New Delhi: Actor Ben Affleck will slip into the Batman suit for the lead role in the 'Man of Steel' sequel, Warner Bros Pictures announced.
The announcement was made by Greg Silverman, president - creative development and worldwide production, and Sue Kroll, president - worldwide marketing and international distribution, Warner Bros Pictures, in a statement.
"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 (director) Zack Snyder will bring new dimension to the duality of this character," said Silverman.
The announcement started a series of jokes on Twitter. We have compiled some jokes for you. Just take a look at them and laugh out loud.
