He's a decent choice, but he won't top Bale's perfomance.

Bale's Batman voice could be perfectly taken seriously

You're right. Bale set the bar so high, how could Affleck ever top this...

Affleck might be a better Batman than Bale, but not a better Bruce Wayne. And there were a bunch of better choices than Affleck.

Bale's Batman was only criticized because of the silly voice & aside from that it was all good
His Bruce Wayne though was perfect

Bale was a great Bruce Wayne, but a terrible Batman. Not just because of the voice, but also because he was very weak, not as intelligent, and was very out of character at times. It's not Bale's fault though. That's just how the character was written.
Affleck's version will focus more on Batman from The Dark Knight Returns. Which is why I have faith in Affleck, because he's going to make Bale's Batman look like a pussy.

TDKR has it's fair share of problems as well, considering Batman was a fucking dickhead in it and an absolute murdering fucking psychopath.

He can definitely play Batman, but I don't see him topping Bale's acting perfomance, regardless.
I just hope they fix the sequel's writing rather than its characters; I have faith in Goyer doing the characters justice, but I'm still nervous about the writing of the finished product.

Not everyone has the same shit opinion as you, Jack. Ben Affleck is a good actor. Not great, but good. Far better than Armie Hammer and Michael Keaton that's for sure.

1) No he's not. 2) I wasn't criticizing your opinion on Ben Affleck, but your need to defend him even when he's not being criticized is amusing. What I'm saying is that you don't understand the difference between the reaction towards RDJ's Tony Stark / Heath Ledger's Joker and Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne. I've explained it multiple times but you clearly don't get it, lol.

@Jack
What don't I understand? That Robert Downey Jr. and Heath Ledger were already good actors and not Ben Affleck? I was there, I remember when people first bitched about Robert Downey Jr. and Heath Ledger when they were first cast as Iron Man and The Joker. Even people who are against Ben Affleck admitted that he's a good actor. The reason why people are bitching about Ben Affleck as Batman is because... well... he's Ben Affleck.

They're bitching because they don't think he's a good actor. What does "because... well... he's Ben Affleck" even mean? That people don't dislike Ben Affleck for his acting or his movie choices, they just inherently hate him because he's him?

Because Ben Affleck was a joke 10 years ago, and people can't seem to let it go. Kinda like your love for Armie Hammer.

He was a joke ten years ago because he was a terrible actor then. He's a mediocre actor now. They don't hate him for no reason.

Christian Bale is too busy drinking his own urine to play Batman again.
