Twitter Reacts To Ben Affleck Being Cast As BATMAN

Ben Affleck officially cast as Batman in the Man of Steel sequel. For the first time in history, I kind of want Superman to win.

Ben Affleck awakes, checks Twitter. "Affleck is Batman? Sucks!" He chuckles, kisses his movie star wife, pats his Oscar, goes back to bed.

You read for a part, you feel good about it, you feel confident, then they cast Ben Affleck.

I'm actually very curious to see what @BenAffleck does w/Bruce in #batman He's more than proven his storytelling ability w/The Town & Argo.

Ben Affleck will be a BRILLIANT Batman. Such a nice, intelligent actor. The backlash to his backlash is now complete. Love it!

Imagine if/when he cocks it all up, he'll be responsible for the two worst depictions of two separate superheroes.

Affleck is going to kill this. Mark my words. As a huge fan of Bale, I completely think this is a genius new way to take it.

Affleck directing Batman? Could be cool. He's really finding himself as a director... Wha? Playing Batman? Eeeep!!-- A guy who saw Daredevil

Weirdly, I think I will SEE THE MOVIE FIRST before I decide if I like Ben Affleck as Batman.

Affleck will be awesome. They don't just hand huge / iconic parts out at random. (Except Rampage Jackson in "The A Team". That was awful.)

At tonight's DON JON Q&A, @hitRECordJoe was asked about the Ben Affleck Batman casting. He said, "I like Ben; he's a good actor." #notnews

Really looking forward to seeing Affleck bring the depth and gravitas to Batman that he brought to Daredevil and Gigli.
