Yup, just heard this. I think it's about time for someone to go down and do something to just put a stop to this movie altogether. Good God.
Then again, I suppose he fits the look, and he's recently done some good work (though not for his acting! Dumbies...) but still. I want to pout about this for a long time before finally coming to terms with it. Plus I think they'll have a problem with recognizing him-- he's not the strongest actor-- most people are going to look at him and say, "Oh look, it's Ben Affleck pretending to be Batman," not "Oh look, it's Batman-- hey can you believe Ben Affleck did that part?"

Characters are more important than the actors that play them.... (IMHO)
Of course, I was really upset about MoS when they started making big announcements too, so maybe I'll be surprised. So far, this is shaping up to be far worse though.
