Right, so it took the internet all of 13 seconds to hate on director Zack Snyder‘s choice to cast Ben Affleck as the next Batman in the Man of Steel sequel, still rumoured to be titled Batman Vs. Superman.
Here are a few choice words of outrage c/o Twitter.
Ben Affleck is the Sharknado of action heroes

Ben Affleck would be a terrible choice as a handsome, white, slightly older rich guy in great shape.

In the new Ben Affleck version, the Batmobile is just a beige Prius

Batman’s lost his parents and like 4 Robins. Hasn’t he suffered enough? #Batfleck

In the Ben Affleck version, Batman’s parents kill themselves.

I’m really excited about Ben Affleck playing Batman because I think it will soon be my new favourite movie over Gigli and Reindeer Games.

Jesus. I leave Twitter for, like, a minute, and you guys let Ben Affleck get cast as Batman? YOU HAD ONE JOB!

Ben Affleck as #Batman is the worst thing to happen to the franchise since George Clooney’s bat nipples – WTF pic.twitter.com/u82q9CDzP7

Even Goku was pissed at the choice.
Quick, gather the Dragon Balls! We have to undo Ben Affleck as Batman!

Oh, and here are the two people that actually think this is a good idea.
Ben Affleck is good. Y’all can go to hell. #GiveBenADollar
