10 Depressing Things About Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

7. Ben Affleck Is Bruce Wayne

Speaking of reboots, how do you feel about the star of Daredevil taking up the cowl of the Caped Crusader now that we've all had time to adjust? As angry as you've ever been, you say? Well, that's unfortunate. You might consider therapy. As for the rest of us, well, it is indeed unfortunate that Ben Affleck's playing Bruce Wayne. But while it may be a disappointment for some fans, it's likely much worse for Affleck himself and cinemagoers in general. The actor is most probably locked into a multi-picture deal like Snyder, which means he's going to be very busy for the next couple of years, and anyone who's a fan of the films Affleck has directed in the last decade will probably be missing out on any of the projects he would be working on if not for his stint as the Dark Knight.
