I'm really not intending to be transphobic when I say that Ben Affleck comes pretty close.

Disappointing....

[Biff Pocoroba]

I haven't been particularly excited about Batman in a Superman movie. The Affleck casting doesn't change that.
Breckin Meyer as the Joker? Haven't heard that. But whoever gets the role has some huge shoes to step in to. I know we all thought that with Ledger following Nicholson but at least 19 year gap between their movies.

[epilogue]

Obviously, I've never met the guy. But from what I've seen in interviews/stories and from whatever public persona he lets out, Ben Affleck seems like a nice enough guy. I know some people who partied with him back in the day (before he got married) and they said he was a giant, coked out, womanizing, arrogant asshole. Maybe he's let go of some of that? Maybe not. During the Oscar push there seemed to be a lot of humility and regret coming from him. So something happened.

Anyway, I'm fine with what I know about him as a dude, he seems like a good father, and he's proven to be a very good director. And if he really co-wrote GWH and didn't con his buddy into throwing his name on for him, he can write well enough, too.

I'll defend Ben Affleck to a degree. But he's not a good actor. And I see him struggling with this, big time. Like he did Daredevil. Just like Clooney did in that Bat-thing he killed. I'm seeing a lot of worse case scenarios with this casting. Rolled up with all of them is that I'm still not sold on Batman v Superman as a good follow up to MoS, or a good idea in general really.

Maybe if they were casting Affleck as the new Batman in a stand alone first? I don't know. Hopefully, he proves me wrong. But I'm not optimistic.

[Jefrey with One F]

Affleck as Batman? Well, he is comfortable living in the shadows... Specifically, Matt Damon's

[Harry Lime]

This is all just very funny to me.

[epilogue]

They love them some Ben-Ben. Wasn't he one of the directors WB courted hardcore to get to direct MoS? Am I making that up?
