“Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne,” Snyder said in a statement. “I can’t wait to work with him.”

I don't really see Affleck as a guy who can play the "scars of a seasoned crime fighter". He doesn't strike me as someone who plays a character with a dark side all that well. Even in "The Town", he was more the good guy who'd done some bad things. He definitely seems more like a Superman than a Batman.
