It's official! Ben Affleck has been cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman in Zack Snyder's still untitled Batman/Superman sequel to this past summer's Man of Steel. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. The studio has slated the film to open worldwide on July 17, 2015.
Last month’s surprise announcement of the new movie featuring both Superman and Batman created a wave of excitement and immediately fueled discussion and debate—among fans as well as in the media—about who would put on the cape and cowl of Bruce Wayne’s alter ego.
Snyder successfully re-imagined the origin of Clark Kent/Superman in the worldwide blockbuster “Man of Steel,” which has earned more than $650 million worldwide to date, and climbing. The director will now create an original vision of Batman and his world for the film that brings the two DC Comics icons together. Affleck will star opposite Henry Cavill, who will reprise the role of Superman/Clark Kent. The film will also reunite Man of Steel stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

still untitled Batman
Working Title - Batman! (We know but you idiots keep buying tickets).
Christian Bale turned down 50 million to be Batman again. Unreal.
Bale.
batmans new move...
the kiss of death
Yeah, well, I grew up with Adam West...
Christian Bale own’s that role.
A milquetoast like Affleck?
That’s like giving it to Michael Keaton.
Thank you. I had forgotten. That was a good show.
Hmm. Looks like he’s been busy.
Ewww. I say this as a woman. Afleck is a girlieman.
Yeah, I had no idea. The last movie I saw him in was The Other Guys(2010).
I give Bale props for turning it down. There’s only so long an actor can play a role and he played Batman for ten years.
‘Gigli’ with wings, and it still won’t fly.
You just described 98% of the available Hollywood talent pool.
RoboCop remake. They have completely run out of ideas.
I have not seen Man of Steel,is it any good?
I really liked the Batman trilogy.
Can this be as good as Argo? We shall see.

I think they should give it to obama.
