ben affleck working out to get into shape for role as batman

Now that Ben Affleck has been chosen to play Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, he's got a LOT of work to do to get into crime-fighting mode!

Although the news is just hitting the interwebs, the Argo actor/director, has already spent some time preparing for his role as the nocturnal superhero!

In fact, sources are saying that he's already started working out two hours a day to get his body into buff shape!! And we think all that heavy lifting with his three kids has something to do with it!

Dayum!!

Of course, this isn't the first time he's played a superhero, as he suited up to play Daredevil back in 2003. But let's be real here. This is NOT Daredevil!

This is BATMAN we're talking about here! And after what we saw from the Dark Knight trilogy, expectations are going to be VERY high!

We definitely can't wait to see Ben's transformation into Bruce Wayne over the next year!

Wait, Johnny Depp's Management Knew Of His Alleged Assaults On Amber Heard?

Wow. It seems like things are about to get worse for Johnny Depp.

Amid his legal battle with his former business managers, The Mandel Group, newly released documents about the star have been revealed -- and they allege the claims about Johnny assaulting ex-wife Amber Heard are entirely true.

The docs reveal the Pirates of the Caribbean's staff and security were aware he had "sometimes 'gotten physical'" with the actress, and included a time when he "violently kicked" her in 2014!

Additionally, in an attempt to show Depp has been lying to the public, TMG claims those text messages made public between Depp's assistant and Amber were indeed "genuine." Except the A-lister "pressured" his assistant to say they were fake.

TMG continues in the docs, adding the 54-year-old has even lied to "authorities" -- though there are no details in relation to what:
