Could comic book nerds explain something to me: How is there even a "VS" re: Batman/Superman. Superman has SUPERPOWERS;Batman does not.

This is hardly an original opinion but I think casting can make or break a film. This means you should never, ever cast Keanu Reeves in a historical drama. It also means you should never ever cast Ben Affleck in the role of Batman. I’ve seen him utter one line in Batman vs. Superman and I’m already Rifftraxing him in my head. He is…a horrible choice to play Batman. I just…don’t even, as the kids don’t say anymore.

In fact, I'm fairly certain Affleck's Batman will have only one superpower: making me hate Batman.

So here’s my question: If not Bale (the best Batman, obviously), who should play Batman? Ideas?
