Ben Affleck as Batman: A Fangirls 2 Cents!

Ben Affleck as Batman: A Fangirls 2 Cents!

Where were you the day Ben Affleck was announced as the next Batman?  I was in the theater waiting for The World’s End to start when Facebook told me the good news.  Yes, I said good news.  Now I know since this announcement some fanboys have gone crazy on message boards stating they hate the casting, one went so far as to get a petition started to have Ben Affleck barred from the role…come on guys, really?  But I ask you, what’s so wrong with Ben?

 

Let’s face it, he’s a good actor. He can show emotion with the best of them, and Batman is a very layered and emotional character, is he not?  I also like the idea of an older, wiser Batman.  Not that Affleck is old by any means, and he certainly looks good, but these attributes should balance out a younger, less experienced Superman.  That’s just my opinion, but it seems valid in my head.

If you keep up with my reviews, you know that I wasn’t a fan of Man of Steel.  I didn’t have any real issues with Henry Cavill as Superman, but I think Affleck is the much better actor and hopefully he can bring out a better performance from Cavill as both Superman and Clark Kent.  Let’s hope there’s some good chemistry between these superheroes at the very least.

If nothing else, this news makes me excited to see the Batman/Superman movie.  I wasn’t for a sequel to Man of Steel at all, but now I’m sitting up and paying attention. We’ll just have to wait until July 17^th 2015 to see what Affleck will do with the character.  I think he’s going to do a great job as long as he stays away from creating a stupid voice for his caped crusader, and we don’t get nipples on the bat suit!

A New Fangirl Adventure!

A New Fangirl Adventure!

Dawn and I are always looking for new ways to share our nerd news and opinions with other Fangirls  Fanboys, so what better way to do it than a podcast!  We have joined forces with our good friends Nicholas Strange from Strange Amusements and fellow TV Fangirl Holly to create Strange Adventures podcast!  

For months, we have wanted to create a podcast but getting it off the ground was proving to be a challenge.  Nick was having the same issue trying to get his own podcast off the ground for Strange Amusements.  It seemed to us that combining our Fangirl adventures and Nick’s love of all things nerdy and horror-related seemed a no-brainer.  So, Strange Adventures podcast was born!

For our first episode, we chose to talk about Man of Steel and Marvel vs. DC in the cinema.  We had a lot of fun with this topic, even if some fanboys and fangirls don’t agree with us.  We welcome feedback and show suggestions; it’s all part of the fun with a podcast! 

We hope you download and enjoy our first Strange Adventures podcast!  We have some great upcoming shows planned and we hope you come along for the adventure with us.

You can download our first podcast and all future podcasts at
