Ben Affleck is in the midst of filming Batman vs. Superman in East Lansing, Mich. The Oscar-winner was working out at the Spartans’ weight room on Thursday and coach Mark Dantonio invited him out to address the team. It would appear Affleck’s portrayal of the caped crusader will be more in line with the jacked up Christian Bale version than, say, Michael Keaton’s.
Earlier this month Dantonio said the Spartans’ TV ratings — eyeballs on the set — should be a factor come playoff time. Affleck = eyeballs, right?

The movie — full title: Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice — doesn’t come out in 2016 and according to IMBD the guy who played Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones is playing Aquaman. Go figure.
