The Oscar winner Ben Affleck has been cast as the new Batman, replacing Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming Man Of Steel sequel, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.
The movie will bring the two superheroes together for the first time on the big screen. The film is scheduled to start shooting in 2014, and has been slated for a July 17, 2015 release.
Apart from his new news, Ben is also experiencing a bumper year career-wise. The father-of-three was recently cast in David Fincher's adaptation of the runaway bestseller Gone Girl. The star also starred in and directed Argo, which won Best Picture at this year's Oscars.
