I really hope he's out, and I can't say I feel much sympathy for him either (not talking about his personal issues obviously).
Since the day he was cast I feel like Affleck has been on the defensive, always bringing up fan backlash, his DD stint, how hard it is to work out, etc. Then we got the whole sad Affleck meme and BVS. Even with his solo Batman movie that was supposed to be his pet project, that WB gave him full control over, for over a year he just continually kept saying how hard it is, how he wants to get it right, how nothing is set in stone, etc etc. Basically being totally non-commital.
Honestly I just don't get the sense that he really wants this role, or if he does, he's not willing to put up with the rigors of it.
It feels like there's been a pity party for him since the day he was cast, but it needs to end. Time to get a fresh face beneath the cowl, and hopefully this time the actor is actually into it.
