No he won't. Bale brought the character to life. Something that has never been seen before in any Batman film... bar Keaton.

Yet he isn't the best Batman in the link despite bringing the character to life. He's third, not even second. Pfft!!

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?


Ben Affleck is too thick to be Batman.

The same DW that robbed the wobbly England challenger who outpunched and out-maneuvered him? You got jokes, bro.


Robbed? Tyson Fury was knocked down twice. Deontay earned serious points for the knockdowns.

Yes, he did, even in my list. He's the better Batman without a doubt. I'm just trying to point out that he had some advantages working with Nolan, a superior director than Zack; acting in a superior storyline with topnotch script, better CGI, etc. The dialogs in TDK alone is superb. We're talking of one of the best comic book movies ever. C'mon!! Bale would've stood no chance of coming close to his Batman portrayal status if he starred in the shitty BvS or Justice League.

Go read the link KoiceReloaded dropped, Ben was given a heavier suit in the movie. Zack Synder is a cunt_!! Affleck's not thick. Don't you know Affleck again? Are you mistaking him for The Rock?

This is embrassing coming from you. So, at this age of enlightment, you don't know that knocking someone down doesn't mean the person lost as long as he didn't stay down and won more points than his opponent?

He knocked him down, so what? Who landed the cleanest punches and won more points? Did Fury get TKOed? Oga, go Google the fight, Wilder lost. The dumb referee denied Fury a fairytale comeback.

So you don't know boxing is won by points in the absence of TKOs? He knocked him down, so what? Who landed the cleanest punches and won more points? Did Fury get TKOed? Oga, go Google the fight, Wilder lost. The dumb referee denied Fury a fairytale comeback.




Did I not say that Deontay won serious points for the knockdown? Or do you not know how to read?

At the end of the day, the knockdowns gave Deontay the edge when it came to points. Simple.

Still, Ben Affleck's batman looked fat and my original point still stands- Bale looked more athletic than Affleck as batman. His fights were even better and more realistic.

Next time, dont hype second rate batmen!

It's not the knockdowns that gave Wilder the edge o jare. It's the dumb Mexican judge that doesn't know zilch about awarding points in a boxing match.

How come both neutrals and well-seasoned boxing critics, as well as retired heavyweights like Lennox and co, gave Fury the W? Do you know better than the majority who exposed the foolishness of the Mexican ref? Wilder was helped by a wrong judgement. Simple!!

Who hyped Affleck? Definitely not me. My point has been well noted here. Being lean doesn't make you more athletic. Bale doesn't look more athletic than Anthony Joshua despite him being more lean than him.

Actually Bale does look more athletic. Do you see thick footballers nowadays? Do you see thick marathon runners nowadays?

Is Usain bolt not lean? Messi? Ronaldo?

See Ronaldo's lean muscles. Ogbeni, give up

The judges have made their decision, go and sleep.

Fury fought like a coward. Had he been braver, he would have won the fight. He was too scared of Wilders punching power. He was the better boxer.

Being the better boxer doesn't mean you won the fight.

critics will only rate bale batman over affleck because of the success of TDK trilogy

KoiceReloaded:


Whilst popular opinions are divided on this topic, professional critics and websites have Bale as the better Batman. Surf through the web, bro.
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by MJBOLT: 4:39pm On Apr 05, 2019

It is no surprise that the best heavyweight boxer is a lean guy. Deontay Wilder.

Anthony Joshua is a coward unless he fights Wilder or Fury

Fury fought like a coward, same accusation they've used to label Mayweather's style and yet he's unbeaten till retirement. Keep believe boxing needs no skills and knowledge behind it, just all out punching.

Unfortunately, I believe that boxing is not an art.

I prefer UFC.

Size matters a lot in boxing. If Deontay Wilder was 5 inches shorter, he would be a useless boxer.

Deontay has no skills yet he could beat the 2 most skilful heavyweight boxers in the world. Ortiz and fury. Boxing is dead.

Even Lomanchenko lost to a professional cheat called Solido.

IAmSabrina:

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.


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. Who is 'we'?
2. Bale is the actor not the character. Batman is the character.
3. The beauty of a character lies in the hands of the writer. So when you say Affleck's Batman had no character arc and whatnot, that is to be blamed on the writer(s) and director.
3. I was talking about your last point. Character and acting go hand in hand. You portray a character on film by acting. So when on one hand you said Bale was better character wise and on the other you said Affleck was better at acting the character, I just couldn't understand that.

Don't dabble into a sport you don't understand. Don't be a coward like Wilder and Fury.

Those two were offered a fair amount of money to fight the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Aj has no obligation to fight both, yet they keep dodging Aj.


Now both Wil and Fury have even dodge themselves, who are the cowards now?
