And let's not forget Good Will Hunting. Can you say masterpiece?
Good thing that you touch it. Good Will Hunting is wonderfully written by Affleck and Damon. And one of the best things of it is that Affleck's role is minimal as I have a huge respect of him as a writer but not as an actor.

When you are asking the president of the United States to make it illegal for Ben to play any superhero role for "200 years", you need to get a life. These kinds of people make me ashamed to be alive sometimes.
It was a lesser role, but no less significant to the film, and Ben did an excellent acting job in it.
I would bet all the money I'll ever make in life that out of all the die-hard people who are petitioning and writing the president and trash talking him to a pathetic degree, over 80% will still see it.
Plus, shouldn't it be about casting Bruce Wayne, not Batman? I can't believe people are saying that he isn't 'built' probably. Uhhh...it's called working out. That's like calling Henry Cavill in 'The Cold Light of Day' 'not built properly' for 'Man of Steel,' and look at how absolutely ripped he was in the film.
And with the incredible work Affleck has done in recent years, people really think he isn't going to go into this role and give it 110%? Give me a break.
With Bale out the picture? Eon should approach Bale about the MAIN VILLAIN role for Bond 24!!!! [-O<

People can go mental online; I expect a "BenNotBatman.com" website any moment to rear its ugly head.
I may just go rent Argo again this weekend, too. Very worthwhile.
Affleck's a weird choice but he'll probably be good.
I'd rather get more Judge Dredd films out of him. Sadly though that doesn't seem likely.
I'd say that petition was a good thing. Now if I get the new xbox and my internets down for a few days I can still play it.
On topic, Affleck has already begun his workout for the role:

Affleck has a good look for Bruce Wayne but I don't think he is entirely suited for Wayne's alter ego. Atleast he's not too old though and looks good for his age. Brolin is 45 and certainly looks older than Affleck. Presuming Affleck plays the role well, then due to the fact that he's younger and looks young for his age, it means he can stay in the role of Batman for longer. Obviously this is only a virtue though if he plays the role well. Still, would have preferred Brolin though.
Affleck certainly isn't a bad actor but I find him a bit on the bland side. Maybe I haven't seen him in enough movies though. I think he's a better director than he is an actor.
I don't think I've seen him in any recent roles or if I have then I don't remember. So, maybe I shouldn't be saying anything. I found him a bit on the bland side in some of his roles from a few years ago.
Of course, online is an alternate route to viewing the film...
Always a possibility! Works for me.
Oh and former blofield himself Max Von Snydow is rumored for Alfred
That's true. No matter who they picked, someone would've been upset about it. Even if they kept Bale, those who hated him from the start would complain, or others would whine about them not spicing it up and changing the actor. You can't please everyone.
Sure.
After all, he was the bomb in Phantoms.
But what if Ben Affleck was chosen for the next Bond, how you you all react then?? HA
And while I was speaking about Batman and Bond, I ran into this gem.
Gives of a Bond / Roger Moore vibe I think, ha.
What is it? I don't see any image.
