Ben Affleck's Batman
Recently, I've been following rumors that the new, upcoming Batman film by Matt Reeves will not be part of the DCEU and will not star Ben Affleck. Reports following these rumors have so far confirmed that these rumors are not true. All I have to say is, thank goodness! I think of every live action interpretation of Batman that I've seen, with the possible exception of Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck's is my favorite. "He should play the shark!," as Kevin Smith would say. This drive to belittle Ben Affleck, Zack Snyder, Batman V Superman, and to want to replace Affleck's Batman with a younger Batman seems bizarre and a little confusing to me. Could it be that these people want a more Aryan Batman? That would, I think, not be in keeping with the spirit of the character, who many creators have depicted as Jewish (all right, fine, in Batman V Superman he appears to be Christian). Note to studio execs who may be reading this: don't listen to every internet troll you come across. They seem to be a mix of kids messing around on their parents computers, folks who haven't actually seen the movie in question, and bots who aren't even human. But Batman V Superman is a great film, and they should keep the Batman in question in The Batman and in all other live action Batman films for as long as possible. Thank you.
