2. It's not too soon for a Batman movie. Though Batman will always be a timeless superhero, his fellow DC counterparts are quickly fading into the background of Marvel’s box office successes. Marvel already has quite a collection of movies under their belt that star Iron Man, Captain American, the Hulk, and the thunder god himself- Thor. If DC wants to stand a chance against Marvel, the time to strike is now, especially if a Justice may argue that Joseph GordonLevitt could possibly play Batman, but this is an entirely different enterprise with an entirely different director. Remember that. 5. The Internet wasn't so crazy about Heath Ledger too. When it was first announced that Heath Ledger was casted as Joker, the Internet was outraged. But Ledger blew everyone away with his amazing performance. If his portrayal of Joker in The Dark Knight wasn't proof enough, Ledger also won an Oscar for “Best Support Actor” for the film. Let's not forget that even though he got the most hate for being casted as the Joker, he did outcast every other actor before him that played Joker. Ben Affleck has proven how much he's matured as an actor as well as a director. We might actually be surprised by his performance in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel. I think, at the very least, we can give him a chance to suck at it before we rule him out altogether. 4. Ben Affleck is actually a good actor. peras an are easily forgettable, he's Though his early formances actor League movie is to be made. 3. It's not another Dark Knight movie. Get over it and accept it. We had our time to relish in the awesomeness of the Dark Knight trilogy but it's done and has been for some time now. We need to realize that Chris Nolan has happily moved on and has other projects to attend to, like his latest Interstellar. Some learned since then as a director. He's developed perspective and gained knowledge as one and because of it has grown as an actor. Have you seen the recent movies he's directed? The Town? Argo? If you haven’t, take some time out to watch them. If that doesn't convince you, check his credentials. Affleck has not one, but two Oscars to show for his talent.
