The internet is still reeling from hearing that Ben Affleck is going to be Batman in the Man of Steel sequel. The news has been circling the drain of internet conversation since the news was broken a week ago, with some (alright, tons) crying out in protest and others waiting hopefully for the Oscar winning actor and director to do a good job. Affleck has garnered support for his position as the new caped crusader from all sorts of people: Matt Damon (of course), Joss Whedon, former Batmen Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton and Adam West. The film is set to film in Michigan, according to The Hollywood Reporter, beginning next year.
With the addition of Affleck, some have wondered if perhaps he might take the directors chair in future Batman projects. He has a good relationship with Warner Brothers in the role of director, and he's set to helm the DC film continuity after Christopher Nolan made it clear that his trilogy was clearly a separate and independent entity from any other DC productions.
IGN editors discuss these idea here if you care to watch:
