Two words - Ben Farking Affleck.

He directed and acted in last year's Best Picture winner, Argo (one of many critically acclaimed films in recent years). Now he's coming back to completely dump all over his progress by becoming Batman, which will surely remind us of his Bennifer days. Based on the uproar over the decision to cast Ben as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the "Man of Steel" sequel, it is obvious that fans are not pleased. In light of the strong negative reaction the announcement garnered, Farkistan has rounded up five Farkers for your consideration to replace Affleck as the new Batman.

one_eighty_two: While his previous credits are anemic (his series of PSAs for early prostate cancer screening did not end well), one_eighty_two has the acting chops to pull off Batman. His four-pack-a-day habit of unfiltered Lucky Strikes gifted him with a voice that has just the right amount of raspiness, and his untreated case of TMJ has given him the necessary clenched jaw. Not to mention that he's, you know, not Ben Affleck.

bmckenna: A bit of a darkhorse to play the Caped Crusader, bmckenna has one significant advantage over the rest of these farkers: a clinically diagnosed bat fetish. All his hygiene products, clothing, and home furnishings are made entirely by bats, or from bat-byproducts. He is a prolific writer and reader of bat fanfic and claims to use echolocation to navigate through his surroundings. While his more deviant behaviors with bats would sicken most sane humans, he avoids criminal prosecution because our legal system has woefully few laws on the subject of bat molestation. Also, he is not Ben Affleck.

Rampage3: For pure volume of acting talent, no Farker comes close to the filmography of Rampage3. Granted, of his 1,341 film credits, 1,339 of them are adult films. Weird Moldovian adult films, where Yak milk is currency and the naked women look like they're wearing bikinis made of hair. He has starred in more pornographic Batman-themed parody films than any other living actor. We polled (what? it is a legitimate verb in this context) Farkistan's membership and asked if they would rather see Rampage3 play Batman, or see Ben Affleck in "How Stella Got Her Tube Packed." While the results are confidential, I can tell you that Rampage3 won. It should also be noted that Rampage3 is not Ben Affleck.

CountryMouse: He's not the Batman actor we deserve, but he is the Batman actor we need right now. What the hell does that even mean? Was that previous question rhetorical? What about the sentence before this one? Look Bob, you're going to have to trust me on this one. We need CountryMouse for reasons I cannot articulate (aside from the fact that he is NOT Ben Affleck). It's a "me problem" and I'm working on it.

stargatesg1: stargatesg1 is also not Ben Affleck. Wikipedia defines Cosplay as "Cosplay, short for 'costume play', is an activity in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea from a work of fiction." Around here, we define Cosplay as, "stargatesg1." What follows are just two examples of his excellent Batman Cosplay:

It's uncanny - isn't it? Anyone who puts that much dedication into the costume work and effort into achieving the necessary physique to play the character...would make a much better Batman than Affleck.

Hopefully, Hollywood will wake up and quit pissing all over our favorite DC heroes. I mean seriously. Ben Affleck as Batman?? Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern?? What's next, Dane Cook as the Flash? That slut from Twilight as Wonder Woman? Ugh. the only way this movie can be saved is if they cast Matt Damon as Robin and play it off as some sort of sick, cruel, unfunny joke.



tl;dr - Fark has a new gov:

one_eighty_two, SoTC
bmckenna
Rampage3
CountryMouse
stargatesg1

Congratulations on the newly elected, Fark!  :)

As for Ben Affleck, he's never been more than a speck on the radar, save for Fargo (which few saw, but somehow garnered "best movie") and Good Will Hunting (which was actually epic.)

 

Affleck is only a marginally decent actor.  Excellent screen writer, verrrrrrrrry average actor.

 

The Batman franchise suffered (IMO) after Keaton's blockbuster performance, and none of the sequels have matched the original (for quality or acting.)  That being said, Affleck can't possibly screw up the role of our favorite winged crusader any worse than George Clooney did.  :popcorn:
