So now Ben Affleck's a director of academy award winning films and is going to play Batman.
Its like the last ten years of his life have been one unintentional giant middle finger to Kevin Smith.

I like Affleck as a director, but the thought of him playing Batman is not one I enjoy. My interest in this movie somehow just sank even lower.

Wow. Warner Brothers really has no clue how to make money with their properties. This is FAIL.

I just imagined Ben Affleck trying to be intimidating. Then I imagined him trying to do a 'Batman voice'. Ugh.

Sweet! Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo! Also, does this mean Batman will tell Superman, "Argo f*** yourself!"? Please let that happen! For that to work they also need to cast Alan Arkin as Commissioner Gordon and John Goodman as Det. Bullock (Or whomever is Gordon's right hand man in this day and age.) |

Kevin Smith has probably already phoned him like 8 times today and is trying to get him to talk to Kevin Conroy

Interesting choice. One I'm glad we are getting a seasoned veteran batman with no origins story for once. I would of preferred John Hamm or Josh Brolin since they can probably do the emotional stuff better then Affleck but hey we are getting a extremely charismatic Bruce Wayne!
I'm just so f***ing glad it wasn't Ryan Gosling. f*** Ryan Gosling and his overrated ass.

Affleck is good but I'm having trouble imagining him as Batman. Guess I'll wait till the movies actually come out before I judge him. See, I think he can be a good Bruce Wayne. But Batman seems odd. Exactly my thoughts. As Bruce Wayne he's actually one of the better choices that I can think of, but he doesn't exactly have the appearance or style to be an early pick for the role. But to his credit, he can act pretty well, so I'm quite open to seeing what he can do. |

Holy guacamoles, wasn't expecting that one! I haven't seen enough of his acting to judge, so can't really comment there. Maybe Matt Damon can be Robin!

Fine with me. I liked Daredevil just fine, and as others said, whatever the problems the movie had were not because of him. I just hope this movie either does better and irons out the problems Man of Steel had, or if it bombs that maybe this could finally cause a meaningful shake-up at Warner Bros., because regardless the top brass in that company need a wake-up call BAD.
