I liked DD Directors Cut. The changes were pretty different.

He didn't look like a teenager in the town. Gray his hair up, 5 o'clock shadow, BAM.

Good Will Hunting II: Hunting Season was pretty badass

Not bad.
Kinda wish (hope, considering it's Snyder) that the mask will have white lenses on it.
Batman's eyes should be angry triangles.

This as well. For some reason I was thinking of Ben Stiller, too.

Exactly like this. This will work.

I'm ok with this!
Affleck is an excellent actor. He may not be the most obvious choice, but I could see him doing well in the role.
It's hard to judge at this point. I don't hate Ben Affleck just because "lol Affleck" -- in fact, I thought The Town was one of the better movies I've seen in the last few years. My main problem with him as Batman would be that he has soft, slightly feminine facial features (no cheek bones, no jaw line, etc.):
He looks a lot like me, actually, and I've never felt that I was very masculine. That said, he may totally nail the role and it could be a great flick.

That should be your main concern, god tier actors don't mean crap, if people managing them lack the ability to make use of their acting skills.

He had lenses in Forever, but they weren't white.
They were so close to having a fan moment!
Probably won't matter as much if this Bruce Wayne is supposed to be an older hardass.

Say what you will about Snyder's talents as a director - he's probably the best bet to get a Batsuit that will look legitimately good onscreen. Not a giant rubber tank like Keaton wore, not the smattering of plastic chunks that was Bale's suit.

Whelp, my complaints just went away. His chin works and he actually is a good actor. This could work.

I find it a questionable choice, just due to he is such a familiar actor. I'll also admit I've never seen Argo and need to watch The Town in its entirety to judge, though he is at least serviceable (if not the potential to dominate) to the role of Bruce Wayne. Batman will just be a wait and see sort of thing. Snyder isn't the worst of bringing out the performance in actors, and I believe Cavill and Shannon demonstrated that. Watchmen and Dawn of the Dead also had some great performances for the material given.
I also think it's absolutely BS with people judging on Daredevil. Outside of Michael Clark Duncan, he was probably the next best thing in that film. Horrible choreography, cinematography, direction, and writing...there was so much wrong with that film that blaming Affleck is about the laziest critiques I've seen.
There's also a lot of extreme assumptions on the plot of this. We know that Bats and Supes will be against each other at some point of the film, but that doesn't mean it's going to be played out for the entire film in the same fashion as the brawl scenes in Man of Steel.

This is fine. The problem is when he starts talking and being all Ben Affleck-y.

I really didn't care much for Bales Wayne. Maybe cause I was spoiled by Keaton.

Opinion: How Ben Affleck can be a good Batman, and what the 'Man of Steel' sequel needs to do to be great
Good article, worth a read.
Oh, no comparison when it comes to Keaton. He was the only one that was able to relay the brooding and anguished side of Wayne. Bale just played a good suave douchebag playboy.

Bale was a good Bats, he just had writers who didn't capitalize on certain attributes that make Batman Batman ie. his detective skills. Other than that, I feel he did much better than any of his predecessors including Keaton.

JESUS CHRIST ....People ,if you are easily fooled ,by a Great Photoshop editing.
You might deserve a ASS movie in the making.
My OWN Personal opinion about Ben Affleck is that his real life demeanor is to silly and loose for this role.
He's not dark enough for the character role.
His voice and intimidation attitude have to be on point ,some thing Ben doesn't have on his Best acting days.
We have to be more Concerned about the Character , cause if I was the Creator and DC I'll be shit mad about some of the content that got pushed out in the past years.
Plain and Simple we have to get this right!!!

I think he has the look (I'm not sure too many people are questioning his looks). I want to know what happens when he opens his mouth.

There's no "we" in this. Your solitary role in this transaction is to either watch it or not. That's the entirety of your involvement.
"No. No, no no no. Fuck you, you don't owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me. Cuz tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50, and I'll still be doin' this shit. And thas all right. Thas fine. I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket. And you're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bullshit. 'Cause I'd do fuckin' anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin' guys. It'd be an insult to us if you're still here in 20 years. Hangin' around here is a fuckin' waste of your time, Clahk."
Sweaahhh to me!
