Ben looks a lot less bloated now than he did in JL
0:10 Look at everyones head just pointing at him
Woow …. Honest words …..
It is truly a shame. I've loved ben Affleck as the dark Knight since BVS, the take on a older Batman, his increased brutality, he looked the part, sold it well, I'm pissed he's gone, (along with Henry Cavill) like won't it be EXTREMELY jarring to see new faces in roles we've seen prior? Unless of course they just dispense with Superman and Batman's story arcs altogether to avoid hiring new actors idfk, I've heard Robert Pattinson is in talks to be batman but who really knows…
Worst excuse ever
Because he wanted to. I'm sure Chris Evans and RDJ want to get out of their contracts but can't. Hugh obviously didn't want to play Wolverine anymore long before Logan, but was probably had no choice but to do a couple of X-Men films to just get it over with and because it was probably iron clad.
Affleck seems to be cursed when it comes to superhero roles. First he does Daredevil but the studio doesn't want to show the director's cut in theatres. Then he becomes one of the best Batmans ever but the script he has to work with is terrible and once again, the studio doesn't want to release the director's cut in theatres.
Chill out. I'll be the next Batman. Everything is fine
It’s simple we’ll kill the Batman.
Yeah right Ben couldn't crack it a batman fan and a oscar winning writer couldn't crack batman movie sure
You know, he could of done something from Batman HUSH
Unpopular opinion …didn’t want him to play Batman anyway did you see what he did in Batman vs superman 1.) 100% not better than Christian bale 2:) he cant be that chunky its just not the bruce Wayne get up
Its like replacing chris as thor with john cena !! Hell to the no
I just want a Batman as dark and secretive as Christian bale in dark knight
He couldn’t HACK it, worst Batman ever…BRING BACK CHRISTIAN BALE!!!!
What if he really became Batman. Bruce Wayne had to create a distraction for the public
The age of batfleck is a rarely mentioned problem
I don't understand what he just said… He didn't like the script/direction? This is a guy who was in Raindeer Games, Gigli, Coming Home for Christmas, Jersey Girl!!! Whats another swing for shitty movie scripts and direction? Dam fool! That's the reason why I give it to Matt Damon he follows through look how much they milk that Bourn Identity series. I don't care at this point make Matt Batman!
Hey actor promoting a different movie talk about that project that failed and you hated. Actor: "Am I a joke to you?".
I’m glad he put down the role.
Honeslty I'd rather see Matt Reeves vision I respect Ben but I'm,done hearing him talk about Batman .
Dont buy it for one sec! Jay Oliva has stated that Ben's script was the best Batman script he's ever read. WB dont know what they are doing…sigh.
He cracked it , he couldn’t get it made. It’s up right there with Jodorowsky ‘a Dune
Thought he was decent in very badly written and directed films.
Despite Snyder's movies were polarizing to say it mildly, at least Ben's Batman was praised by the majority. He's been Batman for three years now, so I guess it's enough.
I'm sure people would find some way to blame this on Geoff Johns too.
Code for I was in rehab
Writer's block. The DCEU in a nutshell.
Best Batman ever ?
100% WB are telling him not to mention any details about it. Hopefully one day he can just let loose and tell us everything that went on. BTW Scott Adkins for next Batman imo.
Every time i see a Ben Afleck movie i just see Batman
Doesnt matter now, WB would have ruined it anyway..
He's the goddamn Batman
