Ben Affleck As Batman? Thousands Sign Removal Petition
I think this is really mean. It's one thing to say you don't like him acting but it's another to create a petition...
When it was first announced...
People hated Keaton as Batman...
They hated Ledger as the Joker...
They hated Craig as Bond...
That's all I'm going to say.
I think there's a difference, though. Craig and Ledger were at least considered to be good actors prior to their being cast as Bond and the Joker respectively. I think their casting in those roles was looked down upon initially because they didn't fit a certain mold, not necessarily due to a perceived lack of acting skills.
Affleck really isn't that strong of an actor. Affleck manages to turn in decent to above-par performances when he's also serving as the film's director (see The Town and Argo), but he's mediocre at best over the rest of his performances.
That's not to say that I don't like Ben Affleck. The man's a very, very talented director, and I think that he'd probably turn in a better Batman vs. Superman than Snyder were he to be the one in the director's chair.
That's not really fair just because you don't think he is a good actor doesn't mean that that's true. I happen to disagree with you...
But it's true: He IS a much better director than actor and belongs behind a camera now, not in front of it.
I will agree with that he is much much better as a director than an actor, but I don't think he is that bad.
. Having only watched up until half of season three, Breaking Bad, from the start, was a decent show, with an interesting premise, but the concept and the story got stale quickly, as do most shows (eg: Dexter).
