The difference is Ledger hadn't already poorly played a maniacal madman, and Cruise hadn't already poorly played a sensual vampire, before those two parts. Ben Affleck played Daredevil - who is fundamentally the same type of brooding, dimly-lit antihero as Batman - and he was
completely wrong for the part. Batman is an emotional trainwreck masquerading as a carefree billionaire playboy, and Ben Affleck has never been able to convey that kind of damaged psyche in any role I've seen him in.
The Town is probably the closest he's done to it, and even there he was just torn, not really edge-of-sanity damaged.
Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
