DC fans are showing their appreciation for Ben Affleck's Batman today, as part of the "#ThanksBatfleck" social media campaign that was organized and launched by Batfleck fans. At the early hour of writing this, social media is already filling with photos and video clips that fans have either taken from Affleck's DC movie reel or created themselves. It's all happening with the genuine goal of just letting Affleck know that - no matter how things played out - he will always have love for his version of Batman. With Comic-Con 2020 (aka "Comic-Con At Home") now underway, this gracious sentiment from the fandom couldn't come at a better time.

Check out the love that Ben Affleck is getting from Batman fans:

It's not just Ben Affleck's Batman performance that needs to be acknowledged. Many fans also think he's the G.O.A.T. Bruce Wayne too!

Always Comic Accurate

@BenAffleck's portrayal of Batman was always comic accurate. 🦇#ThanksBatfleck @ZackSnyder pic.twitter.com/3ivTIXfk8v

These are just a few examples of how Affleck and Zack Snyder infused so many different Batman comic references into their Batfleck character.

The Poetry of Batfleck

There’s a radical dualism between the observed nature of man and man’s moral nature.

For fans that enjoyed it, Affleck's Batman v Superman performance was the deepest Batman character study yet - and it's why he's loved for it.

The Martha Moment Is Genius

Ben’s portrayal of PTSD in the Martha scene is exceptional and one of the reasons it works so well. I’ll never stop defending it. Most people don’t get it but this guy does... #ThanksBatfleck pic.twitter.com/yCTSKhdJlG

This fan is climbing up high on a hill that few fans will, and is apparently willing to die on it. Brave man.

You Are Not Alone

But it's not fear: it's the awe that Batfleck inspires!

Wish You Were Here

I said it before & I'll say again, your Batman is still the absolute best. I'm blessed to have seen such a great performance. I can't wait to see more of it in Zack's cut of JL. It'd be great if you came back for your own film but you have my support anyway. #ThanksBatfleck pic.twitter.com/Th8Atcukvq

We'll always wonder about what could have been, if Snyder's vision had played out better; if Affleck had written and directed his own Batman movie, as planned... But for now, bring on Zack Snyder's Justice League!

Feel The Love

Off to a good start... #ThanksBatfleck pic.twitter.com/XnDalxQmwF

Again, at the early hour of writing this, Ben Affleck is already getting mad Batman love.

Happy Comic-Con At Home everyone! Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition is now streaming on HBO Max!
