Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice - 10 Major Concerns Fans Still Have
8. Batfleck
Since Batman v Superman was first announced, no piece of news surrounding the films development has been more immediately controversial than the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman. Those stuck in the early 2000s argued how he ruined Daredevil as they started online petitions to block Afflecks return to the superhero movie genre. Much of the anger towards Batfleck has subsided. Early marketing images show how great he looks in the batsuit and spy photos from the set have Affleck looking just as pitch perfect in Bruce Waynes civilian garb. His more recent acting résumé (Argo, The Town, etc.) shows that his skills have developed enough to ensure Affleck will do more than just look the part. The issue really lies with the audiences ability to accept a new Batman within 4 years of the last one. The Dark Knight Trilogy and its Batman, Christian Bale, are beloved the world over and continuity changes are going out of style, if were to believe the reaction to Sonys The Amazing Spider-Man series is the start of a trend. The good news is that audiences have readily accepted more actors as Batman than they have for any other superhero in the history of the genre. If Ben brings his A game, any problems Batman v Superman may have wont come from the guy who got top billing.
