How can you be Batman when youre the Daredevil?
Ben Aflac's career is washed up.

Right. I'm sure that Argo would disagree with you.
That being said, hahahaha... Hopefully, this will be the final movie in this tragically bad series.

Affleck's *** chin:
A flying, probably pregnant bat:
He might make a great pregnant Batman.

It has nothing to do with hating Ben Affleck. He is good for certain types of movies. Not as Batman.

Bale was far and away the best batman they have had, terrible voice effects aside. Affleck is a good actor when the movie is right for him, but he has had some of the all-time worst movies as well, and he is anything but the batman archetype. I just don't see it. Not sure why they went away from Bale for this next flick, but I think it will end up being a mistake. Maybe they were afraid Bale would just plain overshadow Henry Cavill, who did a fine job in Man of Steel but doesn't have the acting "chops" so to speak to stand up against Bale and hold his own. Now against Affleck Cavill comes across as the stronger actor. We will see I guess. I will still see it, but I might wait for it to hit the Grand Sierra Cinema ($3 theater in the Grand Sierra Casino that gets mainstream movies a few weeks after they leave the big theaters...awesome value and great popcorn. =)
I despise having to admit that. Every time I'm reminded of that fact I start thinking "well, I guess slitting your wrists is an option".
Seriously. Everyone's got that guy in Hollywood they hate, and with a vengeance. For some people it's Hugh Jackman, others is Matthew McConaughey... Bale takes the plate. For two reasons, only one of which are not really his fault. First, his freakout pisses me off.
I guess I better not post it, since it might get me an infraction. Look it up though.
Why? I just hate it when someone that's paid so much money to do something gets this upset because his job is challenging. I guess that's it. The second? The Illusionist with Edward Norton was way, way, WAY better than The Prestige, and the The Prestige seems to be the movie people talk about more.
That being said, I have to admit that Bale was the best Batman we've had. And to replace him with an actor that has proven time and time again that he can't portray someone with true inner strength and power believably.. someone that comes off as "cheap" in these roles (see; Daredevil) is cheapening the title of "Batman".
But then again, perhaps they put Affleck in place as a lame duck Batman, so the next person they get to play him won't feel the pressure of the Bale shadow.
