On Thursday night Warner Bros announced that Ben Affleck had been cast as Batman and Twitter predictably exploded.
Most of the tweets seemed to contain a distinct anti-Affleck-as-Batman sentiment, but most of those in defense of the casting preached patience, citing a similar unsettling feeling when Michael Keaton was cast as Batman.
But what if Twitter existed when Keaton was first cast as Batman?
I think Ben will do just fine as the new caped crusader. But sadly, no matter how well he does, people will still refuse to give him credit. They’ll hold him to an unfair standard.
