So it has been a while since it was announced that Ben Affleck was taking over as the caped crusader, an to be honest I'm still not even close to being of the level of acceptance as everybody else seems to be. Anyway, Affleck himself has had a few words to say about his Batman casting.
"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."
