BATMAN/SUPERMANBen Affleck appeared on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" last night, discussing his recent casting as Batman in Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" sequel.

"They called me up and said, 'Do you wanna do this?'" Affleck told Fallon. "And I thought, 'Well, I'm not 25, man. Are you sure about this?' And they said, 'Come down, we want to show you what we're doing,' and it was incredible. [...] Zack Snyder's directing it. He has this incredible take on it that's like -- obviously you can't do what Chris [Nolan] and Christian [Bale] did, those movies are amazing. And so he wants to do something different but still in keeping with that. [...] I thought, this is a brilliant way to do this, and I really know how to hook into this."

If you're a fan of the character from the comics, you are going to really happy with his 'Arrow'-fication."

DOC SAVAGEIGN spoke with "Iron Man 3" director Shane Black about his upcoming adaptation of "Doc Savage" and his mission statement when it comes to the film.

"In the books, there's an element of goody-goody that we like. Doc Savage was the basis, essentially, for Superman because his name is Clark, he has a fortress of solitude and Superman has the same thing," Black told IGN. "But that kind of perfect hero that never makes mistakes is good to a point, and the type of adventure and the pulp it represents has been so imitated -- 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is essentially a child of Doc Savage. But we needed something more. We kept it in the '30s, we beefed up the rationale behind what it would take to be a perfect person and to be trained as such from childhood and how that would scar someone and what it would take to be a parent who was capable of inflicting that on your kid. But beyond that, we've tried to be true to the series; give him the helpers -- reinvigorating it, but introducing a whole new brand of people to this is a challenge. It's been around for 75 years and I've read all of them."

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5Speaking of "Iron Man 3," IGN also spoke with "Iron Man 3" writer Drew Pearce about his upcoming work on "Mission: Impossible 5" and what to expect from the upcoming sequel.

"The challenge is pretty clear -- you have to be better than the four that came before you, and they've already used a bunch of ideas that are probably good for a 'Mission: Impossible' movie. That's also kind of exciting because you learn from those four and I think definitely as far as I'm concerned and Chris McQuarrie -- who's directing it -- and Tom [Cruise], who's involved as is J.J. [Abrams], there's a big brain trust on this and I think elements of the first mission, the gang in the first mission, if you look back now, it's an incredible array of actors. The way it refreshed was really good. I think 'Ghost Protocol' just nailed tone."
