Ben Affleck being cast as Batman split opinions, but the majority of fans have now come around to the idea of him taking over from Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader. However, one person who isn't convinced that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will top The Dark Knight Trilogy is London Has Fallen star Morgan Freeman. "You know, I'm happy for Ben [Affleck], but I don't know how that's gonna work," he reveals in the video above. "Because the 'Dark Knight' was almost 'it.' Pretty much 'it.' Did you see 'Batman Begins?' I don't think you can beat that."

How does Christian Bale feel about his former co-star's comments? "Everyone brings their own element to that -- Ben [Affleck] will do that as well," the actor added before weighing in with his thoughts on how the movie is shaping up so far. "I think the trailers are looking great and I'm looking forward to that. But right on for Morgan [Freeman] for saying no one will ever be that, I very much like him." What do you guys make of these comments? As always, let us know your thoughts below.

The Dark Knight Rises was shit.

@dannramm113 - The dark knight rises was weak. Even fanatics can attest to it. Hell, Dark Knight had issues as well, but overall was fantastic. Rises on the other hand was weak, progressed weak, and ended worse.

I expect BvS to surpass Rises and hopefully do well. It sucks they did not do a true MOS2 first and try to focus on pushing Superman back to where he needs to be. I like batman, but Supes > all.
