Affleck-Bats

Warning: Commentary ahead.So it’s been more than a week, and this is still bothering me.Of course, it shouldn’t be, because “The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.” People are just doing what people do. But they’re being really silly about it.Also, before we start: I know that some of you have legitimate reasons to be concerned about Affleck on Batman. I don’t need to hear them all in the comments. I’m just exasperated by this one recurring comment that doesn’t seem to go away and frankly makes no sense.Yes, yes, “Daredevil” was trending immediately after Ben Affleck was announced as the next Batman, and everyone can understand why. But the fact that it’s been such a persistent (and one-note) commentary from opponents of his casting is an interesting little drama for me. Because, as the headline says, the thing that comes up in my head is, “Really? You think just the words “Daredevil” is enough to win the argument?”
