Heh, I'm old enough to remember the blood curdling screams that arose from general comic book fandom when they heard Michael Keaton was going to be Batman in the film that was released in '89... I'm not overly impressed with Ben Affleck's acting, since he seems to almost always play the same basic role, in most of the movies I've seen with him in it. Then again, I've seen a lot of worse actors. (Why, oh why didn't they choose Nicholas Cage???) GRIN!!! Of course, perhaps they envision Bruce Wayne to be as blind as a bat in this version.
