Keaton? Bale? Prepare to bow down to your new Dark Knight.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is literally a matter of weeks away, and comic book fans the world over have been wetting their pants with excitement at seeing DC's two biggest properties facing off against one another. The big question since Ben Affleck's casting as the caped crusader is 'How will he compare to previous screen incarnations of the Dark Knight?'. Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's Batman movies and Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan's trilogy have left Affleck with some pretty huge boots to fill, but just how well will he really shape up to such beloved and well-regarded siblings? Fan and critical backlash is wholly anticipating that he'll bomb as the Bat, but little do they know the Boston native is going to blow it out of the water in his first outing. Using only footage from the released trailers, and interviews with the actors themselves, here's why Affleck will blow it out of the water once he dons the cowl and Batman v Superman opens in cinemas.
