Wow okay could everyone just shut up about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman for the next Man of Steel? Stop getting your panties in a bunch, oh my GOSH. I'm actually kinda excited about it! The guy's obviously a good actor, I mean he did just win an Oscar. I'm not gonna let his flop movies effect me since he's been trying to get back in the public's grace for years, and he's been doing a good job!
Not everyone will ever be happy with a casting in a superhero movie. This is just a sad fact. There's too many expectations and SO MANY YEARS of lore behind the characters to really meet every fan's wishes.
But could we all just chill out? We haven't even seen what he looks like under the cowl! We haven't see any previews! I trust Zach Snyder to not screw up my favorite superhero. Zach Snyder did a fabulous job with Man of Steel, and I'm gonna trust him to do it again in the sequel.
Personally, I haven't gotten the Batman I want. Christian Bale did a good job, but so did Michael Keaton. (Best Batman is still Kevin Conroy imo) But I always feel the actors are seriously just Bruce Wayne: they're good dudes who dress up like Batman. They never.... FEEL like Batman to me? It never quite clicks. So I'm excited for a new guy to take a crack at it. Who knows, maybe Affleck is the actor who will be PERFECT for the role! Give him a chance before you petition Warner Bros to kick him from the casting oh my freaking gosh did you guys SERIOUSLY DO THAT.
TLDR: I'm remaining positive until I have a reason to be negative. My judging will come when I see the previews. It's all about what Ben Affleck's face looks like under the cowl.
