Blegh. I don't understand why they didn't go with Joseph Gordon Levitt. Nolan lobbed up an easy one for them and they whiffed big time.
This was my first thought, too.0 -
Really? Oh that is just wrong.0

No. No, no, no.0

I'm with the crowd of "Why not?" Yes, I saw Daredevil and honestly had no beef with it. All my comic book nerd friends LOVED it. Besides, he's been doing great work recently.0

Meh... I honestly don't mind this. It all falls on the director controlling the movie to get the best performance out of him. I think he has the ability to be a good Batman, lets hope that the script is something they can work with. Remember Superman Returns? Great cast, but the script was so bad they could not pull it off.0

^^^^ this... he would have made a great batman...
They already made him Robin in the last movie...they can't take that back now
Sure they could. They set him up to take over as Batman, and in the Comic cannon D!ck Grayson (the original Robin) actually took over as Batman for awhile while Bruce was traveling through time. So there is precedent for Robin as Batman.
edit: Apparently writing Mr. Grayson's actual name (****) is a no-no on the forums...0 -

Yup. Also - I don't understand the logic of Joseph Gordon Levitt as Batman. He's a bit small to play him... and while I think he's an amazing actor, I just can't see him being a convincing Batman or Bruce Wayne.0 -
I am not seeing Ben Affleck as Batman either, but hey maybe they see something I don't.
Someone said Heath Ledger as joker, that wasn't actually about Heath Ledger when people commented. He had some big shoes to fill. Jack Nicholson is a tough act to follow in any role. So he was had to really step up his game and he pulled it off. Sometimes it isn't about the actor in the role, but who played that role before?
But I don't really see him as Batman, unless it will be more Kitch. In my opinion he isn't very dark and that is my concern. George Clooney and Val Kilmir I could see that they had a dark side even though goofy. I don't see Ben as good at dark.0 -

Yep, can't play Batman AND Robin lol0 -
Yeah, totally miscast... a big error in WB;s part.
Maybe somebody owed him a favor. Oh well...0 -
While I am not going to say Ben Affleck is an amazing actor, I wouldn't blame him for DareDevil. His acting was okay in that movie, the problem was the script was HORRIBLE. The best actor in the world wasn't going to make that a good movie. Ben has had a talent for picking really horrible scripts to accept, which makes him seem like a B-list actor. I think the real issue with Ben as Batman is his size. Batman just always seems like a shorter power person, and Ben has a lot of work to get into the shape that would be necessary for a convincing Batman. If he is going up against Superman as the rumors say, it is going to take a lot for me to believe he isn't dead after the first round. Of course I would be down for the count after 1 round with Ben so what am I saying :happy:0

This...exactly this. I cannot see Ben Affleck being good at anything dark...0 -
If anyone has not seen Daredevil.....you probably should, not for the entertainment, but for seeing how Affleck does as a hero! Although he has matured as an actor (and person) since that role, he will have to fill what Christian Bale has done as Batman. He has some BIG shoes to fill, and I do not think he will accomplish the task!0

I still see Ben Affleck as Daredevil and it was a horrible movie, I know he wasn't to all to blame but come on. I cant imagine him playing batman. I am huge fan of Ben Affleck, I love him in the Town and Argo. But I just cant see him as Batman.
I actually *liked* "Daredevil."

As I am a big fan of the Justice League, I hope this movie does well if not better than the Avengers. The cast for the Avengers you can not beat though......I hope that the Justice League will be able to compete......and Affleck may or may not have been a smart move. Only time will tell.0

We were talking about this in my office today, too...my thing is that there's no background on the other members of the Justice League except for Green Lantern. And let's face it, aside from Ryan Reynolds 99% naked, that movie wasn't all that great (although I did think he made a decent Hal Jordan). The Wonder Woman movie that had been in the works got tanked. And knowing Hollywood, they'll probably cast someone like Jessica Biehl for her and that, IMO, is just as horrid as Affleck playing Batman...so, I'm not sure how they'd tackle a Justice League movie...0 -
You lost me....he's a great actor.
He's an OK actor that has been pretty good (Boiler Room, Paycheck, Argo) and really bad (DareDevil, Gigli, etc).
The man can direct... Acting he should just leave to his brother.
Barman is such a dark character that plays such a great contract to Superman, and I don't think he is capable of portraying that. It's kinda like Valmer. He was pretty and made a decent Bruce Wayne. But the second he became Barman he lost all cred.0 -
Only if Kevin Smith directs and Jason Mewes is robin...

Totaly agree on Val. He was the better of the Bruces from those movies, but didn't care for him as the Bat.0 -

*edit* For the record: I like Ben Affleck. These were on my FB today and I thought they were funny.

Unfortuantely Ryan Renolds is in talks with Marvel........Deadpool:) Should be good!As I am a big fan of the Justice League, I hope this movie does well if not better than the Avengers.

Wait... Why are they doing Batman again? I don't think you can top the last three (and especially last two).
Someone needs to make a good Wonder Woman. Let Ben Affleck try that out.0 -
The Dark Knight is Batman. Batman is no Dark Knight. Justice League without the Dark Knight will suck. Don't make the Justice League a cheap Avenger knockoff please.0
