The popularity of the Franchise was so high! 'cause there were sooooooooo many Transformers fans awaiting for the first live action feature of their most favourite animated cartoon!! in 2007!
Transformers was only about its existed franchise for decades! it was nothing about Bay! Why it grossed 319 in US was only due to that reason!And even in overseas it was pretty much the same reason!(but not as much as in US)
well Bateman is a good actor ! but the problem is, he is 5 years older than Bale !! He is 44 now, not more than one movie! If not he will end up looking Cavill's father!!
Whatever! now there is Cavill for the sake of there-should-be-an-actor-to-play-superman!(now i'm quite afraid of the actor WB gonna choose for Batman's role!!) Well.. see Cavill is a good actor..(he had many dialogues in Immortals than In MOS! ) But the Character of Superman which has been written by Goyer was playable by any one! There was no need of someone like Cavill to play Superman! A director must be able to take all the talent out of an actor! its hid duty! but soooooo unfortunately Snyder didn't just do it!!
SUPERMAN!!!!!! We have Henry Cavill now!!, as the third actor who plays this magnificent Superhero! (but not so magnificent Cavill, just wasted in MOS!!) Anyway WB have finally signed in an actor !!(for how many movies?? three or four or five??)
