I think whenever people say they don't like Ben Affleck's Batman they are talking about the writing rather than Ben Affleck himself, it's kinda like Henry Cavill as Superman they don't dislike Cavill they just hate the writing.

[@inyourelilsistersass5554]

They got the look right but everything else was so garbage that who cares if they got the looks right look at everything else I hate Zack Snyder take on DC he was the wrong choice

[@tylerbertram7065]

@inyourelilsistersass5554 I agree Zack Snyder was a terrible choice for DC, he has come out and said that he hates superhero comics only liking stuff like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns. But Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill weren't bad choices they were clearly trying to make this godawful material work, I'm hoping in the near future they can come back and play Batman and Superman again with better material.

[@prixodiydacha8114]

​@@tylerbertram7065 it is why I worried about rebel moon story Zack Snyder is visionar he needs a something like David Goyer to cooperate

[@BengaloFFM]

@@tylerbertram7065 I really loved JL Snyder Cutm MoS and BvS UE. Snyder tells his stories visually and he likes to show iconic comic book pages come to life. The thing is the external editing and cutting of these movies. They got dumped down. BvS especially. Major scenes for the plot got cut. The casting Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman was great.

[@joemax4]

Loved the idea of a “broken” Batman. One who lost his way as alluded to by Alfred a few times. We’re led to believe that he didn’t always kill, and wasn’t always such a loose cannon, but 20 years of broken promises, losses, and betrayals made him into the Batman we saw in BvS. I agree it was the material that let Ben down, but the biggest issue is he didn’t get a solo movie before BvS. Imagine seeing a solo film where Robin is alive and is Batman’s last thread to his moral codes. We see Robin killed by the Joker in the climax and Batman looses it. Then in the post credits scene we see the opening of BvS with Bruce running through the Metropolis wreckage. That would have set the audience up for a better understanding of where this Batman is at come BvS , and would give characters like Gordon more screen time.

[@ryankeefe2102]

I'd have the murder of Robin be like the cold open of bens solo batman movie I'd have it take place after man of steel but before BVS have deathstroke as the villain etc but I'd have it be more a character study of a broken batman then the post credit I'd have him watching footage of Superman

[@dcworld4349]

@@ryankeefe2102 Some people would have been mad, but Robin getting killed by Deathstroke would have set the tone and also made his death and Bruce's head space make a bit more sense. Because why would this Batman not have killed the Joker after he killed Dick Grayson, when he has zero problems with killing. In BvS he stops himself from killing Superman with the intention being that he was realizing that he was becoming just like Joe Chill by breaking his no kill rule. Yet minutes afterwards he kills at least half of the people in that warehouse. It's not that I can't accept that you have a Batman who doesn't have the no kill rule, The Batman is actually the first live-action version in modern times that establishes that he never goes that far. The problem however is, it makes no sense why he would let the Joker live in this universe. Or why was it okay to kill a bunch of Lex's thugs, but not Lex himself? I know Snyder's argument is he won't go out of his way to kill people, it's more that he accepts that collateral damage during a fight including death is part of the job, a sort of cop or solider mentality to being in a combat scenario. Yet he's got a guy nailed to a wall at the end of the fight and it's implied he kills him for stabbing him. Then instead of shooting KBG's hands like what happens in the dark knight returns, he shoots the tank and blows up the room. And I am saying all this as a huge Batfleck fan who while I really do love The Batman, the biggest disappointment is that we are never going to get the Batman VS Deathstroke movie. When written at his best, he's the closest we have gotten to Bat-god, the man who you understand why even though he's not the leader of the Justice League, everyone looks for him to strategize in battle. Often to find out he has given himself one of the hardest jobs in secret. Still holding out hope that one day DC decides to let them do it as an animated movie, maybe even finish out the original plans for the Justice League. The normal budget for the movies they are making now is about 5 million from what I've heard, give it 10 million and there are enough Snyderverse fans to make a small profit from doing it.

[@DanielTorres-pw8il]

Gunn is making the same mistake. His Batman already has a son. His Superman will have an established universe with his characters already.

[@dcworld4349]

@@DanielTorres-pw8il Are you seriously suggesting that people need an origin movie for Batman and Superman? Even people who haven't seen the movies, shows or even read the comics knows the basic origin. People barley want origin movies for characters that they know nothing about because the formula became too repetitive. So they have started to find clever ways of starting their stories in the second act of their life. With some origin sprinkles to get you caught up. The DCU is going to have to eat crow no matter what for it's first phase in terms of box office. It won't be until they show that they can release quality movies and shows in a row for the first part of the Gods and Monsters act that they will actually start to hit the respectable 700-800 million dollar range maybe by the end of it. Brave and Bold might hit 700 dollars but that is just because it's Batman. And I say this as a hardcore DC fanboy who have enjoyed a lot of what DC has done in the last 10 years. But recognize that they fumbled the ball in a way I didn't think could be possible considering all they had to do was slam dunk inside a hoop that was the same height as a toddler.

Ben Affleck is aesthetically the best Batman ever put on screen, in and out of costume. He physically looks the part more than any other actor who’s ever took on the role, and on top of that, he’s a damn good actor. He has moments of brilliance in otherwise awful movies. With better material, he’s easily the best live action Batman.

[@pilsatortube]

he is perfect Batman casting! it doesnt get any more comic accurate! Absolutely in a league of his own!

[@mycahjofficial]

*Ben Affleck is a pretty damn good actor. His performance as the cape crusader was fine for the most part, but the problem that his character was so horribly written. It also didn’t help the fact that Warner Bros. completely rushed him in the DCEU universe without taking the time to properly tell his story.*

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

You nailed it. He was perfect for the role in terms of his acting ability and his look, both as Bruce Wayne and in the bat suit, its just a shame that none of that mattered if the script wasn't up to par, and the ones he was given rarely were.

[@ryanstoick601]

Ben Affleck is the most comics-accueatw Batman as far as visually, and he had a very layered and interesting take. Frank Miller 's Batman on screen. I LOVED it. And personally, I consider him to be the best live-action Batman. (And so did Kevin Conroy.)

[@josefhorndl3469]

Totally agree! As teenager back in the seventies my favourite Batman in comics was drawn by legend Neal Adams. And what did we get in Movie? Tiny and stiff Michael Keaton! Frank Miller's Dark Knight! We get Val Kilmer and George Clooney! C'mon!!! And then: Nolan trilogy with great Chris Bale. But the best was yet to come: Batfleck. Best Batman incarnation on the big screen, we old fans have ever seen. But that's all my personal opinion - of course :)

When I first saw Ben Affleck as batman I loved it I loved how older her was he wasn't trying to be Micheal Keaton or Val Kilmer he was doing what he does best despite being old. His version was a much older Batman who has seen some bad things I picture him taking on Bane or Killer Kroc.

[@MrKingvenom77]

I also felt that the Bruce/Barry relationship felt very reminiscent of Tony and Peter

[@__Faust__]

He is easily top 3 with Bale and Keaton. He is the most comic book-accurate Batman, brooding, intimidating, violent, dark and an excellent Bruce Wayne. What else is he supposed to do, crack jokes? Go campy? ZSJL and BvS are great dark movies. I don't get how anyone can be on the fence regarding Affleck as Batman. He nailed it.

[@umairashraf5167]

I don't like how he looks,too bulky, giant forehead, tiny ears,giant bat symbol

[@randot6675]

Snyder gave him a very shallow portrayal. I usually don't like referring to other videos, but The Closer Look gave by far the most comprehensive break down on what was wrong with Snyder's Batman: he doesn't exude enough of Batman's best characteristics to justify the character as Batman, appearance not withstanding. His compassion and intellect (like holy shit how do you fuck this up) just didn't receive enough justice, even though they're such integral parts ti his character. Then of course, Snyder's complete disregard for his moral code. Look, you can make your own version of grimdark edgelord Batman and have it work, but you need a damn good fucking reason beyond "muh realism muh edgy tone". Frank Miller's Batman stories worked because he handled this aspect of the Bat with the gravitas and respect it deserved: if you're going to make Batman kill someone, make it fucking matter. Don't just say "dude he went through sone shit bro" and have him mow down droves of petty criminals just to look cool, you need show the audience the justification for getting him to that point. Literally one of the most important rules to good fiction is "show, don't tell".

[@serdastrevas4114]

Zack Snyder wanted to tell the story of a Batman unlike everyone else before him. A Batman who fell so low after 20 years in Gotham that became cruel and relentless. The whole story of Batman is a hero again for the sacrifice of Superman.

[@K3Ddesignstudio]

Exactly! People seem to forget that very quickly. His story is 20 years down the road and killing for a reason. Don't get why that seems to go over people's heads or just want to ignore that fact and complain about killing or a bad script.

[@ventsislavstefanov9590]

Batman does not kill people, I don't care how low he got. I don't care if the Joker sliced Robin's throat in front of him. He does NOT kill, period. Unless Snyder wanted to tell an Elseworlds story. The same with Superman. If he acknowledges that these aren't the canon version of the characters and he's making his own interpretations, then it's okay. That's why Injustice works so well. People know that's not canon, just another alternate timeline. Have as much fun as you want to tell these stories, no problem.

[@jordanmitchell380]

​@@ventsislavstefanov9590 Plus, he has so much off screen development and we're expected to accept and care about this version of him without even getting to know him. Since he's late in his time as Batman.

[@christianglass9139]

How come people are so anal about Ben killing when every other fucking Batman has killed besides Bale and the new one and its inherently not canon to the no killing Batman from the comics because it's a movie not everything has to be comic accurate

[@serdastrevas4114]

Batman Ben Affleck became more violent after his partner Robin's death. Every batman in movies killed. Also, Batman (Ben Affleck) stopped killing at the end of Batman V Superman. The message of his arc is he becoming a hero again due to Superman's sacrifice.

[@AZRockslide42]

"I failed him in his life. I will not fail him in his death." It was the fact that an alien was willing to sacrifice his life to save the world that reminds Bruce why he started doing this in the first place. It's why he makes the comment to Alfred that, for the first time in his life, he is going on faith. This shows comment was really meant to cement the fact he was not the same Bruce we saw through most of BvS. I will agree that Josstice league handled his change poorly, but you cannot put any on that on Ben. It's clear when you watch both versions that he really enjoyed being Zack's Batman. Joss... not so much.

[@martinwinter4209]

I believe the confusion that befell on Batfleck is the fact that the character starts out an an antagonist in BVS, then in Justice League starts the path of redemption. A very different take on the character.

[@matthewrosenthal753]

No redemption for this version of Batman in either version of Justice League. As the so called nightmare future is entirely his fault. Because he is a duchebag that has to be right. By appearance perfection by actual character a total disaster.

@@matthewrosenthal753 well that is another point. Batfleck's arc is incomplete - after all we never got to see Affleck's The Batman or Justice League 2 & 3, which would've shown more development. Sadly, it awkward situation for this incarnation of Batman with no end or resolution.

[@lsthereanysense]

Think maybe he's recovering his compassion. I look at it as after Robins death, he stopped pulling his punches and became nihilistic due to losing faith in the mission. Through interacting with Clark, Dianna and Arthur, he rediscovers that faith in his original mission. Just my theory

[@chriswilliams8159]

Ben Affleck's portrayal of the character, I think, was by far the most peculiar version we got to see on screen, especially the one in BVS. His version does a great job in depicting how he has become morally corrupt after being able to make no difference whatsoever even after fighting crime for the past 20 years and has witnessed how everyone eventually becomes corrupt. The life of Batman has become nothing more than a mission that needs to be completed and he has allowed it to consume him almost entirely, a true hollow shell. More than using the cape and cowl to fight for justice, he uses it to blow off some steam because he's gotten addicted to beating the crap out of criminals, something that he truly seems to enjoy. He has hit rock bottom, hence the disregard for the life of thugs he fights. Poor character writing and messy script didn't do justice to the best Batman that never was.

What i do love about Affleck's version of Bruce Wayne it can loosly tie in to old man Bruce in Batman Beyond where he becomes a bit more of a bitter broken man who for the most part is all alone in his senior days as he pretty much pushed everyone he cared about away for the "good". It's a rather tragic character

[@Nick-4K]

Now that you mention it. He actually might be my favorite. But I also love the snyderverse. Which I know some people don't.

[@mattcalloway8936]

For me he was the best Live Action Batman ever. What people forget is this is a Batman who has been the Dark Knight for 20 years and having gone through a lot of trauma and issues. He feels brutal like the Arkham Batman and sometimes even pulls off the poses and moves that Batman does in the comics and the Arkham Games. He has the best Batman Suit and was jacked. His combat ability is the best we’ve seen. He looks and feels like a Batman that is a master hand to hand to combatant. But he’s also flexible and moves like a superhuman, which helps to paint the idea of Batman being a supernatural creature that criminals fear. Yes he killed, but he’s not praised in universe for that. Which is exactly why he was treated as a murderous vigilante. But when he met Superman, he was inspired and became a better Batman (represented by how we see him working with the GCPD). He was unfortunately too old for a Batman starting the Justice League and starting a DC universe. But he was a brilliant adaptation of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. He wasn’t perfect, but he is the best Live Action representation of the Batman of the comics.

[@GalaxyOfBoltz]

[@MYJEWISHLAMPSHADES]

Best.

[@CronksNewBrothel]

Batfleck IS THE GREATEST BATMAN

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Meh people just like him cause of the fight scenes

[@CronksNewBrothel]

@@MILDMONSTER1234 no not just that, he ACTUALLY looks like Batman and Bruce Wayne, don’t act like it’s not true either

[@imaddictedtostarwars3949]

i love ben affleck as batman

[@GetAwayFroMe]

To be fair he did tell dead shot “I don’t want to do this in front of your daughter”

[@randallflagg3700]

Nice video, IMHO Batfleck deserved a solo movie, even if I adored Battinson's "The Batman" I still wish get had gotten at least one Batfleck... the Deathstroke story was promising, and Slade looked badass. It could have also given Joker a chance to have a more flattering DCEU legacy than a butchered, messy cut of poor Ayer's Suicide Squad, and _one_ good scene in JL Snyder's cut. Based on that scene, I wish we could have seen more of Leto's Joker; just get rid of the face tattoos, he can keep the others but just like in his last scene in JL, just remove the ones on his face and I'm actually good with his design. Somewhat. Anyway, just a nitpick, but about Aquaman using Bruce's name in public... Hasn't it been established in the tavern scene that most of them don't understand English? Which is weird IRL, since almost everyone speaks English in Iceland, but well, it's a very remote village full of old timers, so it's believable that they don't interact with strangers often, and wouldn't have the need to speak English to do business or to welcome tourists, and it's the Earth from DC where countries like Kahndag and Vlatava exist, so other countries are slightly different. Plus, they're past the age of learning English via shitposting on 4chan, and binging a bunch of HBO shows (And sure, the name "Bruce Wayne" sounds the same no matter where you're from, but it's much harder to catch names when you're tuning your brain to "gibberish" instead of hearing it in a context that makes sense) And JK Simmons as Jim Gordon is in my top 3 reasons why I'm still bitter about *Batgirl* being cancelled. He is probably in a bunch of scenes, since his daughter is in the name of the movie... (and sure, Brendan Fraser as Firefly probably kicks ass... and reason 3, Killer Moth makes his second live action appearance in that film, and we can't watch it... dang it. It will eventually leak I suppose, but meanwhile I shall complain ) Keep up the good work, Vee!

Nice essay. I agree with pretty much all of it. Well argued and well presented. Thank you. I actually liked a lot of what Ben Affleck did both as Batman and Bruce Wayne. But like you, I agree that it was extremely under developed. It's like a good sketch, but not a finished inked comic book.

[@howlinberry1645]

He was an awesome Batman

[@Adam_X78]

You’re right

[@ThePunkLoserAlcoholic6]

All he needed was his solo movie

[@KonEl17]

Had we gotten a standalone Bats film yeh we'd have Gordon and Alfred relationship but he never got that movie.

[@Blondie472]

I ❤️ Batfleck Closest to the Animated Series, which is closest to my ❤️ I ❤️ Conroy too

[@mirtaabreu7124]

2:02 Ben's bat suit is basically the suit from the Dark Knight Returns comic by Frank Miller which is the reason why this version of Bats is so bulky, has smaller ears and a big bat symbol, hell he even does one of the iconic poses from said comic near the end of BvS when he's avoiding Doomsday's heat vision.

[@gerardolopez9368]

Batfleck!!!❤

[@secondsidefilms4473]

I’ve always loved Ben’s Batman, partially because of how he looks. But also because he feels so different to any other version of the character. I view him as an alternate universe Batman, and it really works

[@Chris-qo4rt]

Affleck is my favorite Batman since Keaton

[@JJMcSkoozie222]

Couldn't agree more. Ben Affleck is my favorite batman, because of what he could be not what he was

[@americantrash593]

His suit was the best we've seen! His Bruce was good, and his batman was good. He we've been the best if he got used correctly, and got some solo movies.

[@danieldenis9586]

The BEST BATMAN

[@soysaucefool]

Comic fans were obnoxious back in 89 too, they hated Keaton as batman

[@comment_deleted]

Best Batman. His fight scenes are fkng brutal

[@Garrettsamuel98]

Wait a minute Vee, Batman didn't beat the hell out of Deadshot lol. They wrestled around a bit, & Batman even said "I Don't Want To Do This In Front Of Ur Daughter"

[@TheEdorizo]

I do totally agree with you that he never uses a gun because of what happened to his parents and you are right about his Cowell he never took it off the brother Justice League like many years later as you said

[@darkman4747]

Not the BEST or the worst, he had arguably the BEST costume and ONE great fight scene. That's It.

[@tmoore2010]

Batfleck played an excellent Batman/ Bruce Wayne. He was tough enough to exist in the world of Apokalips. He was complex enough to work through all the bad things Batman/ Bruce endured.

[@LR316]

There was a point when I hated him then I really came around and accepted his performance & I now like what he brought to the table. There is one scene where he is using the computer and wonder woman toutches his hand and it makes for an awkward moment at first I thought this isnt batman but it's things like this why I actually like his batman

[@ryanhau1073]

If your next Video is going to be about Ezra Miller as the Flash, that would be a pretty loaded topic seeing a lot of would have a hard time separating the role from the actor

[@johnsonartchive8826]

I like his main batsuit the best, with the exception of his logo.

[@cvzanikos1]

best

[@mikferrer8505]

best live-action Batman!!!!!
