    I think its going to be a struggle to fit so many characters into the one movie but i doing think the casting has been brilliantly done.

    Henry Cavill is no Christopher Reeve but I think he was a great Superman in Man Of Steel. (a movie that get so much hate and I can't understand why as I loved it)

    Ben Affleck was a controversial choice though so was Michael Keaton (my fav Batman) and Heath Ledger when they were cast for their respective roles in previous movies. Affleck in all the pics and clips I've seen of him seems to of nailed it and could well be the best on screen depiction of the character we have seen yet.

    Jeromy Irons is a no brainer when it comes to Alfred as he just oozes class and is a terrific actor so the only question marks are for me is Jessie Eissenberg as Luthor maybe Gal Godot as Wonder Woman as I've never seen her act though despite being small in stature looks to have the image down well and the choice as Doomsday as the villain as I think they could maybe saved that for the Justice League.

    I really hopes this film does well as im a big fan of both characters and really want their Universe to get the respect it deserves as Marvel are away ahead in that regard despite only a handful of their films actually being good.

    Yeah the dark knight was enjoyable.
    Tim Burton's Batman is my favourite with the Dark Knight coming second.

    Comic book superheroes, Star Wars figures, wearing shorts to a nice restaurant, riding scooters ... these are all things you can get away with when you're a child. But there's a generation of men today who just refuse to grow up and seem developmentally stunted in the fifth grade. At some point you need to put away your toys and put your big pants on. Respectable women don't mind raising children, but they don't want to marry one.

    Which isn't to say that you can't have fun anymore. But there's a difference between being childish and child-like.

    That is a problem. I can't blame Affleck and Cavill for this. Batman and Superman have always, and will always be, #1 and #2 in the hearts of comic book fans as far as all time superheroes, especially considering that they were literally the first and second to exist. So we have nearly a century of kids being brought up with these two. It happens.

    Marvel has the advantage of not having series of movies prior to these, so it allowed them, and the audience to familiarize themselves with one version of their heroes
    That statement is absurd. To some yeah, but to say that to all kids they are #1 and two #2. That something a communist china would say.
