Affleck is an actor that plays himself well, over-confident strongjaw. Batman has to have his flaws laid out in a live action, Bale did a good job of this, as did Keaton although not as much because of the styling of them films, can't see Ben Affleck pulling it off without him coming across as an unlikable OTT Batman like the one Clooney played.

Snyder made Elijah Wood look like a fucking badass in Sin City, I'm sure he can direct someone with a greater range to help define the role.

EDIT - Scratch that, Frank Miller directed that :oops:

Keaton had the bored playboy aspect down though, which suited Burton's vision.

They need to go back to some proper camp bad guys.

I know its awful when they get it wrong (Schwarzenegger, poison ivy) but I'd like to say Bale up against someone like Riddler

I wrote this in another thread before reading this promise.

Hes a massive talent that did some shit acting in shit films for too long. He got good as his carreer kinda dropped for a while.

Thank fuck he started directing, love every film hes directed. Good Will Hunting is so well written i'm surprised they haven't written anything else.
This is a quality scene;

almost as good as this one.

When Bale was picked to play a darker version of Batman, he'd already played a similar role in Equilibrium, Seeing that the closest thing Affleck has done was Daredevil I remain unconvinced.
There are currently various virgin groups forwarding petitions to have him unaffiliated with the franchise.

I'm more concerned it's being directed by Zach SNyder. His other films haven't exactly been classics...

For what it's worth and as some have already acknowledged, Ben Affleck has improved substantially as an entertainer. He's yet to direct a bad movie ( Argo was amazing), and seems to be picking better acting roles.

not overly fussed with this decision as ive never really been into the batman films (cartoons & comics are a different story)

should be interesting i guess, he's not the shittest actor and hes definitely grown since daredevil.
but im kind've hoping its as shite as the Clooney version, unintentional comidies are the best
