Affleck is a hell of a director, been saying this for the longest (even when people here were giving me shit for saying Argo would get the Oscar nom...yup I ain't forgot lol). But he needs to stay BEHIND the camera.

Well, at least Ben Affleck won't say some over the top shit like "you know what, I think Batman should be a bi-sexual" like that gay English McMuffin that's currently playing Spider-Man.....niggas need to relax....

it wasnt. KIlmer did ok, and Jim Carrey was a lot of fun too. TLJ played Two Face as a Joker, which was its biggest mistake.

people's beef with anne hathaway & heath ledger wasn't with them being incapable tho it was just that people couldn't see them playing those roles.
it's a little bit of that for ben affleck, but it's moreso cuz he's just not a good actor so there's a much higher probability that he'll fuck up.

Snyder approached Affleck months ago, reports THR. Affleck would not take on this role unless he had some say in how this script turns out. He will have a strong hand at Warner Bros., which backed him on "The Town" and the Oscar-winning "Argo" and is invested in telling the town he's sticking around the studio. Affleck signed for multiple pictures. If this works out he'll have a major franchise to play with for years ahead. And a major studio where he can hang his hat, as his hero Clint Eastwood has done for decades.
Affleck tends to do better as an actor in his own pictures--which are often smarter than average studio fare. He shared a screenwriting Oscar with Matt Damon, after all, for "Good Will Hunting." The irony: Affleck turned down directing "Man of Steel." And did fine as George Reeves, TV's Superman, in little-seen "Hollywoodland." The LAT looks at which of his past roles prepared him for this one.

Ben Affleck's Batman vs. Superman Schedule
Oscar winner reportedly signed for multiple movies.
Better get used to the new big screen Batman Ben Affleck because it sounds like he's going to be around for awhile.
"Sources say that Affleck has been signed for multiple movies, should sequels continue to proliferate. The talks were so secretive that many Warners execs and most WME agents remained unaware of their existence," claims The Hollywood Reporter. Talks with Affleck began earlier this year when director Zack Snyder checked Affleck's interest. Early talks circled around story and character.
THR says Affleck will shoot David Fincher's Gone Girl this September through February before segueing to shoot Man of Steel 2/Superman vs. Batman from February through August 2014. The superhero pic will reportedly lens in Toronto.

7 Batman Films That Didn’t Make the Cut
By Thomas Mentel August 26, 2013http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/7-batman-films-that-didnt-make-the-cut.html/?ref=YF
While the news that Ben Affleck will play Batman sent the Internet into a frenzy last week, the one thing his hiring does do is finally put to rest more than a decade of uncertainty revolving around the Batman property.
Sure, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is a wonder to behold, but the problem has always been Nolan’s insistence that there would be no crossover comic characters in his films. With Warner Bros.’ (NYSE:TWX) hiring of Affleck as Batman, the character is now free to go where he wants.
But before the endless debate over whether Affleck is the right actor to don the cape, it’s as good a time as ever to discuss the various Batman projects that have almost come into existence over the course of nearly two decades. For the first time in over fifteen years, the uncertainty over the direction of Batman — and Superman — seem to be set for the foreseeable future. But it definitely wasn’t always like that.
Come take a look at seven Batman projects that almost came to be, from the earliest to most recent, after the jump.
Tim Burton’s Batman Forever (1995)
Tim Burton had originally been slated to take on Batman Forever, but the performance and reception of Batman Returns caused Warner Bros. to boot him from the project and later bring in Joel Schumacher — a decision the studio would love to forget. Batman Returns only made $266 million compared to Batman’s $411 million, while parents were uncomfortable with both the film’s violence an sexuality. Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer would have returned, but both ended up leaving when Burton was released.
In Burton’s version of Batman Forever, which apparently never reached the script stage, the Riddler would have still been the main villain and Robin Williams was reportedly on track to play the role — shaved and with question mark on his head no less.
Two-Face was rumored to play a secondary villain, as Billy Dee Williams had played Harvey Dent in Batman, and early versions of the Batman Returns script show Dent being electrocuted towards the end of the film, which would have seemingly fed into his role in the third film.
The strangest hypothetical in this version of Batman Forever? Apparently Marlon Wayans had actually screen-tested for the role of Robin and was later replaced by Chris O’Donnell. Chances are, with Burton’s help, it would have ended up better.
Batman Triumphant (1999)
Before talking about Batman Triumphant, it’s important to talk about what happened in the years after Tim Burton was booted off Batman Returns. While Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever performed fairly well, making $336 million, Batman and Robin, released in 1997, was an absolute train wreck, making only $238 million on a $125 million budget. The backlash and poor box office performance of the film put the Batman franchise on hold for almost a decade at Warner Bros.
Up until Batman and Robin had been released, the studio had been planning another Batman film, entitled Batman Triumphant, in which director Schumacher was slated to return along with the main cast of the previous film. While Schumacher wanted to do a darker film based upon the well-known Frank Miller comic The Dark Knight Returns, the studio wanted the film to be marketable, remembering all too well the problems they ran into with Tim Burton’s Batman Returns.
Before Batman Triumphant was shut down in the aftermath of Batman and Robin, the film was set to star Nicolas Cage as Scarecrow and a rumored Madonna as Harley Quinn, playing Joker’s daughter in this version of events. The film also might have had Jack Nicholson returning to Batman during a dream sequence likely brought on by Scarecrow’s fear gas. Not necessarily the worst sounding Batman film by any means, but who knows what the film might have been like given the direction the series had been going.
The Dark Knight Returns (1999)
Despite the failure of Batman and Robin, Warner Bros. was still discussing plans for a new movie with Joel Schumacher in 1999 and the studio at least entertained the idea of adapting Frank Miller’s famous The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel.
The Dark Knight Returns tells the story of a 55-year-old Bruce Wayne who returns from retirement to fight crime, encountering opposition from both police and a U.S. government holding the leash to Superman. Some of the villains that show up in the comic include Two-Face, the Joker, and Selina Kyle.
Both Michael Keaton and Clint Eastwood were rumored for the lead role of an older Bruce Wayne/Batman, but Warner Bros. balked at the dark threads present in the graphic novel, feeling that such a film wouldn’t be marketable. Though no film came of that particular comic, an animated movie was made in recent years.
