He certainly won't be near as good as Bale. But after Bale, the bar is pretty low. Sadly, very few actors can portray both aspects of the character well. Keaton could do the Bat, which is surprising considering his comedic nature, but couldn't really do Bruce. Kilmer could do Bruce, but not really the Bat. Same with Clooney, who was literally just George Clooney in a suit. And Adam West... well the less said about him the better.
Bale is the only live action actor to play both parts well.
Conroy (animated voice) is the gold standard IMHO though.
I think Affleck will come in somewhere around the Kilmer portrayal. I hope I'm wrong though. I hope he ends up shocking and delighting and kicking the roles ass.
