Affleck'll crush it. He's got the chops, he's got the chin -- just needs the material. Affleck & Cavill toe to toe -- I'm in.

So are you for or against Ben Affleck as Batman? Sound off below!
Keep in mind that this is the same guy, that put his faith into Mark Ruffalo to play the green goliath, and look how that turned out! Don't forget all the fanboys whining about Heath Ledger being cast as the Joker.
