Ben Affleck as Batman?! Say it ain't so! It can't be true! This is the worst news in the history of the world! News that Ben Affleck has been officially cast to play Bruce Wayne aka Batman in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel sequel hit Twitter by storm last night, spreading instantly all over the world and evoking some of the most heated reactions and discussions we've seen in a while. The actor who gave us Daredevil and Gigli is going to be the next Batman? Thinking about that too much can make your head spin, which is why it's best to kick back (and relax until 2015 when the movie arrives) and enjoy the fun responses that have poured in.
Almost everyone had something to say about the Ben Affleck Batman news, good or bad. Many Hollywood celebrities chimed in as well, a few of them with some hilarious tweets. Here's some of the best ones around:

The last one is great because by that point of the night, many folks had reached the "fuck it" stage and were tweeting absurdly hilarious things. For more amusement, Mashable has memes + Uproxx has more tweets.
In all honesty, it's still way too early to really judge this kind of casting decision (especially considering this won't be in theaters until July 2015). There's so much we don't know about the sequel and where Warner Bros / DC Comics wants to take the story next after Batman vs. Superman (or Man of Steel 2). This could all be leading towards Ben Affleck directing the Justice League movie (while also playing Batman) and if that happens, things will get even crazier. But for now, it is fun to see all of the reactions and responses, and to laugh at how much this has enraged fans. Even if you hate this casting, don't worry, the world isn't over.
