Affleck is Batman!

This morning we wake up to news that Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman opposite Henry Cavill's Superman in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel follow-up, Batman vs Superman.Affleck isn't a stranger to the superhero genre having previously taken the lead in the so-so Daredevil; let's hope his take on the Bat doesn't disappoint given Christian Bale's superlative performance in the Dark Knight trilogy. A new Batman so soon after that is a gamble that we hope pays off.
