Ben Affleck

Last week, the Internet was set abuzz with the news that Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in the upcoming 'Man of Steel' sequel. The movie will see Affleck's Bruce Wayne face off against Henry Cavill's Superman. While the Batman casting was a controversial decision, there is no argument that both Affleck and Cavill are seriously smoldering. Who do you think is more swoon-worthy?

Last night, Warner Bros. confirmed that Ben Affleck would be playing Batman in the upcoming 'Man of Steel' sequel, and it seems like the Internet lost it.

'Weekend Update' host/head-writer Seth Meyers (who's taking over 'Late Night' from Jimmy Fallon next year) and actor Bill Hader had their last episode of 'Saturday Night Live' together on May 18 -- and they said goodbye in a very big way.

It's widely documented that Ben Affleck is gunning for the title of Best Dad Ever. As a result, if you make his kids cry, it's not going to end well for you.

Ben Affleck was snubbed for Best Director, but nabbed Best Picture for 'Argo' -- and his own daughter won an award of her own before the 2013 Oscars started. Just before showtime, Affleck took his daughter, Violet, to a spelling bee. Dude, we finally forgive you for 'Gigli.'

The stars hit the party circuit after the 2013 Oscars, and one popular destination this year (and every year) is the Vanity Fair party -- where newly-minted winners of the coveted golden gods like Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, Christoph Waltz and Daniel Day-Lewis showed off their hardware. Also in attendance? Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Aniston and a whole lot more

Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson, who, aside from their awesomeness couldn't be more different, announced the winner for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars -- and it was none other than 'Argo.' And though he could have, Ben Affleck didn't rub anyone's nose in it. He's a much better person than we are.

Ben Affleck won big at the Directors Guild of America Awards last night (Feb. 2) ... and he may have his daughters to thank for it.

$2,500 Bathroom Rug What do you do with a $2,500 Persian rug a crazed man sold you in Turkey? If you're Ben Affleck, you put it in your bathroom because you directed 'Argo' and you CAN, dammit.

Despite rumors to the contrary, 'Argo' director Ben Affleck is not vying for a senate seat just yet.

In news that will further drive the point home that our government is doomed, Ben Affleck is considering a run for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.

Argo director Ben Affleck weirdly thinks being a starving artist is as romantic as a candlelit dinner. (But if he wants to couch-surf at our place, we're totally game.)

Poor Ben Affleck was much better off pre-Bennifer, back when he was just an actor from Boston who helped write 'Good Will Hunting' with his best bud Matt Damon. Then along came big-butted succubus Jennifer Lopez -- and it all went to hell.

Ben Affleck recently revealed working with Blake Lively on 'The Town' was quite the ego-deflating experience.
