Ben Affleck has been cast as Batman for the upcoming sequel to Zach Snyder’s Superman movie Man Of Steel. The film is set for a July 17, 2015 release date.
In a statement, director Zack Snyder expressed his excitement about the casting of Affleck, noting, “Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can’t wait to work with him.”
