Except it doesn't. You can ***** all you want, but Ben has never been more respected in Hollywood. He just came off a best picture win and is 3 for 3 in his last 3 films he directed. He's become a good actor and is not even close to his Daredevil days, even though that movie sucks for it's script and not him.
I'm sure he is a respected actor and director, but it's not like you just choose anyone who can act to play Batman.
And btw I'm actually one of the very few who liked Daredevil. But fact is we saw how he plays that kind of hero, and even if he surprises us 10 years later and does an OK job with Batman, that just won't be good enough for such an Iconic hero Imo.
And if I'm B****ing it's only because I care 😉

The same thing was said about Michael Keaton as Batman, Bale as Batman, Heath as Joker, and Ann Hathaway as Catwoman, yet all of those were good to great. Just wait and see before you judge. The trailer isn't even out yet.
For all the baggage Affleck has, he is a solid actor. Certainly better than a Cavill or Hemsworth, or Ryan Reynolds.

Jeez I really wish I WB did offer Bale $50mill now.Every single one of the rumored casting choices were better than this!
the new regime wanted to keep Affleck there, that is why he got the role..
right now nothing, i mean nothing will make me like this

I've always said if WB wanted a middle aged Batman, Bale was the best choice. He's already middle aged, people are familiar with him, and it would be stupid to recast the role for a similarly aged person when they should reboot with a man in his prime.🙁
I have always said that if they were too tweak Nolanverse some than Bale would have worked

That's true, but it's not his acting abilities people are complaining about. It's about fitting the role. Caville and Hemsworth fit their hero role. RDJ was ideal for his hero role. This just seems like a completely wrong fit.

On another note another reason I'm happy with this, is because of the possibility of him directing a DC movie. Maybe Batman? Maybe JLA? Or maybe nothing.
That I don't mind. And being a fan is one thing he might bring here.

TBH, I never thought of Ben as Batman. Not in a million years, but he has that charm/charisma to him that Bruce has. Of all the rumored choices (Bentley, Hobbit guy, Brolin, Urban, etc...) I think this is the best choice. I look at Ben in a suit and I can see Bruce Wayne, but that's just me.

I personally would have preferred most the rumored choices. Oh well, let's just hope now that he will surprise us as Batman and that this wasn't just about casting someone famous.

Plus, he's a MASSIVE guy. 6 foor 3. He was RIPPED in The Town and will have no problem bulking up for the role.
Ok, I'll have to check out The Town now.

If they did that, I would be a little disappointed (Bale is older and his Batman wasn't Batman), but it would be undeniably epic. Batman would have a back story we saw in three films and Superman would have his. The shared universe would be done and the only thing they would need to do is add more characters.
Affleck's Batman is around the same age and he has a back story we're to assume is seasoned, but we never saw it. 😕 I also don't know if Affleck can pull off a decent fighting scene anymore. I don't want another brawling Batman.

i really do not feel that Affleck can pull it off,, if he does it would be due to the stuntmen

There's an article there about why they chose Affleck. Saying they were really impressed when they had talks with him about JL on the big screen, saying he truly gets it.That's all great to keep him on board as a consultant, writer or director. But I'm confused why that would make him the perfect Batman??
