An anti-Ben Affleck petition has been filed on change.org by Batman fans after it was revealed that the actor will portray the caped crusader in upcoming movie Superman vs Batman.
Started by Kentucky resident John Roden, the petition claims Affleck is "not built or intimidating enough" to play the superhero, as he doesn't have the requisite acting skills for a convincing Bruce Wayne, Metro.co.uk reported.
At the time of writing, the petition has attracted nearly 10,000 signatures.
Superman vs Batman is the sequel to Man of Steel and sees Henry Cavill returns as Superman. The film will be released in 2015.
