Look, we don’t mean to pile on. We understand a lot of people worked very hard on these movies.But sometimes you just look at an actor being cast in a role and you say to yourself, “Okay, so not only is this person wrong for the role, but the process by which they appear to have been chosen is just lazy and absurd.”Some fans have accused Warner Bros. of doing this in casting Ben Affleck as Batman. “They’re going for box office!” claim detractors who ignore the fact that Affleck’s biggest draw these days is not as a blockbuster actor.

They shouldn’t ever have been made. And you’ll see why in a minute.
