There's big news out there.
Republicans are blaming the increase in insurance company costs on Obama, rather than the companies.
There's a war in Egypt and no one, even our government, knows which side to support.
One of the biggest fires ever is threatening our crown gem of a national park....
but all the Internet is buzzing about is a Bat.
Ben Affleck, once the half of Bennifer who gave Jennifer Lopez a Bentley because she broke a nail, or something like that, has been picked to play the Dark Knight in a movie team-up with Superman.
Comic movie fans are hoping it's a hoax, like the time the sun turned blue in Superman or those visits by Mister Mxyzptlk (you real Superman fans know what I'm talking about here.)
Those who think it's real are infuriated.
"THE Internet erupted Thursday night after Warner Bros announced that Ben Affleck will play the Caped Crusader for its Superman and Batman team-up movie," says Australia.com, showing just how world-spread the problem has become.
He was not so long ago lauded by the world, which forgot his performances in Daredevil and Gigi, when Argo won best film. Now, they are crying fowl and foul: he'd be better in a chicken suit than as the caped crusader.
What do you think and why has Affleck become such an object of ridicule who is taking the role that Adam West once made famous and even George Clooney couldn't quite pull off?
Should we give him a chance? Is there a chance he could be as great as Daniel Craig, the latest James Bond, second best to Sean Connery, and actually more like the Bond Ian Fleming described in the books?
If they make Matt Damon Superman, should we all just boycott or would it be perfect? Who would be better than Affleck?
