Batman: A Visual History

21. Ben Affleck's Batman

The next live action Batman is Ben Affleck. In 2013, the Daredevil actor was cast as the new Dark Knight, resulting in a huge backlash amongst fans of the hero.

He will make his first appearance in DC's expanded cinematic universe in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, when he will face off against Henry Cavill's Superman, before joining forces with the Man of Steel and various other characters, including Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, in a live action Justice League. It remains to be seen whether or not Affleck will prove his doubters wrong and portray Batman well, but the world is certainly hoping he does so.
