I see people hating on Ben Affleck's batman when I found it was enjoyable in BvS. Justice League is a different story cuz Joss Whedon wanted to make a super quippy Batman that felt out of place but we cant really put that on Ben Affleck for how his character was written.

It wasn't really the fact that it was Ben Affleck. It was more the way Batman was portrayed as. Batman is known for being the vigilante who occasionally crosses lines the morally good guys never do or can't, but whatever he does, Batman doesn't kill and doesn't use guns. The few times something like that happened, there was a huge emphasis on the weight of what just happened, that even Batman crossed a certain line.

Batman in Dawn of Justice seemed to have completely disregarded that and goes on a violent gunning spree like it's just another day at work.

Everyone loved the warehouse scene and thought it was awesome... until they realized that Batman killed more than half the combatants. This Batman has no "no kill" policy.

And I gotta say, making Batman crack jokes in JL was not the best way to go. I get that Whedon is probably to blame for this to lessen the overly dark tone of the DCEU, but Flash and Aquaman could handle the gag roles just fine.

You mean like Christian Bale did in TDKR?

Every live action version of Batman has killed people (even Adam West).

Batfleck is the best live action Batman we've ever got. He'd also kick the kick the shit out of every live action Batman. Christian Bale Batman would get beaten like a child by Batfleck.

The writer and director.

Affleck himself wasn't bad in the role at all

Talia Al Guhl and countless thugs when he literally shot them with high impact explosives from his helicopter tank.

Nothing. Ben Affleck was the best Batman and best Bruce Wayne.

Christian Bale could have really used that voice machine Batfleck uses.

Most of the hate isn't aimed at Afleck.

To be fair here that wasn't until the third movie which was a desperate last ditch effort to stop an entire city from blowing up and he is never Batman again afterwards.

BvS Batman gunned down and blew up thugs to save an old lady.

He's not a marvel character and Disney buys Russians to shape the narrative
