Whether you’re a fan of Ben Affleck’s casting as the new Batman or one of the many who spoke out (loudly) against it, now you’ve got a sneak peek into how he’s filling out the role. Director Zack Synder recently tweeted a photo of Affleck as Batman:
A couple of things straight off the bat (excuse the pun): How much of the arms and chest is the batsuit and how much of that is Ben’s sweat and tears in the gym? The Academy Award-winner hardly seems like the type to half-ass it, so we’re guessing he’s putting in his due diligence to get shredded for the role. Also, Affleck’s wife, Jennifer Garner, had this to say about Affleck’s preparation: “I’ll tell you that there is a man working out at my house right now—I’m sure—for his second time today. And he has 17-inch biceps.”
He better be in shape. He’ll be up against Henry Cavill, who did some serious work in the gym to become The Man of Steel. Good guy or bad guy, when you sign up for these movies you commit to coming into the shoot in supreme shape. Case in Point: The Bane Workout. So what do you think of Ben in the batsuit? Let us know!
