Discussing BvS: Dawn of Justice with coworkers
-
Friend just texted me: "Off to see Lego Batman. No idea how good it will be, but it can't possibly be worse than Ben Affleck's version."
Oh come on, he wasn't that bad.
Sure he was!
Batman's not supposed to use guns and kill people. That's the one line he won't cross.
Umm... well I don't read the comics.
Me neither, but I knew that much! And it wasn't just him; none of the characters were right!
What do you mean?
I mean none of the characters were right. Superman doesn't behave like that. Batman doesn't behave like that. Alfred doesn't behave like that. Lex doesn't behave like that. And why in the world was Wonder Woman cosplaying as Xena?!?
Yeah, Lex was horrible. I like Aaron Eisenberg, but he just wasn't right for the role.
Maybe they cast him based on his prior experience playing a sociopathic billionaire CEO supervillain origin story.
Niiiice!
...huh?
Did you see The Social Network?
No
Yeah. He played Mark Zuckerberg on there.
Oh. Heh...

@RaceProUK It's such a well-established, widely-known part of his character that TVTropes uses him breaking it as the archetypical example of a hero crossing a very solid line:

Batman has turned into a buzzsaw in the comics.

Also there was the whole Frank Miller "Batman making Robin eat rats" run. Comics aren't really that good of a yardstick.
