imho, it's a horrible choice. No one can take him serious as a strong guy. Also, I loved how the article totally forgot to mention Kilmer.
Batman vs Superman How do we feel about Ben Affleck as Batman? http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/23/ben-affleck-to-play-batman-in-man-of-steel-sequel
Considering they re-did Spiderman not 5 years after the last Spiderman movie with Toby Maguire, and Hollywood re-did Superman again, no less than 8 years after re-booting Superman the first time, nothing surprises me.
...only if it's for a satire comedy?! WTF Warner Bros. Well, at least the backlash has continued to mount a pretty heavy campaign against this casting --> Fans Petition Warner Bros. to Remove Ben Affleck as Batman

"Give Ben a chance!" Tweeted out Batman Forever star Val Kilmer. Adam West ✔ @therealadamwest Remember Ben, with the cape and cowl comes great responsibility (and lots of heat). Bring deodorant. #batman @BenAffleck 2:31 PM - 23 Aug 2013 Pop-culture King Joss Whedon Tweeted out that he thinks Affleck will "crush it," while comedian Patton Oswalt wrote a lengthy Facebook message calling for some perspective over the decision. "A Batman portrayed by someone who's tasted humiliation and a reversal of all personal valences -- kind of like Grant Morrison's "Zen warrior" version of Batman, post-ARKHAM ASYLUM, who was, in the words of Superman, "...the most dangerous man on the planet"?" Wrote Patton. "Think for a second and admit that Ben Affleck is closer to THAT top-shelf iteration of The Dark Knight than pretty much anyone in Hollywood right now." Joss Whedon ✔ @josswhedon Affleck'll crush it. He's got the chops, he's got the chin -- just needs the material. Affleck & Cavill toe to toe -- I'm in. 7:45 PM - 23 Aug 2013 And hey, we think he'll make a pretty great Batman too.
