I've tried to be as objective as I can. But at the end of the day, I will always have a preference. In my case, the preference for the Christian Bale movies is because he was able to tell a compelling Batman story with The Dark Knight Trilogy, which is probably the best superhero movie trilogy of all time. Ben Affleck didn't have that chance.

I was still able to enjoy some aspects of Ben Affleck's Batman, though. And for a time, I was even excited for a possible Batfleck standalone movie, but since that has been canceled, I'll never know if Ben Affleck was the best Batman that almost was.
