8 Reasons why Affleck will be do a good job as Batman (Pt.2)
4. Zack isn’t stupid We all know Sucker Punch wasn’t the best of his movies, and we have right reason to believe that he may screw this one up too. But we tend to forget that he has been learning from Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer and it was with their help that he portrayed a very interesting, and in my opinion, a rather unique spin on Superman. He seemed to have a knack for for portraying stories. ‘Man of Steel’ was a good movie, after all it was of Kent finding his way in this world, not pun intended, and I think he did a good job in making the audience feel the detachment and alienation he felt. 4. He’ll work behind the scenes Affleck isn’t that sort of an actor who just does the bare minimum required, but actually gives a lot of input ...
8 Reasons why Affleck will be do a good job as Batman (Pt.1)
As if there wasn’t enough hype about Superman and Batman starring in the same movie, and then have Bale declining a 50 million dollar deal, we are now faced with the suspense of who would be cast as the next Batman.

The net was circling with negative comments about how he wont be able to do a good job and also how he didn’t do a convincing job as comic character in the past.

Here are just 8 of the many reasons why I think he could potentially do a good job as the next Batman- 8. He won’t be taking this one lightly In Novembe...
