If affleck's out they need to cancel the whole deal. He's easily the strongest pillar of the whole thing, we all thought he was fantastic as batman. He walks, the EU needs to be rebooted.

Hmm...new Batman? Does this mean a reboot?
Can we have a new origin story and watch his parents get shot again? That's what we all really want, right?
I want someone to finally give Batman a real reason to be Batman. The dead parents thing is fine and all for beginning his career, but continuing it? C'mon, you need something better than that.
you gotta realize comics is all 2nd act. thats why Batman works. because we never get to the logical closeur point where he stops being Batman.
Thats part of the reason I liked TDK Trilogy so much, it ends with him not only hanging up the cowl, but actually finding a way to finally be happy again. Because that's all Batman is, an unhappy person. Thats his core conflict. and theres only two ways his story ends, either he gets killed being batman or he finally meets a woman and realizes "Hey... I don't have to keep throwing myself in harms way in order to deal anymore."
In short, I think Kevin Smith pointed out the best. Dick Grayson can grow up, have a girlfriend and still fight crime. Batman can't.
