Since Ben Affleck is going to be the next Batman I thought this week it only make sense to go back and take a look at his alleged dating history. I mean, a guy who is good enough to play Batman has surely hooked up with a lot of sexy famous ladies over the years, right? Ben Affleck wasn’t always married, you know?

Hookup score: 9.0
The following entries on this list would suggest pretty much all of the above is true.

This is nothing more than a rumor, but there is this quote on the Internet: “Britney and Ben were all over each other, kissing and being very touchy-feely all night.”

The Internet never lies, right?

Fashion designer Shoshanna Lonstein barely qualifies as famous, but she did date Jerry Seinfeld when she was just 17 so there’s that.

Hookup score: 8.0
Batman can do better.

Jennifer Lopez (2002-2004)

Oh boy. These two starred in Gigli together (biggest bomb ever?) and put the term Bennifer on the map. They almost got married, but canceled the ceremony just hours before it was to take place.

Hookup score: 9.5
Thank God.

Affleck and Garner dated, she got pregnant, then they got married. Two more kids later and they’re still married, and now he’s Batman.

Hookup score: 9.5
As far as wife material goes, Jennifer seems like a definite winner.

Other less-substantiated alleged flings: Lauren Holly, Maya Rudolph, Sandra Bullock
