Ideally, they could remember that a shitty 10 year old superhero movie is not the be all, end all. Perhaps they could look at the good films he's been a part of. Pattern recognition, and all.

Ben Affleck isn't even the best actor with the last name Affleck
seems like a wonderfully nice guy and a good director, but I do not like this, Sam I Am. |

I even like Daredevil(for some reason) and hate the idea of Ben Affleck playing Batman
Colin Farrell would be better |

Lot of available pattern recognition off of that singular superhero film he did. |

Joe Manganiello would've been so much better and taller and more handsome
and with a huge dick probably...I've said too much |

I read that they wanted an "older" actor to play Batman and that the front runner was Josh Brolin. That would've been awesome.

Who would be better to play older Batman than Michael Keaton? Missed opportunity.

Hey remember when EVERYONE got upset because Heath Ledger was cast to play The Joker, because there's no way he'd never be as good as Nicholson?

If they wanted A) an older Batman with B) name recognition, why not Bruce Willis?
Oh, and by the way, don't forget it could always have been worse. We could have gotten Matt Damon: |

Love it DC! Finally doing any kind of crossover movie, and it doesn't even get the actors who established themselves as the characters.
Personally, I love Affleck, but if they really wanted a crossover/team-up appeal, it should be Christian Bale. |

did people really get that upset? and it's different because Heath Ledger was a good actor. who wasn't in Pearl Harbor.

The way I see it is, it isn't Adam Sandler. So it won't be a comedy movie and thus I will remain optimistic.

Looking at Ben Affleck's imdb page did not help any of my negative feelings toward this casting.

It did however make me want them to cast Jon Hamm. So now I'm double mad.

Hope he plays him in the style of Adam West. Could put him right at the top of the list of Batmen.

I've read sooooo many comments saying Kevin Conroy should be Batman
probably would be better than Ben Affleck, but still |

Kevin Conroy plays a cheesy Batman that didn't work in the Arkham games. It is clearly a voice acting performance that would look stupid coming from an actual human, and he looks like Rolf Harris.

It does stand to reason that stepping outside the element for which he's known and accomplished in order to do a movie in a genre both out of his comfort zone and in which he's done poorly once before might be at issue. Now. Do I need to get Fangerl to spoon you and whisper in your ear how awesome Ben Affleck is to soothe the bruised feelings, or....? |

Kevin Conroy is Batman. No, really. That's what's so awesome. He seems unassuming until he puts on the tights and starts jumping around the city with a grappling hook. |

I was one of the 4 people that liked the Daredevil movie, so I have good feelings about this.

Leaning towards meh on Affleck as Batman. He probably won't be bad in the role but some of the other names rumored or speculated would have been a better choice.

The ineffectiveness of the Heath Ledger/Micheal Keaton examples make me wanna avoid any debates on sight. How many times did something teach us to Wait & See and how many times to people still spazz out on the internet.

If either of those had previously failed in a comparable movie, this would be a valid argument. But, unless I'm remembering incorrectly and "Mr. Mom" was actually about a man who was bitten by a radioactive mother and became the masked vigilante Mr. Mom, it's not.

You're gonna sit here and say A Knight's Tale was quality? And Keaton's backlog was before my interest in him but I'm certain everything he did was not a hit.
