Outlander star Sam Heughan has been chosen by fans to replace Ben Affleck as the next Batman!
If you don’t know, we ran a poll and asked fans…which star would you like to see portray the caped crusader next?
Well, Sam won in a huge victory with over 90,000 votes! Jensen Ackles came in second place with over 67,000 votes. You can see the full results of the poll right here.
Ben will be stepping away from the role and the superhero will be recast for the 2021 standalone film.
