10 Least Convincing Movie Badasses
2. Ben Affleck - Daredevil (Daredevil)
Ben Afflecks career was in trouble when he made Daredevil. He was still engaged to Jennifer Lopez, he kept making bad movie choices and everyone had turned against him since his Oscar win (Best Screenplay for Good Will Hunting). He probably hoped Daredevil would help turn things around, and maybe give him a franchise to boot. The movie only added to his woes.
Now, Daredevil is a blind superhero who uses his enhanced senses to take on the bad guys; he's so good he can leap into a room filled with armed henchmen and still come out on top. Affleck totally lacks the charisma needed to make that work, with the silly outfit definitely not helping. It even fails as a disguise; as all people would need to see is that distinctive Affleck chin jutting out to know who he is. A stunt double does most of the fights for him, so he cant even put a physical stamp on the character. Afflecks embarrassment about the movie led to him taking a self imposed exile from comic book movies, until Zach Synder showed up at his door with Batman V Superman. Lets hope that one turns out better for him.
