Affleck is Batman
So everyone is freaking out that Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman in the new "Superman vs. Batman" movie. OK, I get the concern, but really people, do you have to be so MEAN? Especially you, Richard Dreyfuss. I assume he read for Alfred. Talking smack publicly about your potential costar is just shitty, and sorry but you haven't done crap in years. At least Affleck has Oscar-winning films under his belt within the past decade.
Sure, Affleck screwed the pooch on "Daredevil." Just because he had one bad superhero movie doesn't mean they all will be. Remember how everyone loved Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, and then "The Green Lantern" sucked? Besides, look at Affleck's recent acting gigs: "The Town" and "Argo" were fine, if not good performances. Sure, he directed himself in those, but he was actually REALLY good in "Hollywoodland." I'd be more concerned with the director & screenwriter. You can't make a good movie from a bad screenplay or if there's an idiot at the helm.
And finally, remember way back when Michael Keaton was cast as Batman in the very first movie? No one thought he'd be good, and looked how that turned out.
In summation: the fanboys should stop wetting themselves, amd they certainly shouldn't be so rude. I know that's the usual Internet fanboy M.O., but COME ON.
