In the most recent news there was an announcement for the new "Worlds Finest" movie, as some of us fans are calling it. Or to the folks familiar with the movie and entertainment business "The Unnamed Zack Snyder Super Hero Movie" or just simply the Superman/ Batman movie. In response to this one of my FaceBook friends,
+Whitney Barber, put up a post simply called "The Affleck Riots". Many people chimed in on this topic and some even stated in very colorful terms how disappointed they were in this choice. Now most people remember all of the many Hollywood actors to play the role of The Batman. For most naming an actor that has donned the cowl of the bat is more so in the aspect of whom they feel did the worst job. I try my best to avoid these types of conversations. In my opinion the whole franchise went south the moment Tim Burton stop making them. Of course that does not include the Nolan trilogy or some of the other animated feature films.

For a lot of us fans we all have who we think would make a good Caped Crusader. I didn't think that
+Christian Bale would have been a good Bruce Wayne. Now I say this specifically since the key, in my humble opinion, is that to be Batman you have to be not just a good, but believable Bruce Wayne. Since anyone can put on a cowl and a cape with some spandex and go beat up bad guys. Becoming the part in total and not just taking favor to one part of the role over the other. There are people whom have posted that now they cannot imagine anyone else playing the role of the Dark Knight. Furthermore, I personally didn't think that Heath Ledger would have been a good Joker in the Dark Knight. I even went on a rant and actually argued down a few people explaining why he would suck. But, just as many other people did, I ate a crap load of crow when I watched "The Dark Knight". I wasn't just blown away by his performance, he in fact did such an awesome job that now I can't see the role being done by someone either just as good or better. When I say better I mean, they had better be completely awesome or it'll be a total fail. But, it's just that type of attitude that has caused all of this up roar about someone else taking on the mantle of such an iconic role.
I personally will give Ben the opportunity to either wow me or disappoint equally. I know many fans are quick to jump on the whole well look at what Ben did in "Daredevil". I saw the movie and I lay most of the blame on the studio. Yes, he wasn't all that grand in the role and there are many debates that I have witnessed on why. For me personally what it all comes down to is whether or not if he'll deliver the goods on "this" role. It's been a few years since he did Daredevil and I'm sure he's grown as an actor. I have yet to see Argo, but I've heard only good things about it. Also, since then Ben has been directing movies as well, so perhaps this will give him some better insight as how to approach the role. I would love to hear from anyone that comes across my humble posting on the subject at hand.
I guess in the end we'll just have to follow what Bane has suggested:
Besides I'm sure there are a few actors out there looking to take on being Batman, for the second or third time. Just in case if Ben sucks and he goes down faster than the Titanic.
