Woman Tweets 2008 Trivial Pursuit Question That Did Not Age Well--And People Can't Even

Updated 7 months ago

Writer S.E. Sinkhorn posted a pic to Twitter of an old Trivial Pursuit card from 2008. Less than ten years ago in time, perhaps a million years in feelings. There's so much we know now that we didn't know then, and most of it is bad.

It's perhaps understandable then, why Sinkhorn took the question, "Who has never been Batman?" pretty personally.

This version of Trivial Pursuit is from 2008 and I’ve never been madder at a question in my life. pic.twitter.com/FCQY1mClzH

In 2008, the makers of Trivial Pursuit thought we'd live in a world where Ben Affleck would never be Batman. Little did they know.

Everyone in the replies was upset that the game gave movie execs ideas, but they still had a few knocks to get out against other offending Batmans:

This obviously their fault. They gave some shmuck the idea and now Batman sucks.

People didn't hold their punches.

The correct answer is Ben Affleck as he should never have been cast as Batman after Daredevil bombed so badly.

Others laid off Ben Affleck and took their blows elsewhere...

"George Clooney."

"But George Cl-"

"There's never been a Batman movie with George Clooney."

"Yes, there was, it was Ba-"

"NEVER BEEN BATMAN, GEORGE CLOONEY."

Sure, predicts the future, blahblah, but the real question here is... Where is Michael Keaton?

Poor Ben Affleck.

it says "been" and not "played."
so the only answer is "everyone who is not Adam West"

It's acceptable to disavow Clooney over the bat nipples issue.

I think it's safe to say Clooney and Affleck were never batman...

I'll tell you who isn't Batman - billionaire wastrel playboy Bruce Wayne. I read it in a Daily Planet editorial by that nice Ms Lane.

How deep does this anti-Affleck conspiracy go? Is it just board games, or has it infiltrated TV too? DEAR GOD WHAT ABOUT JEOPARDY?

Oh great. Now you've done gone and made Tobey Maguire the next Batman. Thanks.

Also, someone pointed out this was a similar question in an edition of Cranium, though they don't specify the year this edition was printed. But if it preceded Affleck's casting as the dark knight, that's scary:
