“Applesauce, Bane.”

When Warner Brothers announced their still-untitled Batman/Superman movie in sort of a build up to a Justice League movie, fans were understandably nervous.  After all, Christian Bale has said time and time again he’s done with Batman, unless Christopher Nolan wins him over with an awesome fourth script.  Since Christopher Nolan is only working as a producer on what we’ll call World’s Finest, and the heavy lifting will be done by Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and DC movie universe unofficial official writer David S. Goyer, it seemed unlikely that Bale would resume growling beneath the cowl.  Fortunately, they have an Oscar-winning replacement handy.  Ben Affleck will be taking over as Batman.

Honestly, I like Ben Affleck as an actor–I always have–and while he’s not typically great, he’s usually good enough, and I think that being good enough will work in his favor as Batman.  He (hopefully) won’t try to do any crazy Batvoices, and he’ll be an acceptable middle-aged Bruce Wayne.  However, it’d be better for me if he directed World’s Finest, rather than starred in it.  After all, he did win Best Picture for Argo while also starring in the film and he shared a writing Oscar with Matt Damon.  I think if anyone can do Batman justice while delivering an AWESOME World’s Finest movie, it’d be Bfleck.  Though I think if he does do it, he should write, direct, and star.  May as well do it all if you’re going to do it right.

Then, one day, Ben Affleck can fulfill his true destiny by playing Boris Yeltsin.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
