In look maybe (at least from the last season), but I hope he also gets to act like that Batman too in JL.
Some great and honest thoughts from Henry Cavill on where these movies have misstepped and the goal to give the fans what they want:

Kudos to him for being one of the only people attached to the films who is open about the failure, instead of excusing it. His comments make me hopeful that the Superman we're getting in JL is a continuation of what he did in MoS and that we'll actually get to see the man he was destined to be by the end.
Chinese Press Praises Brilliant First 30 Minutes Of Justice League
Very good points though any positives at this point are good for JL, I want the film to do well being a DC fan
Every reaction I have seen to this first 30 mins of footage has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm not going to give them much thought until I see some negative reactions to prove that it isn't all super fanboy hype.
My hype is middling, if we get a good film I will be happy
It's become increasingly important for me to have no hype at all or, in minor cases (basically only Bond now) to have that hype predicated on what I feel. Thirty minutes of footage being liked by others really does nothing for me, and that's everything down to me not seeing it and also the different audiences China has.
But, just to throw this out there, the first screening of BvS had a standing ovation (maybe this was just Warner having a circle jerk) and the early buzz was positive too. In the end, it means nothing to me (or any of us) as our opinion is what matters when we go and see it.
First rewatch since the shows respectively aired each episode, I thoroughly enjoyed this dvd of the crossover, DC are on fire in TV land with this, the films could learn alot from Invasion!
Really looking forward to seeing this over the next week or two!
Interesting as apart from the Joker in Suicide Squad he had mostly never used before villains in his "films"
Batman V Superman: KGBeast
Suicide Squad: Killer Croc Deadshot Harley Quinn Joker ( only used villain)
Justice League: Steppenwolf (which isn't a batman villain but meh)
Bad because I really wanted to see him fighting Ventriloquist/Scarface and Black Mask in a solo film.... oh well
Exactly, Ben isn't going anywhere. This is like Dan and Bond all over again, the needless worrying for an exit that won't come.
I don t know. Spacey got sacked, after all.
I haven't heard any accusations against Ben, and only know of the groping case from the early 2000s that conveniently wasn't brought up by the actress in question (who was laughing with him at the time) until the dam broke on the Weinstein business, Spacey and more. I don't think it's right what he did, and it was silly, but there's a big difference between Ben being overly playful and touchy with a girl and what Weinstein and Spacey did, which was predation level and based upon what could be a very sick need for power.
Ben was being stupid and went too far in an attempt to be playful, Weinstein actually raped women against their will and hung their careers over their heads if they didn't comply. The truth is only beginning to come out about what Spacey has done, but that stuff doesn't seem too flattering either.
All this to say that, in relation to everything else, I don't think Ben is in danger of losing his job. Every question about him leaving the DC films seems to have been based on his personal life (getting past alcohol abuse and building up his family) and nothing at all related to any sexual abuse accusations, the latter of which is predated by everything else. Even with the latest accusations (the ones I didn't know existed), I still don't think Ben is in danger of termination, and he's already made a pubic case to fight for the "solution" to the problem in the industry. If he was out, we'd have heard about it by now.
@Thunderfinger, no problem. As far as I know, that 2003 issue was all that is concerning Ben right now, and that really seems to have died out as he sent out an apology and has made good with Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, her husband (and awkwardly enough, the guy who plays Thomas Wayne in the DCEU). I did a quick look and nothing is being said about anything else in relation to Ben, so I appear to have been right that it all stopped there. I understand the confusion though, as so many accusations are coming out now, including Ben's relation Casey Affleck, who you may've confused Ben with. Casey has a history of the kinds of assault/harassment that is now coming out in light of the Weinstein situation, and he may be one of the next actors to follow in the footsteps of what happened with Spacey, where the controversy around them sees them losing jobs in the industry, etc.
Not into the Marvel/DC divide so I'm always mixing up who belongs where.
Between Deadpool, Deadshot and Deathstroke, the macabre villains of DC and Marvel are easy for folks to confuse. ;)
I'll be waiting with bated breath, @Creasy47. Ever since I saw 2012's Avengers and Darkseid was teased at the end, I've been anticipating the first meeting between he and the heroes. I just hope Green Arrow gets more screen time in the next one, as Jeremy Renner has been wasted thus far!
