This attitude tends to prevent her from forming an unbiased opinion on his acting abilities...somewhat.

I definitely find him self indulgent as well. I really believe that he means well with all the stuff he's been trying to do in New Orleans... but omg, it is the essence of self indulgence - doing what HE wants, not necessarily what would be best for anyone.
Sorry, thread hijack off. Back to Ryan Reynolds!

Apparently that's not what the producers have in mind if they are looking for box office appeal, of any kind.

You can cast an unknown as Superman and people will still go to see the movie. That might not be the case with RJ, as unfortunate as that is.

I want the first movie to do gonzo box office...how else will we see a majority of the books made into sequels.
The Subway Saviour scene will be a violent work of cinematic art.
Heh.

Wouldn't it be freaking amazing if he helmed Repairman Jack Begins?
Now THAT would have box office appeal!

Speaking of Batman Begins 3, what about Simon Pegg as the Riddler?

I think Ryan Reynolds is begining to get a bit too busy in order to be Jack anymore. He's Deadpool and The Green Lantern. The contracts that he signed for both of these probably has him commited to doing two trilogies if each preceeding movie makes enough to warrant a sequel.
In a Batman 3 aside- I'm hoping for Philip Seymour Hoffman as Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. Not someone with a fanatical attraction to peguins though. Just a mob boss who always dresses in a tux and therefore goes by The Penguin.
