It still is today and most of the tweets are very cringeworthy.
This whole thing is embarrassing. It's a comic book movie for fucks sake not the presidency.

Somewhere, Zack Snyder is breathing a sign of relief. Two years from now, people will blame Affleck for everything wrong with this movie... thus giving that talentless hack Snyder at least a few more years of life in Hollywood.
I wonder how many of the 'lol loser get laid get a life' people get outaged over video game news
I dunno, let's make this exact thread on the Gaming side.
Wow. People need to grow the fuck up.
Seriously if they obsessed about the actual tragedies in the world as much as they do this we'd be so much better off, but alas whoever stars as your favorite superhero is more important than a starving child.

real talk: this is fucking IR-REL-E-VANT, this movie will be garbage and DC will stay losing
now where's the "Bradley Cooper shouldn't be Rocket Raccoon" poll

video game outrage is another hilarious thing
What if it will just be Bruce Wayne talking with Clark and Lex Luther scenes and only at the very very very end Batman shows up but movie ends, just batman from behind btw.
I can see people liking that, let Ben do his Argo, The Town acting stuff and leave the action hero stuff to Superman

Hahahahah!
It's just a movie people. Relax!!
is Ben a box office draw?
Don't really get what people are up in arms about. But anyway, if this move to pick a controversial actor for the role was intentional, then smart move by Warners. People will be talking about the movie to no end, and by the time it rolls around even more people will want to watch it ( enough to make up for those 'hardcore Ben Affleck haters' who will refuse to watch it ) than had it been an unknown actor, just to see how it turns out. Like they say, all publicity is good publicity.
Did you not see the petitions to stop Devil May Cry, FF13 from going Multi?

No one's actually saying this? Like at all?
Just about as effective as fanfictions

Is anyone a box office draw? People only care about specific actors when they're playing familiar characters nowadays (with rare exceptions, usually based on actors sticking to established character archetypes, before anyone screams "ADAM SANDLER THO" at me). Ben Affleck playing Batman means nothing to anyone at the moment.

For some reason I saw this coming.

Remember when all of the internet (including GAF) got extremely angry about Heath Ledger as the joker?

I signed one of them as "Reindeer Games" and expressed support for Affleck as the new Baleman.

Maybe they can petition to make Man of Steel a good movie.

Every person who signs this will see the movie at least twice.

Of course not, I meant if they put in the same amount of effort that they do for something as trivial as this they could actually make a difference. Sorry if it came off like I was saying some people don't care about starving children.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Ouch. On the plus side, maybe John Stewart for the eventual JL movie.
(sic? or some brilliant composer joke I missed?)
I'm sure they'll find a way to bring some part of Bale's performance to Affleck.
Good punch in the throat would do it...

This goes as far back as Michael Keaton, funny enough.

These folks must really be suffering from some sort of brain Afflecktion if they think this will get them anywhere.
Has there ever Ben a successful example of something like this working?
It'd be a dark knight indeed if WB bend to this kind of.... uh.... injustice.
...Batman.

Yeah, no. Zack Synder is a great director and this movie will most likely be great because of him.
I don't think this beats Batman fans sending death threats to reviewers who gave The Dark Knight Rises bad reviews.

Oh, I definitely agree with that. Especially with this being so meaningless. Sorry about the tone of my post.
This is even sadder them the petitions.
Oh man I forgot about that. RT removed their comments sections to reviews after that as well.
What the fuck is wrong with people? I love movies and games as much as anyone, but death threats and petitions? Beyond stupid.
