Ben Affleck is now in Detroit with the likes of Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot to begin his filming for the highly anticipated BATMAN VS SUPERMAN. Affleck was tracked down by a local Detroit CBS news affiliate, where they found him working out at a local gym visibly spent after an intense workout. For months now Affleck has been logging in serious time at the gym and with cameras ready to roll it's clear that he has taken the challenge of filling out the famed cape and cowl very seriously.

Considering that Affleck has that famous chin-up scene from "The Town", I'm guessing we will see a scarred but muscled out shirtless Bruce Wayne at some point in this film to show off all the intense body building he's done.

I'm sorry, but someone playing Bruce Wayne/Batman needs more size and muscular definition. Ben Affleck has the build of an ordinary run of the mill gym rat, not someone who has spent years hunting criminals in Gotham City. Between Batfleck and the skinny Wonder Woman, I'm really disappointed with the casting.

Just for context on how "Big Ben" is stacking up against the other jacked actors playing superheroes, here's Chris Hemsworth off set the other day during some down time from filming Avengers: AOU

I pity the actor who has to reboot Thor someday, Hemsworth has made the big screen version of Odinson larger than life for sure

@reece1485

Christian Bale definitely has more muscle mass and a lower body fat %. No question.

Hemsworth looks big and ripped, Affleck just looks big. Anyone got pics of Cavill to compare?
merrillmind
merrillmind - 5/18/2014, 8:06 PM
Affleck looks to have that barrel chested look of a classic Batman, just like how Bale looked in "Batman Begins"

Are you guys blind? You can't compare Ben Affleck to Christian Bale.

merrillmind - 5/18/2014, 8:08 PM
Cavill is much shorter than Affleck so without movie magic side by side Ben certainly gives off more of superhero vibe IMO

Damn, Ben Affleck is definitely in superhero shape. He will be the biggest Batman on the big screen yet.

@merril It's weird, Superman is usually potrayed as a bigger guy than Batman.

Batman should be more about size rather than definition since we rarely ever see him without his shirt; he always has a suit on, whether it's the Batsuit or business suit.
