Part of being a great actor is making people forget that they're not watching the real life person but a character. Heath Ledger wasn't Heath Ledger in his role: He was The Joker. Heath Ledger disappeared. Very few actors have that ability.
I thought Bale was "fine" as Bruce Wayne but the star of the trilogy was Christopher Nolan. I think there are more than a handful of people that were capable of doing what Bale did as Batman.
All that said, Affleck is Warner's superstar these days and rightfully so. He should have won the Oscar for best director for "Argo" and was a fine actor. The Warner Brothers brass *think* they have another Clint Eastwood in Affleck, so this move is unsurprising.
