I feel bad for the guy, seeing the entire internet piling on him about this.
He wouldn't be my first choice (I'd go for Karl Urban, after seeing Dredd), but I think he'll do a good job. Don't base his acting on his shitty movie phase (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Gigli, etc). In recent years he's been on a great run both as an actor and director, with The Town, Argo, and Hollywoodland (where ironically he played the guy who played Superman on TV).
He wasn't even that bad in Daredevil - it was the script and the direction that mostly sucked.
Plus it's not unknown for someone to play multiple heroes - Chris Evans was Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four (which sucked, but he was good), and then Captain America after that (might make a future FF/Avengers crossover tough - at least Affleck is going from Marvel to DC...)
