"I turned my back on the news cycle for two measly hours last night (to watch Drinking Buddies! You guys should definitely see it, I loved), and look what happened: Hollywood basically exploded with more interesting casting news than we&amp;#x27;ve seen in the past month put together. Let&amp;#x27;s not beat around the buzziest bush (hmm, that sounded weird): Ben Affleck is set to play Batman in the Man of Steel (a.k.a. Henry Cavill&amp;#x27;s Superman) sequel. I mean, fair enough, but has anyone else noticed that Batman is the only role you can stretch the age thing on? Superman seems always to fall squarely in the late-20s range, and Spider-Mans usually look like they can&amp;#x27;t even grow a mustache. Batman always feels older, but this is pushing it even for Bruce Wayne. Christian Bale was only 31 when Batman Begins came out; Ben (not that he isn&amp;#x27;t in the prime of his life, mortals-wise) will be 43 by the time his version hits screens. Anyway. Mockingjay just found its Cressida&amp;amp;#8212;in Game of Thrones&amp;#x27; Natalie Dormer. I love this matchup, but I&amp;#x27;m also using this opportunity to throw something out there: can Pink play Tigris? It would really mean a lot to me. Thanks. And last but certainly not least: SNL is rumored to be adding four new cast members, and I guarantee you&amp;#x27;ll recognize at least one. The lucky kids are (pictured left to right above) John Milhiser, Noel Wells (watch her Zooey D impressions here), Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett. Does Beck look familiar? How &amp;#x27;bout now? Whaddaya think of all these? Photo: UCB, Getty, HBO"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
