I would too! But i would still make adjustments 
If you look at the characterization, it's completely off. There's enough there from Affleck as a performer to feel like it's Bruce. I would say his first scene in Metropolis feels like Bruce Wayne/Batman to me. When that scene was over, i was getting a really good feeling about how he would be used. For some reason i blocked out the trailers. Next thing i know he's branding people, he's killing people like it's no big deal and they're only bringing up the branding like that's the only change in this guy. Like the branding was the thing that was making him cruel. Then Bruce starts acting like an extreme right-wing moron. By this point the visuals went from good to a bit overdone for my tastes, and the plotholes were starting to become noticeable in almost every scene. This was barely halfway into the movie. To cut this short (er), the rest of it went completely off the rails despite some cool shots of the batcave and some cool fighting in that warehouse.
Bale's version is still the closest thing to the Batman i know and grew up with.
With that said, im no dummy. Im not going to be a Nolanite as they say. There's room for improvement and i believe if Affleck doesn't do it in 2/3 years, there will be a reboot in 8 to 10 years from now where they will get it right. When i say right, i mean a perfect blend of comic booky visuals, good characterization and a balanced tone. Any time the visuals seem to be comic booky in the movies, the characterization is always off the mark. It's frustrating. At that point we don't know if it will be perfect but then some b.s happens like a bad director or bad casting. Gothic horror for the sake of shocking people..whatever. It wouldn't surprise me is what i'm saying. But i have hope that we'll see the greatest Batman interpretation ever.
So right now, Nolan's trilogy is it for me. It's at the top of the mountain. Not trying to take too much away from some of those Burton/Shumacher movies either cuz they can be fun, but that's how i feel.
If we're talking aesthetics (one of Snyder's favorite words in the english dictionary), then you can say Batfleck is more accurate. If you want to look at that chin of his, his size, the suit, the fighting. No problem. I would be more than happy to see a solo Batfleck film where he can combine those visuals with better writing that suits the character more. But as of now the only thing that's accurate are some of the visuals on the Batman side of things.
