After a rocky start, fans seem to be growing to the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman is Zack Snyder’s sequel to Man of Steel. In an interview to Al Norton from 411Mania, the actor talked about what made him decide to play Batman and more.
Here
is an excerpt from the interview.
"Al
Norton: Do you remember your first thought when the idea of you playing Batman
was originally presented to you and was there a tipping point in your decision
making process, a moment where you started to think, "I really want to do
this"?
Ben
Affleck: Initially I was reluctant as I felt I didn't fit the traditional mold
but once Zack showed me the concept, and that it would be both different from
the great movies that Chris and Christian made but still in keeping with
tradition I was excited. Doing something different and new is always tricky and
part of the thrill and the risk is that initially it confounds expectations.
The truth is, it's the movie and the execution of it is what all the actors
depend on and I believe in Zack's vision.
Al
Norton: Warner Brothers CEO Kevin Tsujihara recently said that this version of
Batman would be "tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for
awhile"...Is that how you envisioned him as well and what would you add to
the description on the Bruce Wayne side of things?
Ben
Affleck: Yes, Kevin described it aptly. I don't want to go further because I
want to be able to capitalize on what is new about this iteration by having it
be a surprise to the audience."
