When did this Ben Affleck Batman tragedy begin? Alex Zalben has a pretty good timeline of Affleck's interaction with superhero roles here but it leaves out a few things, such as Affleck's breakout role as "Holden" the aspiring comics artist in Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy.

DC is in a weird place right now. You can practically watch the publisher's retail and talent relations take a nose-dive on the Internet. Just last week, retailers Brian Hibbs and Leo McGovern called DC out on its handling of a line-wide publishing stunt in August; a "head of DC Comics" was quoted as admitting that his target audience are "45-year-olds"; popular artist Kevin Maguire announced on Twitter that he'd been "just fired" from an upcoming DC title, asked for work -- and was hired, lickety-split, by a gleeful Marvel editor in chief a few hours later; and the brave souls who read the actual comics that somehow still get made, published and sold in this environment conclude that everything kinda reads the same at DC.
