So, the bat is out of the bag and the man that’ll be stepping into the sizeable shoes of the Dark Knight, in 2015′s Man of Steel sequel, is none other than Ben Affleck – a controversial choice, to say the least. The internet is ablaze (figuratively) with emotion, with a lot of negative juju being thrown in the way of poor Mr. Batfleck. I don’t think he’s the worst choice but that’s another opinion for another article, the point of the day is that there were better choices out there… At least 5, in fact. And holy coincidence, Batman, here they are!

Many moons ago, the DC film universe looked much different than what it does today.
Air Review: An exceptional story that fills us with learnings and passion.
There's a line from Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" that says "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone." That's also an accurate assessment of Ben Affleck's time as Batman. Though his initial casting was met with fan backlash (let's feign shock and horror here), he established himself as a credible and distinct Dark Knight. Some fans have even proclaimed him the best Batman there's ever been. The Oscar-winning filmmaker has made it clear that he no longer wants to make big franchise movies, including superhero flicks, so "The Flash" may well end up being his Batman swansong.
"Better Batmen". Technically, you should only be able to list people who have already played Batman.
I could answer this question with just one.... ANYONE ELSE!
Josh Brolin would be cool
Jon Hamm would be perfect.
Ben Affleck would play a great Bruce Wayne and a horrible Batman.
