Aquaman will be featured in an upcoming "The Big Bang Theory" as the call to locate this figurine went out a week ago.

There just havent been that many titles to review lately. Batman and Superman
stuff is something he tends to do videos about whenever there's something
to rant about. :hmmm:

I don't know, TB has still found plenty of games to review. Oh well.

EDIT: Aquaman is pretty S tier in Injustice, so rejoice ye fans of Mr. Fishy.

After all, Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton have already played the part. What's so "offal" about Affleck?:hmmm:

Not really. I think he will do just fine. :up:

Can't say I've seen every movie he's been in, but off the top of my head, I thought he was great in "Good Will Hunting" and "The Town".:yep:

Exactly. He is the kind of actor that needed to mature and still does in some respects. However, I find that some that start portraying super heroes in film find this is the end of the line for their career. They get type cast. Other rolls not offered.

But TB's reviews are him playing the game and commentating on top of that.

AJ puts a lot more effort to his reviews, so he can't review as many games as TB can.

I take it you've never seen Hollywoodland? Affleck was brilliant.

Yes, Nolan managed to completely butcher the whole mythos. I'll never forgive him for that.

It didn't hurt George Clooney's, Michael Keaton's or Val Kilmer's careers. They all went on to make numerous movies after playing their Batman roles.

Let me clarify, if they play a roll two to three times it can be the end of the line. These guys played the roll once I believe. Robert Downy JR is working on type casting himself as Iron Man.

Well, if by effort you mean production value, then you are right. However, TB's reviews are typically lengthier overall than AJ's and tend to have a greater depth of game-related content. My personal preference is for TB's, as I learn a lot more about whether I will like the game or not from an extended play-style review. AJ, to me, seems a whole lot more in the way of CGI, mini-skits and general yelling than real information. Still, I enjoyed his reviews and wish he'd do them more often, like he used to.

Funny men don't make good actors, sometimes a good actor will make a comedy and it comes out okay, but this is a big casting error.

The producers will surely change their minds before writing Ben any checks to play Batman, plus he's too old to play Robin.

The whole internet is upset about this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/dorothyp...eck-as-batman/
