SPECULATION TIME! Is This Leaked Image Our First Look At Ben Affleck As BATMAN?
Look, it's admittedly unlikely, but a blurry image of what appears to be Ben Affleck as Batman has surfaced and no one has of yet been able to identify where it may have originated from if it IS a manip. So, the only way to find out is if you guys know or if Warner Bros. ask us to take it down...
What you're seeing above apparently came from Instagram before landing on the Superhero Hype Forums. It appears to be a photo of a photo, making it even harder to unearth whether or not it's legit. Even if it is just fan-art (which, let's face it, is the most likely answer here), it does give us a pretty cool idea of what to expect when it comes to what Ben Affleck will look like as the Caped Crusader. However, if this really is a leaked image of "Batfleck", it's pretty damn awesome and the Jim Lee inspiration is clear! What do you guys think? Real of fake? Let us know below!
