So is he going to direct "The World's Finest, and the eventual JLA movie? At least we're finally going to get rid off the wacky "Batman," voice. I hope they finally put The Batman in suit resembling the traditional one or at least the one from the Arkham games.

Zack Snyder is directing the sequel. I doubt there's anything official about the JLA movie yet.
I'm kind of conflicted now. I hated Affleck for years. But I did like Argo. Hopefully he realizes how high Christian Bale set the bar, and he'll go all out for the role. He was awful as Daredevil and wasn't in anywhere near good enough shape for that movie. I'm still hopeful for the movie though. "Man of Steel" was the best movie I've seen this year, so they've got something good to build on. |

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

I think it's ultimately a matter of Warner Brothers more than any specific creator. They need to either commit to the idea, or just flat-out say that it isn't going to happen. All this wishy-washiness is just making them look ineffectual while Marvel keeps building their franchises even bigger. |

Exclusive: Bryan Cranston Is Lex Luthor in Batman/Superman; Matt Damon Up For Aquaman; Mark Strong As Sinestro Possible - Cosmic Book News As Cosmic Book News previously was informed, Lex Luthor has been cast in the Man of Steel sequel that will feature Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman. Now we have been told a batch of new details, on top of why Affleck was chosen as Batman. Bryan Cranston has been cast as Lex Luthor in what is said to be at least a six "appearance" deal (think of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury popping up in every Marvel movie in the run-up to Avengers) and may be as high as ten. Look for the official announcement to follow the conclusion to the final season of Breaking Bad as WB wants to dovetail off the end of that. Regarding Ben Affleck, we are told he has allegedly a 13-appearance deal for Batman. DC is going to have all of their main characters liberally appearing or at least mentioned in all of their movies to portray a more connected world than what Marvel Studios has done so far. DC also does have major interest in bringing Matt Damon into the Justice League now that Affleck is on board, and it is rumored that he is being considered for Aquaman or Martian Manhunter. Regarding Mark Strong playing Lex Luthor, the one thing that worked a bit against him was that he was already Sinestro -- and still could be again. "Cranston truly is a dream casting for Luthor," we're told.

Why Warner Bros. Picked Ben Affleck To Play Batman - Business Insider
Kirsten Acuna Aug. 23, 2013 Ben Affleck is Batman. For the fans of the Dark Knight, comic books, movies, superheroes, or entertainment in general, it's all anyone is talking about. Memories of Affleck's portrayal of 2003's "Daredevil" have been fiercely flying around the Internet, leaving many fans worried and confused. How could a guy who so poorly played a superhero the last time around be chosen for one of the biggest and most-loved superhero roles out there? Consider that after stomaching George Clooney as Batman and odd nippled leather suits, Batfans finally had the envisionment of the hero they wanted with Christian Bale. The new dynamic duo was not Batman and Robin, but Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan (plus David S. Goyer and Jonathan Nolan). No longer. Affleck and Snyder are in, Christian Bale and Nolan are out. For fans, Affleck as Batman might not immediately seem the best choice. But as a business decision, Warner Brother's casting Affleck is a no brainer. They had to do it. Here's why. 1)Warner Brothers Needs a New Powerhouse Star After Losing Legendary Pictures Affleck is that star. He acts. He directs. He brings in the money. Since 2010, Ben Affleck has brought "The Town" (also Legendary) and Oscar winner "Argo" to screen for WB. So earlier this summer, when Warner Bros. lost its huge distributor partner Legendary Pictures to Universal Pictures, some major decisions had to get made. Top execs are likely hyper aware of the two Warner Bros. big money-makers (other than the "Lord of the Rings" franchise which will end after 2014) which were deals with Legendary Pictures and a certain actor and director by the name of Ben Affleck. Over the past eight years, Legendary Pictures has delivered a list of successful films including the Batman, trilogy, "300," "The Hangover" series, "42," and "Inception," four of which were Christopher Nolan films. Christopher Nolan is gone. It's not impossible, but highly unlikely Nolan will carry on with the "Justice League" film. Zack Snyder is clearly at the helm now with writer David S. Goyer, and Goyer has always been the heart driving the stories behind these films. 2) Legendary Giving Up Batman Vs. Superman Needed a Strong Response Since the split, Legendary and WB have been dividing up future films. While movies "Pacific Rim" and "Godzilla" will be staying with Warner Bros, "Seventh Son" starring Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore will be heading to Universal. The most interesting tidbit from the divorce is that Legendary gave up its "Man of Steel" sequel in order to keep its name on Christopher Nolan's upcoming "Interstellar" project. It appears that "Interstellar" is more important to Legendary than a Batman/Superman film, which is worrying for Batfans. Warner Brothers likely had to attach as big of a name as possible to the Batman vs. Superman mashup to keep worries about franchise direction from hurting the film's and series' prospects. Since Affleck brings a few Oscars and top films into the mix, that certainly helps. 3) Affleck is a Proven Talent Who Has Worked for the Company Working relationships matter. In Affleck, Warner Bros. turned to someone it has a really good working relationship and track record with. That happens to be "Argo" director Affleck. Affleck's been previously attached to Batman. His name was also rumored to originally direct the "Justice League" film as early as last year. Grabbing Affleck seems like a safe bet for Warner Bros. as opposed to taking a risk with other actors as the Caped Crusder. The man has a huge resume of both acting and directing. He's got star power. He could move into a larger role in the new direction in the future, and he's a safe pick considering his relationship with Warner Brothers. If all of these reasons translate into a great or good movie/franchise remains to be seen. Batfans, stay tuned.[/b] The Internet's response to Batfleck: Ben Affleck Is Batman: The Internet Reacts - Business Insider I found this picture to be funny as hell.
