Batman is by far the best Batman I've seen onscreen. It's not even a contest. 1 Like |

Actually here for DC and Marvel wins this year....great things to come. |

KoiceReloaded:Ironically Saw the TDK yester night and what a beautiful superhero movie...well crafted and Christian Bale embodies what it means to be "Batman"...apart from not owing the role, Ben Affleck was also a victim of an insipid CGI inspired Batman (Especially in Dawn of Justice, which remains one of the worst mainstream superhero movie i have seen)...Any future Batman plot involving B.Affleck should be discarded, and leave Zack snyder out of this ( This man and dark, less humour narrative are one, doesn't mean i don't want to see his future project tho, not just in DCEU) |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 1:50pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
oyaskii: Thankfully, DC have parted ways with Affleck. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Perhaps, Affleck's Batman would have turned out differently if it weren't for the crappy CGI and flat script... we will never know. What's important right now is the fact that Bale outshone him in that role. Bale owned it, morally and artistically. |

LITTLE ITALY...6/10 GENRE: Romance,comedy,drama A good but predictable rom-com movie. The plot was quite cliché, but nevertheless it put smiles on my face, as some scenes were very funny and quirky. The acting was quite average & it had few songs that weren't even catchy, but most importantly it had a good message. All in, I enjoyed the flick, it was far better than CRAZY RICH ASIANS. |

THREE KINGS...7/10 GENRE: Action, comedy This is no war flick, even though the settlings was a war zone. The story was quite original & the act from the 3 main cast( George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Ice Cube) were exceptionally good, there was a balanced ratio between action & comedy genre(both were at equilibrium). It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was quite an enjoyable heist flick which was worth my time. |

THE PACIFIER....6/10 GENRE: Action, Comedy, Drama The movie is for kids, yes I get it, but the choice of cast was a no for me. Vin Diesel making a transition from a typical badass macho character to a comedian doesn't really work for me. There are quite a number of actors that ought to stick to their known genre as making a transition to other genres wouldn't favour them nor would they be able to convey the emotions of the character they play, thus, its always seems as if they were forced to play such roles. Vin Diesels should better stick to the pure action genre, which he's good at( imagine him, dancing to the sound of music). |

SNITCH.....7/10 GENRE: Action, Drama, Thriller First off, this movie isn't the regular hardcore action flick Dwayne Johnson is quite known for, nevertheless, it was a nice movie as his act made, the flick so believable for me, with the way he demonstrated an aptitude for dramatic acting. Though the premise wasn't that realistic, but it was really an intense ride for me as most scenes left me emotional & edgy. This movie goes to show that Dwayne Johnson is quite versatile as regards transition from the genre of his comfort zone to other genres. |

KoiceReloaded: Am a huge fan of Affleck, but truth be told, as regards who's the best Batman cast is, it's Bale, there is no argument about that at all, Bale not only owned that character, he brought it home. |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 2:40pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
JeromeBlack: Bale was not "fat" as you wrote earlier. Granted Bale was slimmer, it doesn't make him more athletic looking than Affleck. So, because Bale is more slimmer than AJ the boxer, he looks more athletic than him? Nothing Koice wrote that I didn't know. I said Affleck would've made a better Batman if not for the crappy CGI, mediocre storyline and insipid script by Zack. That's my way of agreeing that Bale was a better Batman than Affleck, but he'd have been worse if he acted his batman during Affleck era. Batman in BvS was one of the most average batman ever thanks to a useless script and irritating CGI. Put Bale in the BvS and he'd look as poor as Affleck was. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 2:44pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
MJBOLT: Don't you mind JeromeBlack, talking as if Batman in comics was lean as Bale. Batman has the physique of Affleck!! |

Beorn: Nigga please. You do know you that an highly talented actor can carry a film, right? Christian Bale is a better actor than Ben Affleck, and has a superior acting range. If Bale did reprise his Batman role on BvS, the film'd be competing with TDK as DC's best superhero film of the 21st century. What Affleck had going for him are charm and physique, that's all. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 3:06pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
MJBOLT: Whilst popular opinions are divided on this topic, professional critics and websites have Bale as the better Batman. Surf through the web, bro. |

IAmSabrina:What do 'character wise' and 'acting' mean? Are they not the same? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 3:08pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
IAmSabrina: Character carry extra points since it's the epitome of method acting. At this, Bale owned the Batman role. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 3:14pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
KoiceReloaded: That's not true. You said it yourself, BvS had flat script and useless CGI. The movie was bleh. No matter how talented an actor is, there's a limit to the height he can carry a movie to. Bale being a better actor than Affleck is not the issue here, but that body-wise, stage prescence and voice, are more abundant in Affleck to portray batman better than Bale. Bale wouldn't have gotten to the 3rd position in the link you dropped if he's the batman in BvS. That linkeeven praised Affleck for trying in a shitty movie. BvS' poor storyline fucked_ things up for Affleck. |

Beorn: Beorn: Sharrap there, both of you! Whi told you that the comics Batman is built like a weightlifter? Do you think Batman is bane? Take s look at the classic Batman cartoon with bale Batman. Lean muscle.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 3:16pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
KoiceReloaded: Bale is the better Batman, but he's helped by a superior storyline and a brilliant director in Christopher Nolan. Pair him with that useless Zack Synder and watch him become a forgettable Batman character. I still insist that Bale being slimmer doesn't in anyway make him more athletic looking than Affleck. No frigging way. 1 Like |

Beorn: And you conveniently forgot where the link also said and I quote: "Bale had already cemented himself as THE Batman for a generation; Christian would be a tough act to follow. Sorry, Ben Affleck." There's more to Batman than just wearing a chunky suit, bro. |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Beorn: 3:20pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
JeromeBlack: Batman in that cartoon is not lean. Are we seeing different pictures or what? And dude, Affleck doesn't look like a weight lifter. You're confusing the abs artificially given by the suit too. In that cartoon pic, Was the suit the same as the movie's? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 3:22pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
Beorn: No he won't. Bale brought the character to life. Something that has never been seen before in any Batman film... bar Keaton. |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 3:26pm On Apr 05, 2019 |
troubleseller:Uhm, no they're not. When we talk "character", we're talking of the fictional character being portrayed. When we talk "acting", we're talking of the actor portraying said character As a character, Bale is way ahead of Affleck. One might say it's unfair because Bale had 3 movies for character arc. The significance of theme of each film and villains played great role in the development of Batman as a character. On another side, Snyder & Affleck got Batman the legend, Snyder had equal or more chance to use the backstory to define Batman as a character. He partly got it right but for the major part he screwed up terribly. As for acting, you can't blame Ben Affleck for terrible script but he did okay with whatever he had. He did look good as dumb frustrated bully. There wasn't much for Ben to compare with Christian Bale since the character development is not there, no emotional arcs. It would be unfair to compare for now. Ben Affleck did look great as both Bruce Wayne and Batman in costume. KoiceReloaded:Character may be important but you write off the rest too easily. They're still very important. That said, I think it's one of Bale's best roles honestly. Something that Joker said in the dark knight that had some merit is "Don't talk like one of them, you're not. Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're a freak. Like me. They just need you right now." I think that's true. Aside from Bale himself, the Nolan trilogy was able to make Batman out to be this entity that lurked in the shadows rather than this guy who strictly worked with the GCPD. It's also most likely true that the GCPD thought Batman was some fucking weirdo but the truth is, they needed him in their darkest hour. 1 Like |
