After the all the speculation, it has finally been revealed that Ben Affleck will be appearing as Batman along side Henry Cavil in the as yet unnamed Batman-Superman film, set to be released in 2015. He will be the 8th actor to play Batman. Many have seen this as a shock decision, after Christian Bale had publicly stated that he would be happy to continue in the role after starring in the latest Batman reboot.
Although this may be a controversial opinion, I will always see Affleck playing a Jersey Girl character. One of my favourite films is Chasing Amy, and the idea of Holden McNeil being Batman seems ridiculous! Plus, as a fellow Welshman, Bale will always have a special (but very dark) place in my heart….
The jury is still out, but this casting does worry me for the continuation of the batman story. One alternate universe too far?
