It's hard to build a Cinematic Universe when you only have one film that counts in it, with three of your other commercially successful films arbitrarily not counting because you recast the main role with an actor mainly known for Kevin Smith comedy films and failing disastrously in a film with his former girlfriend.

Why is it whenever Ben Affleck comes up in these circles, people act like he fell into a coma after Gigli and only came out of it when he was cast in the new movie?

Because his only good acting performances, other than when Kevin Smith is directing him, seem to come in films where he is the director or writer as well as the star. It's pretty much the Law of Ben Affleck. And he is not directing or scripting this one, which given his track record may well be disastrous. Here's a helpful handy annotated chart which explains what I'm on about.

Hollywoodland was an exception. And he was Superman in that one...

Final Fantasy, Foreign Policy, and Bollywood. Helluva combo, that...

DC may be handling the creation of its DCCU poorly (mainly due to an extreme lack of patience), but it's no reason to believe Disney will buy out Time Warner.

If TW is doing well in other areas, they're not vulnerable.

Because detractors typically only have Small Reference Pools.

Oh, right. I forgot that the kinds of people who pan casting choices like this don't go out and watch movies like Argo.
