News that Ben Affleck would play Batman to Henry Cavill’s Superman in the “Man of Steel” sequel took Twitter by surprise Thursday night. The world has until 2015 to get used to the idea, but even that might be asking a bit much.
You read for a part, you feel good about it, you feel confident, then they cast Ben Affleck.

RT @sdshields 1 thing I definitely miss about Cory before he ran 4 Senate… he'd definitely be on Twitter talking about Affleck as Batman.

Cory Booker might have doomed his candidacy with his controversial pro-Ben stance.
Sorry I'm pro-Ben RT @tylerkingkade if elected, will you stop Ben Affleck from playing Batman?

Ben Affleck’s not that bad of a casting decision, is it? Well, it didn’t take long for a #BetterBatmanThanBenAffleck hashtag to take off.
