Ben Affleck Is The Next Batman

You know how Ben Affleck is only kind of attractive? Well, they cast him as Batman...and now he's going to be on screen with HENRY CAVILL. Um. Really not a good idea.

All kidding aside, as a huge comic book fan, he'll probably do a really good job and the ageing Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Here is Warner Brother's Statement:

“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," said WB's president of production Greg Silverman. "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.”

Ok, so I've read this statement 3 times and every time I read it I get confused about the "outstanding career" thing. Here's why:

• Gigli (2003)
• Jersey Girl (2004)
• He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
• Gigli - IT COUNTS TWICE. 
• Armageddon (1998)
• Animal cookies, that is all.

Honestly, he's done some really great movies, but his IMDB profile comes across as schizophenic. He does either really great movies, or SUPER terrible ones.

Plus, Christian Bale was pretty sessy. WHATEVER.

Ok. I'm done.

But really though, look at that picture above. Henry Cavill is beautiful. Hot damn. He makes Ben Affleck look like Quasimodo.
