If the internet was around when Tim Burton was casting the 89 film, we'd probably be hearing the same knee-jerk reaction to Mr. Mom as the caped crusader. Well, if the Heath Ledger bashing taught us anything was that perhaps we should wait until we see the final product, i.e., the actor in the role. The problem is, I've seen Daredevil. Heck, I've seen plenty of movies with Affleck. All of them very weak, or saved by a superior co-star. The guy can't act! It's not a matter of him not being right for whatever archetype we have of Batman. Ledger was bashed because everyone was too hung up on Jack Nicholson and Ledger had recently been in the controversial Brokeback Mountain. Affleck, on the other hand, is just a poor actor. Better director than actor. I'll keep an open mind, but there had to be better choices.
