CB: It’s official. The monkey is now off Ben Affleck’s back. More fans are upset over Family Guy killing off Brian Griffin than they are over Ben Affleck being cast as Batman.
Many moons ago, the DC film universe looked much different than what it does today.
Air Review: An exceptional story that fills us with learnings and passion.
There's a line from Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" that says "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone." That's also an accurate assessment of Ben Affleck's time as Batman. Though his initial casting was met with fan backlash (let's feign shock and horror here), he established himself as a credible and distinct Dark Knight. Some fans have even proclaimed him the best Batman there's ever been. The Oscar-winning filmmaker has made it clear that he no longer wants to make big franchise movies, including superhero flicks, so "The Flash" may well end up being his Batman swansong.
The petitions are still quite different, on one side we have people acting quite immature, making a petition to remove a brilliant actor from a very fitting role, Ben Affleck as Batman.
And on the other side we have a petition to revive, or somehow bring back, one of the central characters in a television show that is incredibly well known.
All in all, I am not surprised to see the Brian petition get more signatures.
My bet is Stewie will do something to time travel and prevent him from dying. They will do something to bring him back, its the oldest trick in the books. Kill off character, let people go nuts, when the craziness dies off bring the character back to make headlines again.
seeing ben afflack play batman when hes not in costume is going to be the worst my stomach turns at the thought.. might as well have justin timberlake play batman whats the difference
It's Seth MacFaranes show so it's up to him what he does with it, I like Vinny the new dog and just like Quagmire I wasn't a huge fan of Brian anyway.
People still watch Family guy?!
