To be honest, Ben was the last guy in the world that I ever would've imagined playing Batman simply because he even said it himself that he was done playing any superhero roles after daredevil, so it was a bit of a shock. However, i think he'll do a great job, and possibly even surpass Bale in the role.
As much as I loved the nolan batman movies, the big thing that wasn't present about batman's character was that he wasn't that much of a detective in the movies, and it always seemed like Bruce wayne was hiding something whenever he put on that playboy fascade. Granted, I know that's not Bale's fault because it was the way his character was written, but I do think that there's a possibility that Affleck might turn out to be the best batman that we've ever seen. I mean the guy is arguably one of the biggest batman fans ever, as he even modeled a part of his old house after the batcave shown on tv in the 60's.
Plus, I've been hearing that he's been working out like crazy since being cast, and I like the idea that he might have some influence on where the next film will go. I mean Zack Snyder is a very collaborative director, so it wouldn't surprise me if him and Affleck spit ball ideas off each other. I mean they already got the writer from Argo helping with the script, and even though i can't prove it, but I think Affleck might've had something with bringing him in. If anything, I think Affleck is going to surprise people as batman...providing the movie doesn't suck...
As far as Gal Gadot, I can't really comment on her because I'm not familiar with most of her work. I only saw one Fast and Furious film, and I don't even remember her being in it. Was she in Fast Five? If she was, then i guess i didn't notice her.
Although i do think fans that say she can't play wonder woman because of her height, lack of muscles and small breasts need to grow up. First of all, you can make anyone look like a giant or a midget in a film; regardless of how tall they are in real life. Look at the hobbit. You really think all those hobbits are that short in real life? No, they use trick photography, and they can always use heighteners in her shoes to give the audience the impression she's taller.
As for her lack of muscles, here's an easy answer...um she can work out, which im sure she probably is doing as we speak. As for the size of her breasts, well she can either stuff her bra full of tissue, or use a wonder bra. Or heck, she can do both if she wants, as any fan that uses that as a complaint on why she can't be wonder woman is an idiot that doesn't know what they're talking about.
However, one thing that does concern me about her is her acting ability, and whether she can carry a film. I mean let's face it. If she plays wonder woman, you know that wb is planning on using her for a future solo film, so the question is can her acting ability carry her own stand alone movie?
Like I said, I'm not familiar with her work, but I have heard that she's not that great of an actress; which bothers me because if she's not that great of an actress, then how can we expect her to carry her own film someday? That's the thing that worries me about her casting, but we'll have to wait and see. what about you? what do you make of those casting choices?
