maybe it didn't. RDJ is Tony Stark. He was born for that role. Just like Reynolds was born to play Deadpool. Now, Affleck may not have been born to play Batman, but he did a good job IMO. I just feel like swapping the actor mid story will have the same effect as if RDJ or Reynolds were swapped for someone else.

So that equals the same number of films that Bale played Batman. recast and move on. They need a younger version of him going forward anyway.

I upvoted your post but I do not think Affleck's Batman was the reason BvS failed

Affleck was fine. It was the convoluted script and crap CGI that failed BvS

Affleck was the best part, and I wouldn't say it was terrible. It was mediocre. The Batman vs Superman portion of the movie was very well done. They should have made the movie just about them two, and it would have been pretty good.

As said, though, Batman can be fine without Affleck.

how are you guys okay with replacing the actor of a main character within the same story line?

Because Affleck didn't bring anything special to the role. I don't care if they replace him, especially if we get someone better.

Please. Please don't make us rehash how terrible than entire relationship was from character development to stupid plot devices. Please

Because the DCEU as a whole is a shite show and not one actor in that universe so owned a role that they are irreplaceable.

I wouldn't consider it a "good thing", but they could certainly manage better than marvel because they have many avenues to replace Batman in the same universe without just replacing the actor and acting like nothing happened

Bruce is old in the DCMU, so if he wanted to get out, they could easily transition to a younger Batman (Batman Beyond, or a robin character taking the mantle) Or you could replace the character with Nightwing

There's supposedly a rumor that recasting is being looked into already because it's common knowledge Affleck is on his way out. They're seriously looking at this guy:
