Ben Affleck has been named as the next actor to don Batman's black cape.
Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create a new incarnation of the character in Snyder's as-yet-untitled project, which will bring Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen, it was announced today.
Affleck, 41, will star opposite Man of Steel's Henry Cavill, who will reprise the role of Superman/Clark Kent.

I can't wait to work with him," Snyder said.
