Ben Affleck is the newest member to the superman franchise.

The creator of the Man Of Steel have confirmed that Ben Affleck has been recruited for the Man Of Steel sequel, and he will be taking on the role of to play Batman.

Warner Brothers said this in a statement:

“Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled project — bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director’s vision of their universe, which he established in ‘Man of Steel.”

Film maker Zach Synder adds this:

“Ben provides an interesting counterbalance 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.”

This is not Ben’s first time playing a super hero. Back in 2003,  Affleck starred as blind super hero “Dare Devil,” so Batman should be a piece of cake for him.

Do you think the Oscar ward winning actor will make a good Batman?
