I don't see Ben Affleck as Batman being a big deal at all. He's not been in a ton of movies that I care for, but the movies I HAVE seen him in have not done anything to make me think he CAN'T be a decent Batman. He's about the right age with the right look to reasonably be Batman and Bruce Wayne. It's not like they cast someone who is just totally unrealistic to even portray the Batman character. They're not casting Betty White as Batman or something.
It's been quite some time since I've seen him in anything but I don't remember ever thinking, "geez, this guy is one terrible actor." He might not be the best actor ever, but I would argue that's not really necessary to portray a decent Batman... You definately need someone who is capable of acting, but they don't have to be Cary Grant either.
