Hello fellow Escapist.
With the recent news of Ben Affleck being the new Batman, there has been a lot of negative fan back lash mostly from die hard Dark Knight/Nolan fans. To add to that with Man of Steel not favouring many Superman fans what exactly is the problem here? Certain Batman fans can't move on from the Nolan trilogy and I want to know why? Nolan says he has done all he wanted to do with that super hero and Bale said, and I respect him for this, he doesn't feel up for doing the role again no matter the money thrown at him. Kinda similar with Superman fans. I most hear how no one can match Christopher Reeves but really should we move on from those movies and start something new that people won't pick and nit about. Now Man of Steel 2 will be a Superman vs Batman movie which I am personally upset about because this was meant to be a Superman story not Batman, who we know will just overshadow in the movie.
Main question is for both Batman Fans and Superman fans, what are your thoughts on all of the press and news and do you really think Man of Steel 2 would be a good idea with the whole Superman vs Batman storyline?
Also to add has any one of you moved on from the past yet with the Nolan trilogy and willing to accept the new and has any Superman fans been in favour of a new direction of Clark Kent?
