"I Do Believe You Made A Mistake Going Up Against Superman"

Oh, Jon Stewart, we knew we liked you for a reason.

While talking to Ben Affleck in New York last night, the show host pointed out the reasons why Batman has no chance against Superman. It was more like a show-and-tell (at about 6:10). WATCH.

The interview of course was all in good fun (we think), and the rest of it was just as wacky. Including the part where Jon spoils Batman v Superman ;)

Ben has been busy promoting Gone Girl, which opens Friday. But he's had plenty to say about Detroit and filming Batman v Superman, including why he now drives an American-made car.

You can read more at The Detroit Free Press. He also talked to MTV about Zack Snyder's inspiration for Batman in his film. No spoilers here, the director drew from "The Dark Knight Returns." WATCH.

On The Today Show, Ben talked about the pressure from the fandom, and how he's dealing with it. WATCH.

Batman also mentioned the price of his suit while talking to Kelly & Michael (it's not cheap), and then revealed where the Batman v Superman v Star Wars rivalry really began, during his chat with Yahoo UK.

Thanks for all the cool details Batman! but like Jon said, Superman will still kick your butt come March 2016. Love ya Ben!

Henry "So Very Excited" About Working With Ben Affleck

Who knew a game of Rugby would give us the first comments from Henry, on Ben Affleck's casting as Batman. Henry is back home with his family this weekend after wrapping up promo for Man of Steel in Japan. As soon as he showed up to the afternoon game today, Jersey tweeted up a storm. Among the journalists there was BBC's Kevin Pamplin, who asked Henry about the big casting news. Henry exclusively told Pamplin he's "so very excited about working with him (Ben)" on the Man of Steel sequel, set to begin production reportedly in February. Here's the rest of what he told the BBC.

Cavill on Affleck: "He is such a great actor Im so very excited about working with him. He is going to have such a presence. I can't wait"

Cavill more today - "I feel good its been such a great year happy to be home & all with that comes next" He returns to London in few days!

So there you go. He was in good spirits & chuffed with the response we all had (especially for us on @BBCJersey) from the #JerseyCI premiere.

And the pics & tweets kept coming. But first check out this awesome video of Henry as he left the game with the Leicester Tigers... and gave up his fancy ride. Could he be any nicer?!

Hope Henry is enjoying a bit of a break before he resumes his pre-production work on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - Filming starts in a little bit more than a week. Look for updates as we get them. And thanks to all of Henry's fans for sharing their great pics. See the ones with the equally hot striped shirt in this post (guessing from Friday night). 

Holy Smokes! Ben Affleck Cast As Batman: Sequel Set For July 17, 2015.

This was breaking news that came out of left field. Actor and award winning director Ben Affleck, has been cast as the new Batman. Warner Bros. also revealed the still untitled Man of Steel sequel will be released around the world July 17, 2015.  

Press Release:

BEN AFFLECK REVEALED AS BATMAN IN WARNER BROS. PICTURES’ NEW SUPER HERO FEATURE FILM, NOW SLATED TO OPEN JULY 17, 2015

The Oscar®-winning star joins Henry Cavill in the first ever onscreen match-up of DC Comics’ most iconic characters.

BURBANK, CA, August 22, 2013 – Ending weeks of speculation, Ben Affleck has been set to star as Batman, a.k.a. Bruce Wayne. Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled project—bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director’s vision of their universe, which he established in “Man of Steel.” The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

The studio has slated the film to open worldwide on July 17, 2015.

Last month’s surprise announcement of the new movie featuring both Superman and Batman created a wave of excitement and immediately fueled discussion and debate—among fans as well as in the media—about who would put on the cape and cowl of Bruce Wayne’s alter ego.

Snyder successfully re-imagined the origin of Clark Kent/Superman in the worldwide blockbuster “Man of Steel,” which has earned more than $650 million worldwide to date, and climbing. The director will now create an original vision of Batman and his world for the film that brings the two DC Comics icons together.

Affleck will star opposite Henry Cavill, who will reprise the role of Superman/Clark Kent. The film will also reunite “Man of Steel” stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

In the announcement, Silverman stated, “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. His outstanding career is a testament to his talent and we know he and Zack will bring new dimension to the duality of this character.”

Snyder also expressed his excitement about the casting of Affleck, noting, “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. I can’t wait to work with him.”

Kroll added, “We are so thrilled that Ben is continuing Warner Bros.’ remarkable legacy with the character of Batman. He is a tremendously gifted actor who will make this role his own in this already much-anticipated pairing of these two beloved heroes.”

Affleck recently starred in the Academy Award®-winning Best Picture “Argo,” which he also directed and produced, earning acclaim and a BAFTA Award nomination for his performance in the film, as well as a number of directing honors. In 2010, he starred in and directed the hit crime thriller “The Town.” His recent acting work also includes “The Company Men,” “State of Play,” and “Hollywoodland,” for which he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Earlier in his career, Affleck starred in and co-wrote (with Matt Damon) “Good Will Hunting,” for which he won an Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay.

The new Super Hero film is being scripted by David S. Goyer from a story he co-created with Zack Snyder. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan and Wesley Coller serving as executive producers. Production is expected to begin in 2014.

The film is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, and Batman characters created by Bob Kane, published by DC Entertainment.

We look forward to seeing Ben work opposite Henry in the Man of Steel sequel, set to begin filming early next year. Bring it Batman. Just be prepared for Supes to kick. Your. Butt.
