No one accused Ledger of being complete shit before TDK, we all just said "the gay cowboy is going to be the Joker? WTF?" In this case, we all say "Ben Affleck was complete shit in this and that," and that he has the screen presence of a fly. The only roles Affleck has ever succeeded as are those of a douchebag from Boston (and then he's pretty much just playing himself). Unless Batman is going to come from Boston now, Affleck won't handle the role well. Even in his best movies, he wasn't that good, other actors covered for him (Jeremy Renner in The Town, Matt Damon in GWH, etc.). Where does the Ben Affleck is a douchebag come from? I hear this all the time.

I don't think Ben Affleck would be too bad as Batman.
As Bruce Wayne he'd suck though.

Health Ledger was in 10 things I hate about you and A Knights Tale. where he did exactly what he should do. it's some time i watched those but iirc those are some mindless teen flicks. I won't expect all too much from them, least a well thought out script. (and 10 things aren't that bad, but again time)

Ben Affleck has some really good movies in his back pocket and loves comics. I will take someone who loves the role over someone that we all "think" would make a good Batman. I refuse to have Spiderman 3 again, where everyone hated being there. i guess we could even find some movies of morgan freeman that suck. but since they are all actors, they should be able to fill a role regardless of their love of the comic or not. Maybe Ben Affleck isn't the best Batman, but he could be a decent Batman if the script is good.

The Clooney and Kilmer era of Batman movies comes to mind when I heard of this. I forecast a high chance of a Hollywood train wreck.

I hear this all the time. No idea. From reports he is a really nice guy that is down to earth. People just hate him for reasons beyond my understanding. Just like some women hate Kristin Dunst, for unknown reasons.

Wow Batman is dead. Thank god we still have the arkham games.

Not sure about Ben Affleck fitting the role of Batman (though I said the exact same thing about Heath Ledger as the Joker, and that turned out to be legendary), but I will say that he has become an extremely well respected film director. It definitely was a surprising choice, that's for sure.

I hope batman kills superman. I am bored of movies of a guy that is unbeatable and all movies are based around the idea "will he be fast enough to save us all?" and what if not? who cares he will still live and there is no "if not" because he is superman and can just time travel and gg...sry I am not a superman fan. Maybe Batman will help to make a Superman movie somehow enjoyable for me.

Did you actually watch any of those movies?
10 Things I Hate About You was pretty well received by critics, and when I saw it as a high school student, I enjoyed it. Likewise, I enjoyed Knight's Tale, I mean it wasn't a serious movie, but it wasn't crap.
I saw both of them on rental though, so my perception might have changed if I bought a ticket, but I knew what type of movie they were and they were well made for what they tried to be.
I'm not (nor ever have been) a young girl so I didn't see any of the Princess Diaries stuff, I saw Devil Wears Prada on cable one night, seemed like your average chick flick, so I won't try to judge it (brief look at wiki shows it got mixed reviews though).

I checked my calendar, it is not April 1, I checked it again, still not April 1, I checked my 2015 calendar and where I had scrawled over each summer month "Go see Superman/Batman movie" and now there was nothing. It had mysteriously cleansed itself! Because I am sure as hell not paying money to see Ben Affleck play Bruce Wayne / Batman. I keep imagining the "Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent for the first time" scene and I get this almost irresistible urge to start breaking things.
Ben Affleck. What the fudge.

Affleck is like a younger Clooney, and we all know how that worked out.
I am already disappointed.
//edit: @Roe he meant the Anti-Affleck as Batman petition is a dick move.

My original disappointment in that case was due to the fact that it was the wrong Knight's Tale actor cast. I had heard it was Paul Bettany, who I thought would have been perfect. Ledger proved me wrong and Bettany got to be Jarvis in Iron Man I guess.
