Batman fans have lashed out as Ben Affleck is named new Dark Knight

Batman fans have lashed out after Ben Affleck was named as the new Dark Knight.

Ben is set to play Batman opposite Henry Cavill in the untitled Man of Steel sequel that will be directed by Zack Snyder

The Gigi star, 41 and writer-director of Good Will Hunting was slammed as ‘too wooden’ in his role as superhero Daredevil – no we didn’t watch that one either – and it flopped at the box office.

Thousands of super-fans have signed a petition urging Warner Bros to bring back previous Batman star Christian Bale.

Check out one of Ben’s finest moments rubbing that ass at 1min 36secs in Jenny from the Block music video. Boo Ben, shame alive – you shoulda known better than to date beneath you and star in a music video with her.

Then another all-time low for J.Lo when she wrote sick love ballad to him Dear Ben. You are still Jenny from the Block and now Ben is Batman.
