@IGN I totally hate it.

Others are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt

@IGN Great. Let's just hope he doesn't pull a Clooney like in Batman and Robin. Lest we forget Gigli.

@IGN I'm pretty sure he won't let us down. With Snyder directing I think everyone's great.

@IGN Heath Ledger was criticized when he was cast as the Joker. Look how that turned out. Is this weird? Hell yes, but he might be the best.

@IGN yes! (Am I the only one thats hyped about it?)

While some are still on the fence

@IGN better than Orlando Bloom

@IGN Not sold on it right now. Hopefully they can convince me otherwise.

Obviously people will be debating this piece of casting news for awhile. What do you think? Do you still have that awful taste of Daredevil in your mouth? Or do you believe Ben Affleck has grown as an actor and can become the caped crusader we have come to love? Let us know in the comments below!
