Ben Aflek as Batman is the Worst Travesty of All Time

Did no one see Daredevil? Did anyone think it was good? It wasn't. Nothing about it was good. It even led to a worse spin-off movie for Jennifer Garner that was so bad I walked out on it... and it was a DVD. I walked out of my own house, still playing Elektra, just to get away from it.
I don't give a rat's ass if Aflek is now an Oscar calibre director. That has nothing to do with being Batman. He was already Daredevil: a costumed vigilante who uses ninja skills to avenge his parent's death by beating up dispondent street thugs. They both even have horns on their cowls and refuse to use guns and refuse to kill bad guys no matter how much sense it makes. They're the same fucking character, except for a trust fund and super-senses. There was evena plotline where Batman was blind like Daredevil. Aflek was Daredevil and he blew it. He even had Kevin Smith as a best friend who wrote a lot of the Daredevil comics. Those comic were conisdered good. Kevin Smith also wrote for Batman. Those comics were considered bad.Batman peeing his pant bad.

That's bad. Inexusably bad. So he's getting less valid pointers from his protege. Also, he has to portray Batman that's distinct from the other five other itterations. He can't be kampy or gritty.
Aflek as Daredevil had the bonus of playing a blind character, so he could stare off in the distance and not emote properly while saying things like, "I'm not the bad guy." He still blew it. Now he's going to rake in millions upon millions of dollars for getting buff and grumbling his dialogue, because, "Hollywood."
When will it all end?
