Ben Affleck will join Henry Cavill in Warner Bros.’ Man of Steel sequel, the studio announced on Thursday.

The project was announced at Comic-Con earlier this year, prompting much speculation surrounding who would play the caped crusader. Zack Snyder is back in the director’s chair for the project, which places Batman and Superman together on the big screen for the first time.

HE IS NAWT THE DAHK KNIGHT GAWTHAM WANTS, HE’S THE DAHK KNIGHT THAT’S GONNA LEAVE THIS WHOLE FACKIN TOWN IN HIS REAHVIEW!

I’m sorry, this news caught me so off guard that I could only respond in crude vernacular. What a strange choice. Affleck playing Batman reminds me too much of Clooney playing Batman, which was not a good thing. He’s not unathletic, but he’s kind of oafy. Galootish, even. Can you imagine Ben Affleck sneaking up on anyone? His glow-in-the-dark porcelain veneers would give him away every time. Ben Affleck doing ninja shit is about as believable as Tom Cruise playing offensive line.
