Perspective - Batman vs. Superman

[keiramarcos]

Okay,

I realize the recent casting of Ben Affleck has made some people... sort of flip their shit. BUT... let's talk about this:

IF this Batman:
AND this is Superman:

I'm going to go on record RIGHT NOW and say, I ship it.

I ship it so hard that I've already mentally wrote 100,000 words dedicated to all the grudge fucking I'm picturing.

Also, my husband broke this news to me first and I just stared for a few seconds then nodded and said, "Yeah, I could... yeah I totally ship that."

I can totally say I'd read that shit.

Not normally a superman fan... but gosh the newest ones hot.

:: Stares ::

How in the hell do you get around the super!sperm and masses of neoprene?

And when can I expect to get that 100K in my inbox please?

Because I can see Ben as Bruce, it's just him as the Bat that I have problems with. Maybe because I still see him as that blind superhero... Matt Maddox?

Oh, well. :: looks forward to the pretty ::

~L

Why, yes. I am shallow. And totally driven by my hormones. This shouldn't be news to *anyone*.

[melodysparks.livejournal.com]

Just the thought of the pairing is sooo, sooo hot.

I can say now that you ship it I will read it! But then I love all your work. (Ive been rereading The Ties That Bind again. I love that universe.)

[keiramarcos]

I canon we know that Superman slept with Lois Lane so "supersperm" isn't a problem.

[fanarts-series.livejournal.com]

Hubby is kind of awesome, we should open a secret circle of "the more incredible badass smartass hubbies of the world"

I'm a little disappointed because i would have loved to see Tyler Hoechlin as Batman but yeah Benny kinda work for me.
Lilke the boy a lot.

And for finish you are a fucking cocktease *100 000* of virtual words for this ship, you realize that in my head if you jump into a ship i imagine already the tons of art that i could make.

[azurehart.livejournal.com]

I'm personally a long time shipper of Superman/Jimmy Olsen. I blame Scribe and her one Clark/Jimmy fic for that.

I also ship Batman/Flash.

I regret nothing.

[keiramarcos]

So you're saying I performed an Inception on you?

LOL

[fanarts-series.livejournal.com]

Yes i think so, i'm so easy.
For you and your eyes candies.

[ladyholder.livejournal.com]

And we all know that you have *rarely* met a bit of canon you won't mutilate.

Besides, it's funny. In a sick sort of way, but still!

I could totally see Tyler Hoechlin as Bruce Wayne/Batman. You've got that whole dark mysterious, gruff thing that's so common with Derek Hale for the Batman side and then you've got the seductive, charming guy who charmed the lady deputy at the station and Allison when he told her he was a friend of Scott's to take her home for the Bruce Wayne side. I'm kinda stupid just thinking about it... *drools* yeah, that is very hot! LOL!

[fanarts-series.livejournal.com]

You and me babe. Tyler is perfect to this style of work.

[iamaslashaddict.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was kinda a little disappointed when I heard and had a "WTF were the casting directors thinking" moment because I think Daredevil was a total wash and Ben Affleck isn't up high on the acting scale for me. But... on a purely ascetic level, I would totally ship that! And, if you wrote it I am sure I would love it, because let's be honest here... I've read and loved pretty much everything you've written. You've even got me into pairings/fandoms I've never even considered before... i.e Harry/Hermione is quickly becoming a favorite even though the pairing never sparked an interest before and Sherlock/Watson though I've never even seen the show, lol!

[iamaslashaddict.livejournal.com]

*nods* It may be my massive crush on him talking, but I would totally campaign to have that gorgeous man play Batman. *grins* Though the Ben Affleck (Batman)/Henry (Superman) eye candy is certainly visually appealing... if not acting wise a choice I would have made.

[sarehkert.livejournal.com]

So a gorgeous man playing batman has people 'flip their shit' Really.

I'll read, so you've solved the supersperm, how about the neoprene... I'm sure batman will have the right tool for the job on his tool belt!

[hermya.livejournal.com]

Ah yes the trusty Batstrip 5000, cuts through clothing in less time than it takes to say 'I'll get the batlube'.

I've been so corrupted.

[keiramarcos]

LMAO.

Some people need their head looking at!

[hellbells101.livejournal.com]

I am so with you all. The 100k tease is plan mean :( However I will soak up any words you write with this pairing.

The reason for the title is this ridiculous petition.

MAYBE THEY'VE NEVER READ SLASH SO DON'T UNDERSTAND?

[chris-king-2005.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, pretty.

*slips the smut bunnies a little high test*

[blackrosetat.livejournal.com]

Had to delete my last comment because I apparently can't type when I have cramps.

OMFG. You just totally changed my perspective....

Larry Niven

[cjfens.livejournal.com]

Any time someone ships Superman, all I can do is remind them of this: http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html

But I'd ship those two pretty boys I other roles...

Re: Larry Niven

[keiramarcos]

lol

[keiramarcos]

;-)

[stageira.livejournal.com]

They are both attractive (although Cavill also gets extremely hot from me), but I have doubts as to the chemistry since Affleck is incapable of such a thing I believe (except with his wife).

It won't be the first time that 2 pretty faces are together on screen and nothing happens.

(I will admit to being biased, cause I really wanted Richard Armitage for this.)

[celia311.livejournal.com]

A writer I have on my f-list started shipping what she calls SuperBat a few months ago... There's some pretty steamy fic with that pairing out there. And if you join in I'll do a fan girl squee ;)

[desertpoet]

I could ship them easily but I'm still not excited for the batman movie. Maybe i'll just stick to the fanfic on this one.

[xandrabelle.livejournal.com]

Oh pish, if Superman can have a super suit, he can have super condoms and super lube.

I could totally ship Batman/Superman. Grudge fucking would be awesome.

[rabidfan.livejournal.com]

I was sort of confused (tho not concerned, 'cause it's a movie, people, not life) by the choice of Affleck but I had totally forgotten the new Superman. Now? It makes perfect sense. Neither one can act their way out of a wet sack but they're certainly pretty!

[jademac2442.livejournal.com]

Sigh. I would read anything you ship.

[em_kellesvig]

I don't know you very well yet (just friended you a few weeks ago), but if this is how you troll your husband, pleased to meetcha! :D

*takes notes*

[keiramarcos]

You should read through my "trolling my husband" tag.

[crazysexyslash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Scribe got me with that one too. Totally a Clark/Jimmy shipper because of that fic.

But I'll totally read some Bats/Supes grudge sex from you, Kiera.

[ladymina.livejournal.com]

Finally something funny to read amidst the amount of people on my fb page who are losing their fucking mind about that casting as if the world depends on it *sigh
I would read it, as I said I'll read whatever you write
You are welcome to kick my ass for not commenting too - but I usually find your updates when I should go to sleep, then read it anyway and sometimes just go on with my next day instead of sleep

[ymfaery]

... Batman got recast again? *blink blink blink*

How many actors is that now? Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, West if you want to go back that far.. wow, Affleck makes number six. And that's not including the animated versions, or whoever showed up on Smallville (I assume a Bruce Wayne showed up there, anyway).

[fashi0n-mistake.livejournal.com]

Yeah those were pretty much my thoughts too tbh.

[indigocat.livejournal.com]

If you really want to back in time, Lewis G Wilson (1943)and Robert Lowrey(1949)

[silentflux]

I would totally read that, lol :) I wasn't so sure about the casting when I heard, but after it sank in... it'll definitely be interesting... And with your fic? It'll rock!

[ymfaery]

I was trying to think of living actors and assumed anyone who played Batman before the 60s have a good chance of being dead. :)

[karasumaakane]

x3 I love this perspective.

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

Shipping Batman/Bruce with people freaks me out. He's so emotionally damaged I can never see it going well.

[keiramarcos]

I didn't say it would be healthy grudge fucking.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

you write it... I'll so be there reading it!

I'm not much into either Bat- or Superman but a crossover fic by you sounds fantastic... so how do we bribe you?

[ysta calden (from livejournal.com)]

Now you just make me think about how hard Clark/Superman would have it in a TTB-verse if he didn't identify as Dom. Which I honestly don't see. Switch at most.

[ysta calden (from livejournal.com)]

There have now been more Batmans than Bonds. Considering 007 has a handwavey excuse almost built in to explain it, and how bad many of the Batman films are percived to be, it worries me that they keep trying.

[ddarkbloom (from livejournal.com)]

I would definitely read that. And ship it.

another scribe fan!

[kelly scanlon (from livejournal.com)]

Another Scribe fan!

Yes, totally absolutely agreed, Superman/Olsen shipper, but when it comes to these two as Batman and Superman, I can see that too.

Regret nothing? What is there to regret other than this needs to be written now and we have to wait for it?

Keira, pleassssse. Whimpering pleas for slashy goodness...

[mass-hipgnosis.livejournal.com]

WORD. And that is a Batman who looks like he would be a total fucking bastard about leaving beard-burn absolutely EVERYWHERE. Which I totally want to read about and may have to write myself. Damn those new-fandom sneak attacks!

[jya-bd-cp-ttgb.livejournal.com]

Ben's yum, and so's the dude playing Supes, it's just...

they're not Batman and Superman. They're just not.

What the Krypton was wrong with Tom Welling?!

[jya-bd-cp-ttgb.livejournal.com]

Can't remember. Stopped watching it when Michael Rosenbaum left. IMDB maybe?

[fanomy.livejournal.com]

Ditto, in general.
