And I sometimes get crap for this but Batfleck was pretty good too. Those movies had issues, oh my yes, but the casting for those 2 roles was not one of them. Luthor, on the other hand...
Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.
I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.
IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn't dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn't just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.
What, his cheeks spilling out of the mask doesn't inspire fear and justice to you!?
Probably a hot take, but I think Batfleck was the closest we've gotten to a comicbook accurate Batman. Batfleck's size and build were correct (physically imposing, could have been a bit taller), he was intelligent, mostly broody, and could fight. There are some things that could have been better (being a martial artist instead of being a brawler), but of all the movie incarnations so far I'd say he's the closest.
Honestly the scene with him going after the warehouse full of baddies to save Ma Kent was the closest live action version of cartoon Batman ever, and it was glorious.
I think physically Affleck was the only actor to play Batman that actually matched the character. Like Bruce is huge and has very wide shoulders and Affleck has the perfect silhouette for it. Also he can be a good actor too, he could have been great had he been given better material imho
Affleck as batman, Bale as Bruce.
Honestly, if Jesse Eisenberg had just been doing a version of his Zuckerberg from The Social Network, it would have been fine. His whole twitchy routine was weird as fuck.
that actor would have made a great joker.
