It's funny because I feel the same way that you do of Bale, about Jared Leto. So far the little I've seen of him as Joker, he seems to be going full ******, no subtly whatsoever, but I've barely seen anything from him so far, hopefully my opinion changes once I see more from him.
By the way, both movies you just listed are better than any performance from Affleck. What's Affleck's best performance? Good Will Hunting? The Town? It certainly can't be Argo, so what's his best performance?
Bale to me, is easily top 5 best actors working today.
Outside of Adam West, who wasn't a bad actor at all, I think Affleck is arguably the least talented live action Batman so far, acting wise. Maybe he's better than Clooney, I'm not sure, both of them don't have much range, but Clooney certainly has the better resume.
