Man of Steel can soar to your home. It seems like I just saw Henry Cavill flying on the big screen.
Here’s what I said then about the Superman reboot:

Ben Affleck finally talks about the Batman casting controversy. The star just started the promotion train for Runner, Runner so this could be the first of many quotes. While on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Affleck finally broke his silence about playing the Dark Knight in the Man of Steel sequel:

 

“It’s so awesome, I’m so excited. They called me up and said ‘do you want to do this’, and I’m like, ‘I’m not a 25 year old man are you sure?’ So they said to come down and we’ll show you what we’re doing, and it was incredible. Continue reading Ben Affleck Talks BATMAN
