Twitter was abuzz last night with celebrities and average Joes alike telling the world how they felt about Ben Affleck's new role as Batman. I sat for awhile last night gathering the highlights. Will he pull it off? Only time will tell!

Anybody who reads Batman comic books knows Ben Affleck's chin was born to play Batman. Everything else is wrong. But the chin is on-point

I started out as a loyal reader of Geektyrant before emailing Joey one day about the potential of writing for Geektyrant. Now six years later I'm the managing editor of Gametyrant.com and still living the dream and giving my opinion to the geek masses! Geektyrant is my life, and I hope that shows in everything I do!
