    What a horrible choice. Does Hollywood not remember the last time Afleck tried to play a superhero?

    Totally agree Hook. I can't imagine taking Ben Affleck seriously as Batman. Bad call IMO.

    Afleck has come around as a director, but he still is not a good actor, IMO.

    And I know we all freaked out when Ledger was announced as the Joker, and that worked out perfectly, but that was with Nolan directing.

    I don't have faith in Snyder like I do Nolan.

    What a shame. I was genuinely excited about the Superman vs Batman movie. Oh well.

    For the first time ever, I'll be pulling for Superman to win. Horrible, horrible choice

    He isn't going to be part of the Batman series, He will be playing batman in the Superman Series. I much rather him only be able to be in Kevin Smith Films

    I wouldn't mind Affleck directing the Justice League movie but I don't think I can take him as Batman. Affleck is a much better director than actor.

    Ben Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

    My personal belief is that he should reprise his role as Shannon Hamilton, the proprietor of Fashionable Male. One of his best performances.

    America must be in the mood for super heros. Seems like a lot of these movies lately.

    I think all the Batman movies suck anyway. I know, I know, I'm like the only person in the world to think that but I hate superhero movies. I couldn't understand a damn thing Christian Bale said because he was speaking an octave so low not even sonar could pick it up. The bad guys are always good and the rest sucks.

    And they are annoying as hell.

    I watched The Dark Knight just because of its cultural significance. And I was cheering for the joker to kill everyone Lol
