Then again everyone thought Heath Ledger was going to make a bad Joker yet he was spectacular, same with Anne Hathaway and Catwoman to a lesser extent.

True, but Ben Affleck has previous form being terrible in the role of a superhero, and he's so hit or miss with his acting it's unbelievable. For the few smattering of great performances he's delivered over the years, he's churned out some real duds. Honestly, before Argo was a success, he was all but forgotten in Hollywood, when was the last time anyone looked forward to or praised a Ben Affleck movie? Pearl Harbour? I dunno... he could be fantastic in the role, but previous form suggests he won't be.

it is widely accepted that Pearl Harbor was a terrible, schmalzy bag of nonsense
