Poll How do you like Batfleck now? (52 votes)

Still think there are better options, but he'll do. 23%
Awful choice. 13%
Great choice. 65%
Great Batman, awful Bruce Wayne. 2%
Great Bruce Wayne, awful Batman. 4%

When Afleck was first cast to be the Caped Crusader, there was a massive influx of complaints and jokes at his expensive.

"Afleck? As Batman? Have you SEEN Daredevil?!"

But, with time, opinions change. We now have seen him in costume, as Bruce Wayne, some very brief footage and leaked stills, and have even heard him deliver a line.

Now that time has allowed tempers to cool and people to sit on the idea, how do you think Afleck will do as Batman/Bruce Wayne?

We can still only judge him based on his appearance in the teaser and photos, but I hope people are starting to come around.

I never came to a conclusion on how he'd do and I still haven't nor should anyone, really. So far he's only spoken two lines and they were through a voice changer/filter.

At first I was like he's too old, then Zack Snyder said his Batman will be older. Ever since then I've been fine with it.

I actually liked the casting since day one. Affleck was easily the best choice out of the other actors that were being considered IMO. There's also what he brings to the table as a director.

Never had a problem with him playing the role. That being said we still haven't seen nearly enough to know if he's good in it.

I've never hated him as Batman. I did have other actors that I would have preferred, but I'm fine with him. I've always felt he got some pretty harsh treatment throughout his career. He's a pretty accomplished dude now and people were complaining about him being cast because of some bad movies he made a decade ago.

Plus, he's positively jacked as Batman. He looks like he's built like a brick s***house in costume.

I still don't get him as Batman. I mean he looks ok in the suit, but so did George Clooney. I just don't feel he fits Wayne the same as I didn't feel Clooney or Kilmer did.

This is a personal opinion thing so don't get all huffy if I don't think he fits the role. My reasoning is that any time he gets to looking like he's brooding he looks like a little sad puppy. To me Batman or Bruce is always a person on edge. He is the guy that sits on the very edge of violent rage, but what makes him unique is his force of will to keep from going over the edge. He deals with a daily sorrow and sadness, but he has to keep his rage in check. He isn't someone who lost a parent without seeing it. He was powerless to stop it and punishes himself all the time for it and this builds rage.

Affleck just doesn't have that edgey look. I feel a person who has played psychotics or extreme violent characters and is known for it has the look for both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Keaton and Bale both had this look and both had played psychotic characters in other roles.

Aside from the quality or style of the movie I felt Ben Affleck looked the part of Daredevil perfectly. Daredevil always came off to me as a person of compassion a softer hand. Batman has a coldness to him a kind of hard attitude that you only see broken when he's truly enraged. Anyway that's my two cents. Affleck is a good actor I just never felt his style fits Batman, but as I said it's opinion take it as you will.

Oh and I think it's funny how people seem to think you can't judge something before you've seen it. I can imagine Affleck will do a decent enough job as Batman. Still doesn't mean I will like his portrayal of Batman or Bruce. A person who has a negative opinion about something when proven right is considered to be right. When a person who decides they changed their mind about it then they accept that they were wrong. Imagining that you have to wait till the results are in to cast a decision as to how the dice will land is dumb.

I hated the choice at first and then I decided to wait until the movie comes out. Now after seeing the trailer, I really like this Batman. Both suits look badass and he looks cool overall. The batmobile and batpod are looking pretty good too. We'll have to wait until the movie comes out, because I can't really judge Bruce Wayne from how looks in a shirt and tie.

How exactly? Because what you feel Clooney and Kilmer played good Waynes?

Opinion and personal taste doesn't need credibility.

I didn't care then and I don't care now. Bats Vs Supes is a flick I am Redboxing and/or Netflixing. I am not interested in watching it on the big screen unless my brother buys my ticket. There are too many films coming out.


BvS, Antman, and Fant4stic are on my Redbox/Netflix list. (+)
