Ben Affleck will play Batman in the Man of Steel sequel

The interweb went crazy yesterday when Warner Bros. announced that Ben Affleck would don the cowl as the caped crusader in the 2015 sequel to The Man of Steel. Alot of fanboys are hating on Affleck, labeling him 'too vanilla' to play the Dark Knight.

Personally, I am intrigued by the casting choice. Affleck has the suave, cool grace to pull off Bruce Wayne, and the physical size to be a very imposing figure in the cowl. If I met that square jaw dressed as Batman in a dark alley, I would think twice before I picked a fight.
For all the fanboys who think Affleck will just be another George Clooney, or Val Kilmer...I would ask, did you expect genius out of Heath Ledger in the role of the joker? He shocked the acting world with this dark portrayal, even winning the Oscar for best actor posthumously. I know I didn't certainly expect that out of the star of 10 Things I Hate About You. My point, leave the guy alone, and wait to pass judgment on his performance until after he has actually had a chance to give it. You never know, he may surprise you. The as of yet untitled sequel is scheduled to hit theatres in July of 2015.

Jennifer Lawrence looks fantastic as Mystique

Bryan Singer, the Director for the upcoming X-Men film: Days of Future Past, just posted this teaser photo of Jennifer Lawrence on his twitter feed.  Here's hot young commodity Lawrence, in full make-up as Mystique in her natural form.
A sequel to X-Men: First Class, Days of Future Past borrows its subtitle directly from the comics, and with any luck, will share some of the major plot points, including the introduction of Bishop, and split and divergent time lines.
But back to what's important.  Jennifer Lawrence looks HOT as a yellow eyed ginger, covered only in blue prostetics. Sadly, not as hot as Rebecca Romijn Stamos from the original X-Men films, but hot enough that a lot of people are going to take notice.
I know I did, and this taught me something interesting about myself.
