But for any fans who believe Ben Affleck is the correct answer, it\u2019s time to be disappointed. The 49-year-old actor reiterated in a recent interview that his most recent appearance as Batman is going to be his last.<\/p>\n<p>Affleck made the comments during an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldsun.com.au\/lifestyle\/smart\/the-tender-bar-star-ben-affleck-on-figuring-out-batman-and-life\/news-story\/c722c23d68d8403446cbcd59f676a82c\">Herald Sun<\/a>. During the conversation, the celeb discussed how filming for \u201cThe Flash,\u201d an upcoming DC superhero movie, put an end to his run after lots of ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p>He said filming \u201cJustice League\u201d with Joss Wheadon was, \u201ca very, very, very hard experience\u201d that led to a relapse in drinking and a lot of stress that eventually ended his involvement in the solo \u201cBatman\u201d movie, which the actor was planning to write, direct, and star in. But Affleck went on to say filming scenes for \u201cThe Flash\u201d went much better and \u201cput a really nice finish on my experience with that character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never said this \u2013 this is hot off the presses \u2013 but maybe my favorite scenes in terms of Batman and the interpretation of Batman that I have done, were in the Flash movie,\u201d the actor said. \u201cI hope they maintain the integrity of what we did because I thought it was great and really interesting \u2013 different, but not in a way that is incongruent with the character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Affleck\u2019s turn as the Caped Crusader has been riddled with controversy, which probably has a lot to do with why the actor chose to walk away forever. When the A-lister was cast in \u201cBatman v Superman\u201d in 2013, comic fans made their true opinions known, and it wasn\u2019t pretty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hurt,\u201d Affleck told The Howard Stern Show at the time, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/dc\/news\/ben-affleck-says-he-was-hurt-by-batman-casting-backlash\/\">comicbook.com<\/a>. \u201cI was less hurt than I would\u2019ve been 10 years earlier. But I was hurt because I felt like \u2018Wait a minute, come on. What do I got to do to\u2019 you know what I mean? Like, I\u2019m just you know, like, \u2018Jesus Christ\u2019\u2026I thought it was an interesting idea but you know what? I also realized at that point\u2026it\u2019s gonna be, \u2018Now this turns into a petition.\u2019 Now they got this thing, everybody\u2019s going to do a petition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cYou\u2019re really \u2013 a hundred thousand [signatures], you signed a f***ing petition like, you have anything better to do with your day than sign petitions? But, ironically, the reason I did this is I wanted to do a movie for my kids, particularly my son, that they would see and be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The movie got terrible reviews but audiences weren\u2019t as scandalized by Affleck\u2019s performance personally. Eventually, even they came around to the idea of the \u201cGood Will Hunting\u201d alum portraying the classic comic book character. However, now Affleck is done with superhero movies and \u201cIP,\u201d as he put it, and will be focusing on smaller projects in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Flash\u201d is scheduled to debut in theaters on November 4, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
