Affleck is a really poor choice for Batman, but the discussion on Reddit on the subject is hilarious.

I actually love the choice. He's not the same actor that everyone loved to make fun of 10 years ago. And if this means he'll be director of the next solo Batman film then that's even better.
Give him a chance. Everyone said the same stuff about Heath Ledger as the Joker and Keaton as Batman. And those two turned out well in their respective roles.
The last time Affleck starred as a superhero the result was the worst superhero movie in history.

Are we pretending that Batman & Robin doesn't exist?

Following up Christian Bale's performance with Ben Affleck? Horrible choice. Just horrible.
Might as well cast Jennifer Lopez as Catwoman.
Watch the directors cut of Daredevil. It's actually a really solid movie then.

As for the choice, my first reaction was "what the F" - - however, after mulling a little I am OK with this. Affleck can act and Batman is supposed to be older, grittier than Supes so I think this can work.

Someone created a White House petition to get Affleck removed. 2500+ people signed it before it was removed.
Also stole this from reddit.

X-Men 3 sucked, but I think Daredevil was worse.
I cannot argue your point about Catwoman though. Touche.
All of you are wrong about the worst super hero movie.

When all is said and done more is said than done.
Did you all miss XMen Origins: Wolverine, or The Green Lantern? Those were also terrible. Superhero movies are all over the map. Tangotiger, put on Twitter that he would have liked to have seen Michael Keaton cast as an older Batman/Bruce Wayne. That could have been neat.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
No superhero has anything on Ralph Hinkley
