It's been reported, and I guess made official, that Ben Affleck is the new Batman and will star in the sequel to Man of Steel. I like Ben Affleck, I thought he was okay as Daredevil and I thought he did a great job playing George Reeves in Hollywoodland. I think that Affleck is not really the guy for the Batman role. Affleck just isn't that brooding, even when he did Daredevil it seemed like he was forcing his tortured portion. I am also assuming he got some advice from George Clooney and that advice was probably dispensed over drinks in a hot tub with Danny DeVito. I assume the conversation went like this:
Clooney: So they finally found someone worthy of my role.
Affleck: Yeah, wicked awesome.
Clooney: You have a challenge ahead of you, my nipple Batman was incredible.
Affleck: Irregardless I will be be the man.
Clooney: Who will be Superman?
Affleck: That Henry bastard, he's wicked good.
Clooney: Who will be Alfred?
Affleck: Either Mel Gibson or Bob Saget.
DeVito: Hey fuckers Rhea can be a great Catwoman.
Clooney: Remember the suits must always have nipples. Any word on Matt?
Affleck: He may play the part of The Demon.
Clooney: Hahahah, fantastic.
I'm sure that's not really what happened but when you think of the fact that George Clooney and Ben Affleck teamed up to bring back the porno beard, anything can happen. Batman is a popular character but it takes a special kind of person to pull it off. I thought Bale was good even though he gave Batman some serious throat cancer. Let's see what happens down the line, good luck to Ben Affleck.
