Was Richard Armitage in serious consideration, or was his name just brought up by fans?
Probably the latter.

I think Affleck's square jaw is a bit more debatable, but whatever squaredness he lacks in jaw, he makes up for in SQUARE CHIN.Don't forget...
Campea mentioned he know the actor that will replace Affleck. I gotta give the guy credit. He have been saying this since february and no one believed him.

Frankly, I feel the same way with the choice of Jon Hamm.
Affleck has similar characteristics but a bit more range than Hamm and Hammer.
LOL, I was in no way suggesting Batman actors must have square jaws. If you look back how we got on the topic, I was merely responding Hurm's claim that people like Armie so much because he has that square-jawed look, and how I don't think he even has that.To be honest, I don't expect every Batman or Superman actor to have a lantern jaw. Something like this, for example, would be a little too much. lol
Ben's facial dimensions are a good fit, though, and I'll be damned if they don't almost perfectly align with that Bruce illustration I just posted. Granted, his pronounced jowls give him a puffy appearance at times, but no one's perfect.
And I even forgot the king of the square jaws:

But yes, Bale's my favorite Batman, and I wouldn't consider him square-jawed, either. I was just making an observation and continuing my bewilderment over the Armie Hammer Appeal, lol.

He's almost 50 so I think he's aged out of that conversation. But...Waldau's a really solid actor and has a good look for a superhero. WB needs to cast him in something ASAP.
I would scream for joy if that happened, lol.^ Hal Jordan
Yeah, because of the cowl, the chin really is more key for a good Batman look.I don't think it's so much the jaw, but that he has to have a well defined chin. Christian Bale did a good portrayal of Batman, but his sloping chin always took me out of it.
Affleck is excellent in The Town and Gone Girl.Ben Affleck has more range than Jon Hamm?
No offense, but...I find that point of view baffling. Affleck has never had a performance as great as Don Draper, nor is he as effective at both humor and drama like Hamm is.

The only other places I've seen him besides New Frontier was in Future's End in the New 52 and the JLU animated series. He could potentially be the DCEU's Nick Fury (as in, government spy/liason to the Justice League). In Future's End, he was an operative assigned to hunt down spies of alien and/or inter-dimensional origins hiding on Earth, which if nothing else could make him a good lead for a DCEU-set TV series, imo. Waldau would be a great pick for him either way, though. Good call.Maybe he could play one of the older DC characters then.
Is King Faraday any interesting? I only know of him from DC : The New Frontier, which was a great read IMHO.
I'd prefer Ben to stay, he just fits the role perfectly. I love Fass, but the dude is really slight and probably about 5'11". That movie he's in with Gina Cerano he looks so small next to her. I know she's an extremely fit woman, but she looks like she could crush him.
I still hold out hope that a good audience reaction and a f***-ton of money can convince him to stay.
