And now...Ben Affleck is Batman.
Batman goes from Christian Bale to the guy who brought us Gigli, Pearl Harbor, & Daredevil. Is DC/Warner Bros just that clueless? Do they secretly work for Marvel? I'm no director and I would have cast Richard Armitage, Anson Mount or Josh Brolin 10x over before Affleck's name even hit my mind as a serious option.
I thoroughly enjoyed Man of Steel but is that it for DC? Is this the death knell of the company or am I being overly critical of the people that turned Heath Ledger into the perfect Clown Prince of Crime and made me believe Michael Keaton was Batman for a time?

It's Been Awhile...
I want to apologize for the disappearing act. I had to get some things right with myself and right with where I was. While I don't think I'm 100% there yet, I think I'm doing better enough to come out into the digital world again, at least semi-regularly. I know some of you here and on my Discord server were concerned about me and my health and I avoided any and all conversation. I was in semi-lurk mode for over half a year. During that time you learn a lot about who your real friends are and who you thought were your family. Some of it was really eye-opening. As things got better for me here behind the keyboard I had one friend in particular who never gave up and continued to send me well wishes and messages and kind words. I want to give a special shout-out to a true friend @BombshelI for never giving up on me, forcing me into actually having conversations and truly helping me through a great deal of my online issues (as well as giving great advice for RL ones). I could not have

So here are what some very close friends of mine have been up to with Olga! So my friend @spiresrich has been showcasing a bevy of images relating to SSW and her rogues gallery. I love his art and his friendship over all these years: All these and a few others, so please go and check out what he has and give him some encouragement! Speaking of encouraging friends, my buddy @BombshelI , when he isn't showering me with amazing AI artwork has an interesting cameo in his Bombshell origin story which I hope all of you go and check out, she's an amazing OC! Finally, not not at all least, my good friend @MGNOTEBOOK has a surprise for all you HARDCORE muscle worshipers and those who love SSW - like chocolate and peanut butter. Go to his page and check it out, or better give him some love on his Patreon! He and I have some crazy-badass ideas we are hatching out that I think you'll love!

More on that as I get them finished! In the meantime, as stated, here are some things you might have missed!

You're being VERY overly critical. Even Paul Dini, who WRITES THE COMIC, is endorsing Affleck as Batman. But to your point:
Affleck as an actor now is much more mature than he was when he did Gigli, Daredevil and Pearl Harbor. Watch his more recent works like Argo and The Town and see how much he has changed as an actor.
As for Daredevil, the problem with that film was not Affleck. It was the script and the director. The guy who wrote that film wrote the first Ghost Rider film with Nicholas Cage. It doesn't matter as good or bad an actor is, a bad script will hinder a performance.
I've been a Batman fan for almost 35 years and I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on this to the same people that, like you said, made me believe that Michael Keaton was Batman just for a bit and Heath Ledger was The Joker.
Another side note, with what I have heard talked about with the film, and potential future films in the franchise, I can see where Affleck would be the perfect choice for the role.
