Get through the parenting anecdotes to hear him talk about the internet rage. The first comment I read about his casting was a lot worse than, "Noooooo".

Not really sure what is happening here -- did Baffleck finally lose his senses altogether? -- but during an interview with Spanish-language news outlet Cines Argentinos, Ben Affleck offered up the following response when asked about his plans for the untitled, future solo Batman project:

“I think what I would do is, I would probably do in some ways what Zack [Snyder] did with this movie, which is to borrow great stories from the great comic books but create an original story around it. I wouldn’t want fans to already know the story, but I would borrow — steal — great things that have been done before in the comics.”

Warner Bros has revealed that Daredevil himself will play Batman in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman/Batman crossover film, which will be released on July 17, 2015.

So, there's that. Thoughts? Feelings? Plans to move to Mars (can I hitch a ride)?

The Justice League trailer debuted at Comic-Con over the weekend, and besides Jason Momoa drinking like a fish (literally though, takes a fifth of whiskey to face) and kicking genuine ass as Aquaman; it didn't seem like too many folks out there loved it. Check it out below if you haven't seen it yet though:



Quick side-note, but Wonder Woman was a whole nother story. That lady's glowing Lasso of Truth is not to be messed with, man..See the trailer for that below:



Anyways, if you take a look at this tweet you'll be quick to see the enhanced image of that show that flashed for a hot sec on-screen right when Bruce Wayne entered Barry Allen's apartment in hopes to recruit 'The Flash' during the Justice League trailer:

A nice catch indeed! Any thoughts on either of those trailers though?

Remember how crappy 2003's Daredevil was? Ben Affleck does, and he wants you to know, when he plays Batman, it won't be as bad. In an interview with NPR on his new film Gone Girl, Affleck had this to say about playing The Caped Crusader:

Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil. I have regrets about all the movies that I don't think were executed properly. ... Look, if I thought we were remaking Daredevil, I'd be out there picketing myself ... and that goes for other movies as well that I haven't been happy with. You know, I'm hard on myself and I have exacting standards and I want to do excellent work and I don't always succeed, but I think you have to start out with that drive.

[Batman] was written by Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, who's not a comic guy. And it's directed by Zach Snyder, who's a incredibly magical sort of visual stylist who's steeped in the comic world. And you have this sandwich of talents. I felt very confident about it. ... I thought it would be nice to make one of these movies really, really good.
