With as much business as Man of Steel did (and hell I personally loved it; best Superman film ever, and I loved the Reeve flicks), and with how acclaimed Affleck has become via Argo etc; there's NO chance this flick doesn't make serious money.
There might indeed be problems with the film, and people may not like it, but it making money hand over fist won't be one of 'em.

I got no problem with Affleck as Batman. I'm happy for him.

This news is fresh to me. I came home from work and crashed and I didn't wake up until 10:40. My initial response was hell the f*** naw, but i'd rather be mad and then pleasantly surprised over just be optimistic just for the sake of being optimistic.

One of the quotes on Twitter ...except Batman Forever didn't kill the franchise... Batman Forever made a ton of money for one... and for two Batman Forever was Awesome Not to mention remember how that "gay cowboy actor" was going to ruin the Joker/Batman Franchise? ...yeah.

Just said it on Facebook, but Affleck is a really good actor who's done a ton of really great movies including one he just won an Oscar for.
People also whined endlessly when Ledger was cast as the Joker.
Internet nerd rage jumped the shark years ago.

My interest in this film went from almost none to actually considering watching it opening weekend now. I support this casting decision.

You know what they should do. Keep the joyless grey Superman from Man of Steel... and have Affleck play campy Adam West Era Batman... to make sure they piss off as many people as possible

Just as long as it doesn't wind up like Daredevil I will give it a shot If it ends up like Daredevil Director's cut I will be thrilled since that is one of the best superhero films made.

CM Punk CM PunkImagine if/when he cocks it all up, he'll be responsible for the two worst depictions of two separate superheroes.

Me neither. Affleck is VERY good in specific circumstances. Like when he's directing or doing comedy, but everything else.....well this seems like a "gotta get a big name" move so as far as that goes it could have been a lot worse.

I want to know why people say Affleck is a bad actor.
You all saw Christian Bale right?
