Who Should Have Played Batman?

Ben Affleck has just been cast as Batman in Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel sequel (sorry, Daredevil 2 hold-outs), and the internet is flipping its collective desk over at the very idea of a quippy Dark Knight. If you’re so smart, you fix it: who should have been cast?

We did a quick whip-around the office and figured out who our esteemed colleagues would prefer as the Batman.

Chris from Lifehacker wants Iain Glen, notably of Game Of Thrones fame, Ben and Liz at Business Insider would prefer Christian Bale to come back, while Jess from POPSUGAR wants Michael Fassbender. Personally, I think Jake Gyllenhaal would have been great, but I’m not fussed by Affleck in the role.

Who would you prefer? Let us know in the comments.
