    I'm disappointed that Christian Bale won't be coming back but I have to admit that I have a pretty big crush on Ben Affleck :P

    Haven't seen Dredd yet, but I love Karl Urban. YUM! I could maybe see him as Batman.

    My vote is for Dwayne Johnson. May as well, because he's always on at the cinema anyway, and he's kinda old and definitely big enough.

    I'm not mad at Christian Bale not doing it, because everytime a "Batman" movie/series is made, something tragic usually happens, and in Christian Bale's case it was Heath Ledger committing suicide which was like one of his best friends, but Ben Affleck? C'mon no!!! Plus he was already Daredevil that just doesn't work....blugh

    Hell yeah! Karl Urban should have been Batman. He can talk in a deep voice and still be understood. That's way better than the Christian Bale Batman. The Christian Bale Batman just grunts in incomprehensible tones: "RRGHHH, WHAIR IZ GROKER".

    Affleck is George Clooney all over again. With Bale they had re-energized the franchise, while it was over they left plenty of ways to build off of it, but instead they sold out and DC is going to regret this move. They had two cornerstones to build the justice league off of, but instead they are going to chase off their fan base, setting them back to the drawing board again.


    Totally!

    Why so many "haters" out there! It is not about Batman... is is all about Bruce Wayne and Ben Affleck will make a great Bruce Wayne. Come on guys Jack Nicholson, as the Joker, said it all when he said "its all about the toys... where does he get those toys"! I personally think Ben will make a great Bruce Wayne...

    itsjustdawn and gabriel80 make (or link to) good points.

    I mainly groan because I wish the next Superman movie wasn't going to drag Batman out of the recycling bin so fast. And I was hoping to see them make good use of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who I think has proven his ability to pull off a superhero.

    I'm also bummed because I would have liked to have seen Christian Bale and Henry Cavill together if they just HAD to do this. And I'm trying to imagine the chemistry between Cavill and Affleck.

    But I don't hate Affleck, for a lot of the reasons described. I thought he was excellent in Hollywoodland and Argo, and he's a hardworking SOB who loves comics and will do whatever it takes, just like Cavill. It takes a lot of good ingredients and careful proportions to make a movie work, but Snyder might just know what he's doing. (I pray constantly that he doesn't derail this franchise because he's got a perfect Superman and it would be a crying shame to screw that up).

    It won't come out till 2015 so it might be easier to see it with fresh eyes and not be placing expectations of CB on it.

    For the Bruce Wayne aspect of Batman I could see Matt Bomer playing the part well.
    It could be interesting to see him do some action type stuff, I think he could rise to the occasion.
