Ben Affleck Is the New Batman - 電影

Ben Affleck is Batman.

The actor will replace Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming untitled
Superman-Batman feature for Warner Bros., the studio announced Thursday.

Affleck becomes the eighth actor to play the Caped Crusader, following Bale,
George Clooney and Michael Keaton.

“We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics’ most
enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill,
and then some,” WB president Greg Silverman said in a statement.

Directed by “Man of Steel” filmmaker Zack Snyder, the Superman-Batman
feature will open worldwide on July 17, 2015, with Henry Cavill, Amy Adams
and Diane Lane reprising their roles.

“Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry’s Superman. He has
the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and
wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but
retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne,” Snyder
said in a statement. “I can’t wait to work with him.”

The announcement of a Batman-Superman film was revealed last month at
Comic-con to much excitement of fanboys, who will surely be watching as the
studio begins to assemble its Justice League.

The irony of Thursday’s news is that at one point Warner Bros. was
interested in having Affleck direct the “Justice League” movie and his
participation in this film will now spur interest if whether his casting
means a possibility of directing that film.

The Boston native recently upped his Hollywood power when he won the Best
Picture Oscar for “Argo.”

Affleck, repped by WME, can be seen next in Fox and New Regency’s thriller “
Runner Runner.”
