Ben Affleck was a very left of field choice when DC and Warner Bros. cast him as Bruce Wayne and Batman in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Everyone, everywhere was wondering why you would ever choose Affleck for such an iconic role. Thoughts on him aside once the movie came out there were 2 things everyone was saying- 1) Wonder Woman was amazing! and 2) Ben Affleck is the best Batman.
Affleck brought a darker, more powerful and deadlier Batman to the screen and despite som peoples hatred of his character killing people everyone loved the costume and loved the way he carried the character. I for one am quiet sad that he has left the role but Ben did say he was in a lot of pain after Justice League and it was even hinted too that Batman is quite old in that movie.
With DC and Warner on the hunt for someone to fill the role I think it makes sense to cast someone a bit younger, this way they can explore the character and universe longer and use the character in more movies before the new actor is as worn and weathered as Ben Affleck is. I have a few ideas as to who would make a great replacement for Ben in the DCEU and I'd love to share them with you. Also be sure to tell me who you would love to see cast as Batman and why.
