    He's about to prove you all wrong just like Ledger did. I just wish he was directing too. Either way it's good to see an American comic book nerd as Batman. It's like the antithesis of Bale. I could buy Affleck as the James Bond style Batman from the comics.

    Comic book nerds ain't gon be happy about this one

    Why should a ? be upset, he's a dope award winning actor who brings likd Broddie says brings a much needed frame of reference to the character. Also, early in bis career Affleck did those Kevin Smith movies which always fanboy inside jokes in. I just them. I just Affleck doesn't have a wacky Batman voice and he wears suit that's closer to the traditional or Arkham suit and he has a ulitity belt that's looks as if it serves as practical purpose as opposed to looking likd it's just there for decoration.

    Yeah that's another thing. One of his best friends in the movie business is also one of the biggest Batman nerds on the net. The Fatman on Batman podcast voice. This guy grew up reading comic books something West, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney and Bale didn't really do. I don't know call me crazy but I have faith. Daredevil was bad because of the writer/director.

    If they announced Jon Hamm as Lex Luthor (he's worked with both Snyder and Affleck) this movie will be good money. This is the type of casting they needed to do in order for this Batman to stand out on his own coming so soon after TDKT.

    Cosign and Nosign, he will bring more depth and personality to Batman, I can honestly see him fitting the role but hell na, he shouldn't be directing it. I think him and Zack will work perfectly, as DC nerd, I'm content.

    I like Snyder unlike most people (thought MOS was just ok at best though) but Affleck is a way better director than him. The performances in his movies have real conviction and genuinely bring the scripts to life. I mean the guy got a solid performance from Blake Lively of all people. Blake Lively!!!

    If you see Argo you'd know he actually earned that oscar unlike the first one he won (co-writing Good Will Hunting). He's a much more complete filmmaker than Snyder at this point. Not only can he craft compelling action like in Argo and The Town but he gets great performances out of his entire cast something Snyder just can't seem to do.

    didnt even think of this. Jon Hamm as lex luthor was an early pick of mine but i didnt think it would get anywhere after the heisenberg rumors.

    Yea, you got me sold. Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie. I think he will have some input in the new MOS as well as justice league. He usually improvises his scripts as well to fit as much into character and a lot of actors don't do that.
