I hate when people say "Called it!" buuuuut, way back when Affleck was first announced and people were gettin' all crazy riled up over it, I predicted he'd be a favorite part of it when the film eventually surfaced.
I find it hard to believe that Affleck could be anyones favourite anything, but I'll try and prize my mind open and give this a fair viewing...
If the film is anything like this, I will be thrilled.

Have to agree with Karzak. It's cheesy and it's dated thanks to the Schumacher theme. That's not the kind of movie I want to see in 2016.
Bale did a fantastic Bruce Wayne but he wasn't the best Batman. Busy costume, odd voice, lack of skilled fighting style, etc. That's why Keaton edged out Bale for me as well. I did love the Nolan films and their naturalistic style though, so I wasn't too keen on a return to a more comic booky tone but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. With Affleck it looks like we're getting pretty much everything most of us like to see in Batman and they seem to be doing it without giving up on the naturalistic tone that's still popular. We're getting a good balance. I never had a problem with Affleck the actor but I did wonder if the fact that it was him would be a distraction. It isn't. Not really. He does fit the image quite well and he's gone even further to immerse himself into the part.
