Ben Affleck is the new Batman
Ben Affleck is the new Batman
Trey Barrineau, USA TODAY 9:27 p.m. EDT August 22, 2013
He'll replace Christian Bale in the Batman-Superman movie planned for 2015.

Ben Affleck will replace Christian Bale in the Zack Snyder-directed Batman-Superman movie that's scheduled to be released in July 2015.

Warner Bros. made the announcement on Thursday.

From the press release announcing the casting:

"Ending weeks of speculation, Ben Affleck has been set to star as Batman, a.k.a. Bruce Wayne. Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder's as-yet-untitled project—bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director's vision of their universe, which he established in 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.

"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.

"In the announcement, Silverman stated, 'We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics' most enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some. His outstanding career is a testament to his talent and we know he and Zack will bring new dimension to the duality of this character.'

"Snyder also expressed his excitement about the casting of Affleck, noting, 'Ben provides an interesting counter-balance 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.'

"Kroll added, 'We are so thrilled that Ben is continuing Warner Bros.' remarkable legacy with the character of Batman. He is a tremendously gifted actor who will make this role his own in this already much-anticipated pairing of these two beloved heroes.'

Affleck has previous experience as a superhero -- he played Daredevil in the 2003 film of the same name.

The prospects of following Horace Greeley's advice seem more and more promising every day Dane.

Bale played a great rich bastard in Shaft.

That said, mentioning the movie reminded me of one of John Oliver's BEST jokes on The Daily Show, calling Anthony Weiner 'Tighty Whitey Bulger.'
For the sake of clarity--the film itself is actually pretty good. It's just good and overrated.

I'm deeply upset at this. So wish Bale would have returned as Batman.

But ****ing Ben Affleck?

Hey the might as well trot out an Aquaman movie starring Adrian Grenier...because this move is on that level of stupid/FAIL.
And CoMo writes Affleck's Oscar speech two years in advance.

Blake Lively is in my Top Five. She's a combination of a dirty white trash hot chick and an elegant beauty.

Ryan Reynolds got it right this time.
She was awesome in Savages, which surprisingly, was good

Not this. It got the Oscar because the previous year they screwed him with Gangs of New York.

It's usually different a shade of John Hamm.

And Max Martini, who is popping up in more stuff. I liked the Unit for many reasons, including David Mamet. But it got a little much for me when Robert Patrick shtooped one of the wives.

Tiffi, Martini's 'Gerhardt's' wife.

Reason I asked Dane is b/c John Hamm was the first guy, the civilian, Tiffi cheated with.

I never actually saw Gangs, but I was under the impression that it was generally considered a notch below Goodfellas and Taxi Driver.

I saw a few episodes, with Robert Patrick, IIRC, but no John Hamm.

Are you asking because he wasn't "John Hamm" in that show or just curious?
