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.

Doesn't have the presence of Eastwood, or the chops of Bale. He's fine when he isn't having to carry the whole thing.
