While tonight has been full of surprises, it shouldn't come as any surprise that the Ben Affleck as Batman in the Man of Steel sequel, Batman vs. Superman movie (for cryin' out loud...we have a cast and a release date, can you PLEASE give us a real title now, Warner Bros?) sent Twitter into a frenzy. We're rounding up our favorite reactions from the geek community, from comic book writers and artists to movie stars to politicians...to The Batman himself! So, if Twitter is too much for you right now, just keep checking back with us and we'll sift through it and try to find you the best bits. No promises, though. As Mr. Affleck and the casting department are about to learn, there's just no pleasing some folks!

There's a line from Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" that says "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone." That's also an accurate assessment of Ben Affleck's time as Batman. Though his initial casting was met with fan backlash (let's feign shock and horror here), he established himself as a credible and distinct Dark Knight. Some fans have even proclaimed him the best Batman there's ever been. The Oscar-winning filmmaker has made it clear that he no longer wants to make big franchise movies, including superhero flicks, so "The Flash" may well end up being his Batman swansong.
