As I write this, I honestly can’t believe that it’s been less than 24 hours since Ben Affleck was announced as the new Batman. Memes have launched and subsequently dissipated, media outlets (including IGN) have collected reactions to the news from social media – some balanced and some not so much – and outrage has been strewn across the cyber battlefield.
Not since the Heath Ledger-as-Joker announcement has the Internet been so aflame with discussion about movie casting (how’d that Ledger thing turn out, by the way?).
Affleck is a great choice for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he’s bringing inherent pedigree to Superman vs. Batman. You know, the Oscar-winning writer/director, Ben Affleck. This is a pedigree that could very likely bring in a different audience, thus growing the box-office – and the appeal of the characters themselves.
