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.

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
