Well at the rate he's going, we'll probably have ample time to get used to the pick, go through all the stages of denial and grief, and make peace with it before the cameras even start rolling, lol.You know what I was just thinking? As anxious as we all are for movement on the Reeves film, what if the new Batman actor isn't at all to our liking? Once the announcement comes, it's pretty much final. Ponder on that for a minute. lol

Not much, I don’t think. People hating a casting choice when it’s first announced is nothing new now; just ask Ben Affleck.
While there are examples where the initial criticism turns out to not really improve this once the film is released (Jesse’s Lex), it usually subsides once the movie is able to speak for itself.
Hell, there will probably be at least some initial backlash online by virtue of the new actor not being Ben. They’ll get over it. Probably.
I don't think any one particular candidate has dominated the talks recently, so whomever gets cast will likely get a "I'm open to it" from the hardcore base, given their filmography supports that benefit of the doubt.Eh.. I meant more in the personal sense (e.g., as much as I very much want to enjoy the MCU's take on Spidey, Tom Holland just kills it for me). Also, I was sort of speaking to the occasional manner in which fans have been known to want something so bad only to have it disappoint them the second upon receiving it. Whatever the case, it'll definitely be interesting to see how folks react to the new Bruce Wayne unless, by some miracle, Ben reprises the role.
You not keen on Holland? Interesting, i could never believe in Toby Maguire's PP, he was just too slow and not at all heroic/athletic. Garfield looked too old and had that hipster, quirky vibe... Holland i like.Eh.. I meant more in the personal sense (e.g., as much as I very much want to enjoy the MCU's take on Spidey, Tom Holland just kills it for me).

If someone has good editing skills, just add Ben's appearance in Suicide Squad (including that talk with Waller), most of his scenes in BvS and few of his scenes in JL and make a movie out of it.there must be someone out there that can use the footage from BvS and make a short film or a trailer for non film and just leave us with what could have been.
I still say a Batman movie with Batfleck and it follow a story line similar to 'leon' where he reluctantly trains up a new 'Robin' then goes in to rescue her from a botched mission, could be awesome. If you haven't seen leon, i reccomend it.
Even with Ben being my favorite Batman, I've long since made peace with his departure from the DCEU. That said, I'm not especially keen on any of his would-be replacements mentioned thus far. The only ones I can live with are, as follows: Jon Hamm, Aidan Turner or Wes Bentley.
Short clip from where??--EDIT-- Couldn't embed due to language, but there's a short clip out there showing Batman taking out a GCPD camera with a batarang.
Short clip from where??
Thanks buddy!Sorry, I should have clarified! I'll message you the link, but it looks like it's from JL and you can find it on twitter.
Search twitter user "moaning waynes" lol.
There was talk of Ben vacating the role long before we heard anything about Reeves' back-to-basics approach. So, who knows what ultimately led to his departure? To your point, though, a younger Batman is all but a certainty now, I get that. Hamm is just one of my dream cast choices, and as old as he is now, I'd prefer that the part go to him over someone like Hammer or Isaac.I think if we are considering Jon Hamm we can also look at Richard Armitage. Both Jon Hamm and Richard Armitage are now 47 years old, if age was the issue why Ben Affleck is stepping down, then it makes no sense to get Jon Hamm or Richard Armitage who are one year Older than him. Especially when Affleck is in better physical shape than either of them.
Josh Brolin would be a great actor to carry on from Batfkeck, Sam Worthington lookwise would do well.. has an affleck vibeThere was talk of Ben vacating the role long before we heard anything about Reeves' back-to-basics approach.

Isn't Hamm even older than Ben? Wouldn't make much sense if they want to go younger Bats.There was talk of Ben vacating the role long before we heard anything about Reeves' back-to-basics approach.

Again, Hamm's just a personal preference irrespective of what we've heard so far. I don't actually expect to see him cast in the role.Isn't Hamm even older than Ben? Wouldn't make much sense if they want to go younger Bats.
Whatever happened to Sam Worthington? I genuinely forgot about him. lolJosh Brolin would be a great actor to carry on from Batfkeck, Sam Worthington lookwise would do well.. has an affleck vibe
I was gonna make a time joke, but Flicky already beat me to it.Get the kid from Stranger Things as Batman.
He's tied up with 100 Avatar filmsWhatever happened to Sam Worthington? I genuinely forgot about him. lol
I honestly don't see why they are continuing, it was amazing (to some) for it's time, but that was then - i don't think he is a bad actor at all, not great, but as Bruce, just fine.He's tied up with 100 Avatar films
Doing a movie with King Arthur, Maxwell Lord, Po Dameron, and Sam FlynnI wonder what Ben has on his slate for the next year.
