65th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards - Arrivals

Ben Affleck as Batman…who would have thought it, but Ben will put on the cape in a sequel to the Man Of Steel and he join Superman (Henry Cavill) to fight crime according to Deadline. This will be Ben’s second chance at being a superhero…he was also Daredevil, which flopped, but at least he knows how to train because Ben is said to hit the gym two hours a day to prep for his role as Batman…he will probably up those hours as  filming get closer.

Director Zack Snyder talked about working with Ben… “Ben provides an interesting counterbalance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.”

Before I could only see Michael Keaton as Batman and the Christian Bale changed my mind…maybe Ben will change my mind again. What do you think of the casting?
