MrSudaymovies is hilarious and has some good points here. I for one don’t think he will do any worst than Clooney or any better than Bale. let see what happens. As stated in the video Affleck isn’t a Daniel Day Lewis type that can disappear into his roles so I hope I don’t see Affleck and not Wayne the entire time.

well,
let me tell you one thing:
remember when Heath Ledger was cast as the joker first ??

the whole world complaint-cry-bítch-made fun-ridiculed-got angry and bla, blah, blah, blah about that decision and years later, Heath gave a very Iconic performance in film history, so you might not like THIS decision right now,
but wait first to see the product and Then, only then, You judge,
Ben has proved that he can direct, he did 2 very good movies, and as a director you should be able to spot good acting, so cut him some slack and then make your judgement.
those who judge without knowing, are in their way to be and idiot !

peace.

Equivocal-
Heath had better performances prior to casting than Affleck did prior to his. I thought Heath was a random choice cause of his "heart throb" stereotype..never doubted his acting ability. There's a ton of doubt with Ben.

I don't hate Ben, he's a solid director and writer, but I personally don't see him as Bruce or Batman. We'll all see what happens once there's a script and they actually start filming.

Well said @Equivocal

I don't understand why everyone is freaking out.. I hope if so happens his performance as The Caped Crusader is absolutely dreadful... God comes down from the heavens and says:

"You know what Humans, I gave you a chance.. Figured, why not? Let's see what happens. And you [fricked] it up royally by letting this happen!! Oh no, the world ends TODAY"

Seriously though people.. I want a more interesting news story.

Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it already! Moving On!

That was honestly the worst Hitler reacts I’ve seen so far. The key to those is matching the pacing of what he’s saying to the intensity in which he says it and they missed the mark miserably. I was annoyed having to stop the thing just to read what he was saying and he wasn’t even funny.

I'm far less concerned about Ben Affleck playing Batman than I am at Zack Snyder directing Ben Affleck playing Batman. Probably from a script from the apparent inventor of the plot hole, David Goyer.

He'll be just fine as Bruce Wayne / Batman. I can't wait to see the new suit, I hope it's inspired in the new arkham origins batsuit. Give the guy a chance.

@Fry, agreed. Mr Sunday makes perfect sense.

@SnapperCarr

They offered him but he couldn't due to scheduling problems.

I think Ben Affleck will be wicked dophe as Batman.

He looks like Bruce Wayne and could pull off the persona believable, but people are having a harder time seeing him pull off the Batman persona.

After Daredevil and all this backlash, he will be motivated to prove a lot of people wrong. And as far the martial arts goes, that's why WB is hiring Scott Adkins as his stunt double.

@feedonatreefrog Awesome banner!

the only reason people were complaining about Ledger was that he played a pole smoker in that one movie

the real issue i got with this movie is they letting DAvid Goyer writting the whole script. WB needs to get Jonah Nolan or someone else to write the script

@mgeoff88 where did you hear Scott Adkins will be the stunt double? Awesome if true.
