When it was announced that Ben Affleck was going to play the caped crusader in the next Batman film you’d have thought Bruce Wayne just came out as a Nazi from the fan backlash. People literally lost their minds.

Chemical attacks kill hundreds of people in Syria, and nobody panics. Ben Affleck becomes Bat-Man and everyone just loses their minds.

Yes, Ben Affleck has commited some horrible crimes against cinema (the Daredevil and Gigli ghosts will forever haunt him) but this is 2013 Ben Affleck we’re talking about! Not 2003 Ben Affleck. 2013 Ben Affleck is responsible for movies like “The Town” and last year’s Oscar favorite “Argo.” Clearly, Ben knows he’s gonna be alright as he recently told Jimmy Fallon, “I handle sh*t.”
