WB Disses Batman Ben Affleck and Superman Henry Cavill On National Superhero Day

DCEU fans aren’t happy with Warner Bros. who disses the Ben Affleck Batman and the Henry Cavill Superman on National Superhero Day.

Tuesday saw Warner Bros. tweet happy National Superhero Day and included four images: The Gal Gadot Wonder Woman and the Jason Momoa Aquaman from the DCEU, but WB used the Michael Keaton Batman and the Christopher Reeve Superman.

“To the ones who inspire us to be larger than life and teach us that anything is possible, Happy #NationalSuperheroDay!” tweeted WB.

The fans, especially the Snyder Cut fans, immediately noticed the absence of both the Ben Affleck Batman and the Henry Cavill Superman; check out reactions below.

We do know that Ben Affleck left the Batman role, with Robert Pattinson taking over along with Matt Reeves.

Regarding Henry Cavill as Superman, Cavill did say that he is not giving up on the Superman role, but reportedly he did tell fans at Comic-Con last summer that he dropped out of the role to do The Witcher series for Netflix.

I was also told by DC insiders that J.J. Abrams is rebooting Superman.

DC fans react to no Ben Affleck Batman and Henry Cavill Superman for National Superhero Day:
