At least he'll have the drug using alcoholic part down cold. lol


I agree he's not my first pick, but neither was Michael Keaton as Batman or Ben Alflac as DareDevil... I'm willing to give him a shot. John F. has done pretty well as a director before.

True but although keaton did well as batman tats just because we never knew he was already insane...and lets be honest....Jennifer would have been a better daredevil..

I am honest.

Ben was the perfect DareDevil. It was the other things in the movie that ruined it for me.

I don't think Jennifer Garner should have even been in the movie, much less Electra which she bore no resemblance to at all. In my opinion, which I know is a minority for geeks in our circle, she absolutely stinks (No, I didn't like Alias either.), but not nearly as bad as what they did to Bullseye.

Aw.. see now I liked Bullseye. Granted he wasnt like in the comics, but to be honest I think as a comicbook bad guy he kinda sucked.

Mainly it was the brand on the forhead and Christ complex I didn't like. Killing an old lady with airline peanuts was good.

Yes Garner stank as electra.

Yes i agree the movie Bullseye wasnt like the comic one but i think it was an improvement also.

The peanut trick was neat but all hollywood, I tried it on my plane trip last November and the chatty guy next to me just asked why I was flicking peanuts at him. The paper clip trick works though....
