Actor and movie director Ben Affleck pondered if he had any regrets about playing Batman/Bruce Wayne, who he portrayed in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as well as other DC Extended Universe (DCEU) productions.
Ben Affleck’s regret about Batman was scaring his son in DC role
In a conversation with GQ, Affleck shared his perspective on playing Batman in the DCEU films. When queried if he had any regrets concerning the film, Affleck initially replied, “No, I enjoyed myself. I loved being in Detroit. I truly appreciate Zack [Snyder, the director] and Chris Terrio, who was the writer, I love them both.” Later, he elaborated on what may have drawn him to the project before admitting, “I think my regret about that movie is when I attempted to show it to my son at the time…he was far too frightened to watch it.
When the film was released, Affleck’s son, Fin, was approximately seven years old. Reflecting on the role he had to give up to become Batman, Affleck jokingly commented, “I guess I missed out on that.” More recently, in a conversation about it with his now 16-year-old son, Fin asked, “Aren’t you Batman, right? At some point, way back when,” to which Affleck replied, “Don’t worry about it.
The actor who played The Accountant 2’s Batman discussed his appreciation for the character. He emphasized that while the image of Batman in Dawn of Justice is highly iconic and legendary, the truth is that he’s getting older, past his prime, and dealing with aches and pains. Affleck mentioned that their interpretation of Batman was influenced by Frank Miller’s graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, stating, “I enjoyed playing it, and I enjoyed making it.
During the same interview, Affleck shared that he strongly disliked donning the Batman suit when discussing the upcoming film “The Flash” in 2023, and also offered his thoughts on what set Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” (2021) apart.
