Now I can at least convince myself that they aren't treading on those good stories. Ben Affleck can ruin this if he wants to, I don't care.

Exactly what I thought after hearing this...after the numerous jokes about it to my friends of course.
It's not like Michal 'Mr Mom' Keaton is a guy I'd have cast as Batman back in '89, but that worked out just fine as well. I loved the Dark Knight trilogy to bits, and I'm glad that it's not being exhumed for this crossover.
As for Affleck, he was superb in Chasing Amy, one of my favourite movies of all time. Very different film from what this will be, of course, but I'm ok to give him a chance to prove himself as Batman all the same.
