Is Ben Affleck Already Working Out For The Role Of BATMAN?
If you remember Ben Affleck in The Town, you might wonder why he needs to work out at all, but a new report states that the actor is preparing to play the Caped Crusader by undergoing an intense two hour a day training regime. Read on for details!
There have been MANY complaints from fans about the fact that Ben Affleck has been cast as the new Batman in Zack Snyder's upcoming movie, with one of the main ones being that the 41 year old actor is buff enough to play the Caped Crusader. Well, a new report indicates that the Argo star is already hard at work getting ready to take on Superman in 2015! "A source tells Us Weekly that the actor, director and father of three has been working hard to get buff -- training two hours a day to transform his physique." So, that should at least put some minds at ease! As you can see from the photo above, Affleck has had no trouble getting into shape in the recent past and Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt is the perfect example of an actor who has completely transformed their physical appearance for a superhero role. What do you guys think? Will Affleck's Batman be more than enough of a match for Henry Cavill's Superman?
