People should actually watch Hollywoodland, which is more about Superman actor George Reeves than it is about Superman. Really great film.

Oh man. I'll definitely have to give his next shows a listen. :lol
As always, I'm heading in with an open mind. This casting is worth it though just to see the internet's reaction, it's hilarious reading. I'm actually confident he'll be able to pull it off pretty well though.
As someone said on IGN, I'm more concerned about Goyer writing more plot holes than Affleck.

They want to do a batman in his 40's. Affleck is in his 40's.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Oh I agree with you on that and know. It's just he looks stupid in that pic since I'm picturing him as Batman with that smirk.
WHO Doctor Peter Capaldi all over again.

Just confuse everyone.
Say what you want, but he was good as Cobra Commander in GI Joe the first one.

You know what, this could be good. Affleck is capable of being a good actor. A lot lies in how the character will be written and directed, but I think Affleck can pull it off.
After seeing Ledger as Joker, Hathaway as Catwoman, and Hardy as Bane, I'm not gonna make up my mind until I watch the movie. Man of Steel was excellently cast (some had gripes with the writing and direction, but I think all the actors were fantastic and well-chosen in the flick), so I think Affleck can pull it off.
I think he can pull off Bruce Wayne pretty well.
Just bring Jonah Nolan back to tighten up Goyer's script and write better lines. Man of Steel had almost zero quotable lines which was SO GODDAMN DISAPPOINTING. We need memorable lines, man. I still quote the TDK movies to this day.
BRING BACK JONAH.

Ben Affleck had a bad couple of years, but these are not the bad Ben Affleck years.

He would honestly be great.

I can't see him pulling this off as well as Bale.
By never being offered it in the first place

The only problem I had with MoS was that the 2nd half of the movie was too frenetic, I had a hard time following what was going on. I know a lot of folks will probably disagree with me on this, but I'm really hoping with the inclusion of a seasoned actor the next flick tones it down a bit.

he is tiny compared to cavill and ESPECIALLY compared to affleck

Maybe not... but this is an older Wayne, perhaps we're getting Bruce Wayne the Philanthropist, and not Bruce Wayne, the Partyboy?
In fact, since he is older, we're not getting rookie Wayne, but a darker, cynical Batman along with Bruce Wayne as Philanthropist trying to stop the city of Gotham from bleeding itself to death.
Drama!

The meltdown on my facebook is hilarious. People are getting emotional over this casting and I dunno why.
It's like with the Ninja Turtles movie. If it sucks, and if the new Superman/Batman movie sucks, it doesn't take away all the good stuff that you love.
Everything's gonna be all right y'all.

True, I doubt he needs to go around building the playboy Bruce persona at that age.

Thank you SO MUCH, WB. I'm so happy now that as long as Ben Affleck is Batman in Snyder's Batman and Superman, I no longer have to worry about good casting choices going to waste.
As an added bonus, I don't have to see this now because of Batman, as Batman will be nowhere to be seen.

This isn't a Batman movie though.... arghhh WB! He could be a shitty Batman stuck in what was supposed to be a real sequel to MOS. Supes fucked over some more.
I'm still taking a wait and see approach regarding Affleck.
Two words.
Chinple.
Wait thats one word...
He's a Ballchinian from the planet Butt Chin.
...
Butt Chin... two words... there you go.
The Crimson Chin would be proud.
=D
Okay in all seriousness, he's not a bad choice.

In better news, Hanz Zimmer may get a chance to make a better Batman theme

Only thing that comes out of Snyder's mouth is "awesome". Script would be even more paper thin.

Well... it's Superman vs. Batman, not Man of Steel 2. You could console yourself with that.
