Nice driveby. Couple months late.
He's not a good actor but it doesn't take someone especially talented to play Batman. And his name is a hot ticket now due to his recent string of successes. He's a bit of a box office draw in comparison to the people that say, Marvel casts in their movies.

He's also among the most highly regarded people in the business right now. Very successful actor, writer, and director who brings tons of cred to this franchise. People love him. His presence alone will help commercially and critically, no doubt.
shriek! do people still believe this....

I don't know the story you're alluding to, but the credit is there. That's all that matters.
Ben is instant credibility right now.

He's a very average actor, doesn't have charisma, appeal or a "cool factor".

Says you?
He has tons of appeal. He's been a pretty large actor for the last three or so years and his writing and directing skills have been highly praised for like half a decade now. He's a box office draw and a critics darling. He's a sound choice.
Why? He's a talented actor and a great director. I'd love for him to direct the next solo Batman film.
That's fair.

You don't have to be a great actor to play Batman. Bruce Wayne will come naturally to him, he's good for that. Charisma, appeal, cool factor, it's "Batman" itself that gives you all that. That and the director's take on the character, which cool factor happens to be Snyder's specialty.He's a very average actor, doesn't have charisma, appeal or a "cool factor".

This. 100X this.
Batman isn't a guy who's going to get by with his acting/charm... he's going to need amazing lines, dialogue and a great script to work with.
One of the problems I can see for the film is Snyder trademark abuse of a cinematic gimmick. In Watchmen it was slo-mo, and MoS it was that zoom-in crap. Hopefully there's none of that in BvS.
And Snyder is gonna make the best live-action Batman ever.

I'm sure if you put Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, or Bale in that suit and put him in that picture they'd probably look cool too. So I don't know what you're getting from this.

He said Affleck isnt cool.
I showed a picture where Affleck is cool.
Dont see what's not to get from that.
Affleck is all buff like a gorilla. Those other dudes would look tiny in that suit which would lower their cool factor.
my point was the coolness of that picture has absolutely nothing to do with affleck.
I know a bit late, but this is also one of the reasons I loved Superman vs The Elite. It acknowledged he was a boy scout.
Manchester Black's speech during the end battle was amazing, as well.

See, now I want a revamped Timmiverse JLU cartoon
Why Dwayne McDuffies version was the good one.
I guess when I said "Timmiverse" I was referring to the DCAU in general which was birthed by Bruce Timm, not specifically the episodes he was in charge of.

Nah, we're in the "talk about random DC stuff" phase, which should be a part of the cycle if it isn't already.
I'm waiting for the Henry Cavill is balding phase to come up

This film is so crowded. Like, why not just call it justice league?
Plus Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg should all have their own individual origin stories before even attempting justice league.
Because as everyone knows, there is only one way to make a superhero connected universe.

I think that about covers the cycle, do we go right back around to Batfleck now?
I think Gal Gadot being too skinny is next.

Why couldn't they cast a WW that looks like this?

I swear the negative discussions about this movie are like a Mobius strip.
It's not even like people's concerns are unfounded. It's just after two years of having the same damn discussions, you have to wonder when people are just gonna accept they don't want what WB is selling and move on.
