There are those that are outraged over the fact that Ben Affleck will be Batman. I have to admit that I don't like the idea but I'll wait until I see the movie before I judge his performance. As of now, we don't know what type of Batman Affleck will play.
Will he be brooding and angry like Christian Bale or a detective like Michael Keaton?
The one thing that we do know is that auduiences will come in droves just to see how Affleck does as Batman in the Summer of 2015, and that means millions of dollars for Warner Brothers.

As a Superman fan, I was a little dejected when I heard about the tone of the new Superman movie, "MAN OF STEEL." I haven't really gotten into THE NEW 52 either so I wondered where a fan like me can go if he wants something new but familiar.
SMALLVILLE SEASON 11 is that comic book. The book is based off of the TV Series that ran for 10 seasons. It has all the familiar elements such as the romance with Lois Lane, and his greatest rival, Lex Luthor, but with a Superman that's still young and learning. It also features guest stars like BATMAN and for this month, WONDER WOMAN.
I know that it's not a perfect comic and sometimes it has plot holes but it is something that comforts a long-time fan such as myself who likes it. I would recommend it to any Superman fan.

RAMPAGE JACKSON
It was announced
at BELLATOR 97 that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will fight Tito Ortiz
on November 2nd on BELLATOR's first Pay-Per View according to MMAFIGHTING(you
can read the article here).
TITO ORTIZ
For weeks
everyone in the media thought it would be Roy Jones Jr. fighting
"Rampage" in a boxing match.
Last night
Jackson expressed his admiration and respect for Roy Jones but said that he
wanted his first fight in Bellator to be an MMA fight. Tito Ortiz then came to
the ring and the two MMA legends had a staredown.
BELLATOR is using
two veterans that both hardcore and casual fans know to attract attention to
their product. From a marketing standpoint, it's a smart decision. Both Tito
and Rampage can sell this fight. The actual encounter may not be great but
BELLATOR needed something to attract the attention of the media and the fans and they have.
Hopefully,
BELLATOR will feature a strong undercard to showcase their young talent so that
they grow their fanbase.
If not, then
BELLATOR may lose a lot of money on this Pay-Per-View.
