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.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
