Joss Whedon Throws His Supports Behind New Batman Ben Affleck

Though there is a sense of rivalry between the DC and Marvel movie universes (or at least jealously, which seems the only reason Warner Brothers was so desperate to make 'Justice League'), the people behind these films have no ill will towards their supposed competitors. 'Avengers' director Joss Whedon -- after a day where many disparaged the casting of Ben Affleck as the new Batman -- has thrown his support behind the filmmaker-turned-crimefighter.

In a tweet, Whedon had this to say about Affleck:

'The Untitled Zack Snyder Super Hero Film' is set to hit theaters July 17, 2015.
