Michael Keaton as Batman was the ultimate in lowering of expectations. As kids we all thought "this is gonna suck" but when he wasn't bad in the role, we all thought (because of lowered expectations) "wow, this guy was spectacular as Batman."

I'm actually shocked that Hollywood didn't completely screw the pooch on Captain America by hiring David Gordon Green to direct a $100 million meta-comedy-spoof-actioner starring DJ Qualls as Steve Rogers, a teenage 98-lb. weakling in 1945 Omaha, NB injected with Super Soldier Serum and transforms into the pinnacle of human physical and mental perfection of "Captain America" (played by Chris Tucker). Captain America briefly confronts Nazi bad guy Red Skull before taking on the much bigger problem of inherent American racism, blows the lid off the Tuskeegee Airman scandal, is secretly hired by evil J. Edgar Hoover (who's actually the Red Skull) to be dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and falls in love with a beautiful African-American schoolteacher (Gabrielle Union or Kerry Washington) who then becomes Harry Truman's most trusted advisor.

Did I miss anything?

I would've said Channing Tatum had he not already screwed himself with G.I. Joe.

The downside of having Crowder as Captain America is the fact that when they have to get all of the "Avengers" together in one movie, he'd tower over the rest of the actors... every scene would require Robert Downey, Jr., Edward Norton, et. al to stand on milk crates next to him.

I guarantee that if you met Crowder in real life you wouldn't say that... He's 6'4" which Butler, Rockwell, etc. can never attain, looks like the comic book character of Steve Rogers, and is a relative unknown that would not take away from seeing Captain America as [insert name of famous actor here].

Hey, you can always give Crowder a buzz cut.

Now, if they can just avoid casting a meterosexual.

Knowing how Hollywood works, they'll probably cast Sam Rockwell or Gerard Butler when they should cast Steven Crowder.

What actor alive can be more slimy as a bad guy character than Billy Zane?

None. None more slimy.

"You people?" What's that supposed to mean? Are you implying something about the content of my character just because because I'm an African-American?

You're obviously a ra-a-a-acist! Shameful!

Thanks, but I'd rather see it in one of Leigh's movies...

Considering your ignorance about the history of computer technology (Apple Computer, DEC, and Microsoft all had wealthy venture capitalist backing of some form in their early years) and your inability to understand the difference between salary and standard of living, I'm not worried about what a shallow anti-intellectual like you thinks.

Your comment made about as much sense as the plot of Star Wars-The Phantom Menace

Your own "marginal tax rate" strawman intentionally ignores the facts that:
1) All local, state, and federal taxes levied against the middle class during the period of 1950-1960 was a tiny fraction of what every middle class American pays now (even though neither Truman nor Ike cut spending on social programs)
2) Taxable wages were not ridiculously high for the majority of manufacturing "blue collar" workers because labor unions' powers were temporarily constrained by Taft-Hartley and the public impression that most unions had communist ties (later confirmed by the Venona Papers) or were run by organized crime (can't imagine where that idea came from)

Giving e-e-e-e-evil rich people a tax cut allowed the innovations leading to the low-cost computer in your house, an iPhone in your hand, and access to the Internet everywhere. That seems fair.
