His fellow "Batman v Superman" actors Amy Adams and Henry Cavill will also star in the first Justice League film, which, according to Warner Bros., is due to come to theaters in 2017.

DC fans all over the world are excited for the reboot of the Batman franchise, however, the upcoming "Batman v Superman" movie has not even released a trailer yet.

Affleck also received bad comments when it was announced that he would play the role of the Caped Crusader last August. #Batlash, as well as several fan petitions circulated the web as a response to Affleck being cast in the movie.

"I'm a big boy," the actor told Jimmy Fallon when he was asked about the criticism from Batman fans. "They said just don't use the Internet for a couple of days... I handle s--t. I'm very tough. I saw the announcement, look down on the first comment... the first one just goes, 'Noooooo!'"

The actor has since let the negative criticism just pass by. His dedication to the role was seen when the actor put on 30 pounds of muscle.

The Batman character was previously brought to life by big-name actors like Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and most recently, Christian Bale.
