Why I Almost Refused Point Blank to See Batman vs Superman

So you all probably heard the rumours last week. You know the rumour; about Justin Bieber being cast as Robin in the upcoming Batman vs Superman movie. It did send the internet into meltdown, after all. Even more so than when the internet found out that Ben Affleck would be playing Batman in the movie.

And yet, I somehow completely missed this rumour until someone asked me if there was any truth to the rumour.

I was devastated to hear that Bieber might be playing Robin in Batman vs Superman. I’m really looking forward to seeing it when it comes out in 2015. Bieber being in it would ruin it completely. I’m sorry to any Bieber fans reading this (yeah, I’m not really), but that kid is a tool, and doesn’t deserve any more work. Hell, he doesn’t even deserve to be famous, and I can’t wait for the next Boy Wonder (haha, get it?) to come along and replace him as the next hottest singing sensation for tweeny boppers across the world.

But enough of the Bieber bashing. I’m not really saying anything new other than he does not deserve more work that’ll increase his popularity (actually, would Bieber fans even be interested in the Batman vs Superman movie?).

The point is I was devastated to hear that Bieber could be playing Robin in the movie, and decided right then and there that there was absolutely no way in hell I would be seeing the movie. Ever. Krampus will start handing out treats to wicked children instead of tying them up in his sack and beating them before that ever happens. I’m also unsure how I completely missed that rumour. It is (or was) big news. I guess it’s become so natural for me to cover my ears shouting “Lalalalalalala!” whenever something Bieber related comes up that I don’t even notice I’m doing it anymore.

So yeah, for anyone else who somehow completely missed last week’s hottest rumour that sent the internet into meltdown, Bieber was said to be playing Robin in Batman vs Superman. Now you’re probably enraged and freaking out that the movie has been completely ruined before it even had a chance.

But a quick google search later, and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief; turns out the rumour was nothing more than a hoax. I can see Batman vs Superman once again.

Phew!

I don’t know how everyone else reacted to this rumour. Like I said, I completely missed it until it had been confirmed to be a hoax. And, frankly, I didn’t care enough to find out whether people were for or against Bieber as Robin. Although I think it would be pretty obvious based on whether or not they like Bieber or not. But the important thing is that Batman vs Superman has dodged a serious bullet, and once again I’m so looking forward to seeing it in 2015.

Peace out!

In Which I Briefly Give My Thoughts About Ben Affleck and Batman

Yeah, so you've all heard the news about Ben Affleck being Batman in the Man of Steel sequel and if, for some reason, you hadn't heard, well, now you know. You've probably got your own thoughts about him being Batman. 

I'm actually on the fence myself. I'll wait and see how Affleck does as the Bat before passing judgement. 

I mean after all, (dare I say it and risk being unpopular?) Christain Bale wasn't all that great in the recent Batman movies. It was Christopher Nolan and the amazing line up of villains that really carried that trilogy. Think about it, about each movie. Who's the most memorable character in each? 

The villains, right?

It was those villains that challenged Batman and made him who he is, forced him to look inside himself and improve himself. It's the villains that define Batman. 

So there's really not much for Affleck to live up to as Batman. 

Well, ok, maybe there is with all of the previous Batmans. But that would be more "Who was the best Batman?" conversation over drinks. 

What I'm getting at is that there's plenty of room for Affleck to make the role his own. He could be one of the best Batmans ever. Or he could be the worst. We don't know yet. We have to wait and see him in Batman vs Superman. One thing is for sure though, I'm really looking forward to seeing The Dark Knight kick the Man of Steel's ass. 

And don't forget, Affleck is one of those lucky few who gets to say this, 

Peace out!
