The Ben Affleck Batman

There is so much controversy over just some simple casting. You would have thought a comedian had been cast as the Dark Knight. Just like in 1989. Like it or not, Ben Affleck will be playing Batman in the upcoming Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. See images new and old, after the jump.

Affleck is seen above in the first Batman image of the film with the Batmobile in what was ridiculed across the internet as the ‘sad Batman’ pic. I like it. I like Affleck as Batman, but then again I’m probably one of the few folks who thought he was good in Daredevil too.
