5. Ben Affleck Is Batman
When Warner Bros. announced that the next Superman movie would involve the alien crime fighter facing off against freakin' Batman, the world gathered around to hear who would take on the role of the Caped Crusader in the wake of Christian Bale's departure - the excitement levels were practically through the roof. Would it be Ryan Gosling? Michael Fassbender? Joaquin Phoenix, even? How about Ben Affleck, everyone? "You're joking?" said the world. Uh-uh. Before long, a petition of over 50,000 signatures had appeared online, with frenzied fanboys citing reasons such as: "He screwed up Daredevil!" and "He screwed up Daredevil!" as to why he should be exempt from the role. Admist all the chaos, however, everybody seemed to forget that they hadn't actually seen Ben Affleck as Batman yet, and should probably reserve judgement until, you know, the movie is out. Fanboys still aren't convinced: we'll see if they were right come 2014.
