Ben Affleck is your new Bruce Wayne; Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor?

Ben Affleck is set to star as Batman in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel sequel, Warner Bros. has announced.

 

As reported by The Wrap, Greg Silverman, President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production at Warner Bros. made the following statement earlier today:

“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.”

Update:

 

 

He has risen to television infamy by several names: Walter White, Heisenberg, The One Who Knocks.

But Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is putting behind his meth-king days with another ambition in mind: Destroying Superman.

 

Cranston has been cast as supervillain Lex Luthor in the Man Of Steel sequel, reports Cosmic Book News.

I don't see why everyone is hating on this. I think that if he puts on a bit of muscle he'll be just fine.He's never really been a muscular guy so it'll be interesting to see if he can get into Christan Bale Batman shape. Acting wise I really think he'll be fine though. He's very underrated and has put in some good performances. I can't really think of anyone who 100% definitvely a better choice than Affleck either so I'm not going to complain.

I don't think Bale was even a particularly good Batman, he just benefited from some fantastic scripts. Affleck could do the same. All up to the writer.

 

I agree. I didn't care for Bale either.  I think he overacted it.

 

Affleck is a great actor, but I don't think he fits Batman either.  We'll see.

 

I don't really think they've had a good Batman yet.  The mention of the 'Mad Men' guy is good... I think he at least fits the "look" of Bruce Wayne.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
