Ben Affleck had a wonderful time playing Bruce Wayne and Batman in 2016's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', but not so much in its sequel, 'Justice League'

. "They said, 'Would you like to direct and star in a solo Batman movie?' And I found that, at some point, I had lost my enthusiasm or passion for it. And I thought this should really be made by someone who for whom it's their wildest dream come true. It was clear to me it was time to move on.

"was not received well by fans or critics and was considered a box office bomb, and for months Affleck's continued involvement in Batman was in question, until he, starring Robert Pattinson with Matt Reeves writing and directing is due in theaters June 25, 2021.

Well it seems mutual. Ben Affleck seemed disenchanted and I'm sure the studio was wanting someone more energetic and younger.

It definitely looked and seemed that way. Dawn of Justice seemed ok but man Justice League was embarrassing. It goes beyond the CGI mustache removal. The whole movie seemed like a drag for all parties involved.

JL was plagued by interfering, ruthless, heartless, lying, power pissed studio heads. I think they saw ZackSnyder’s assembly cut, knew he turned it up a notch and got worried HIS movie would be big because they wanted rid of him. What ensued was awful! ReleaseTheSnyderCut

It’s been over 2 years. Can we move on please?

we have a better time when we knew he is not acting Batman Anymore 🌹

This guy is responsible geoffjohns ReleaseTheSnyderCut

WB execs interventions with production drove him away from an otherwise great project. Hopefully WB can clear the situation and DC Snyderverse can continue with Zack, Batfleck, Henry and all the others... ReleasetheSnyderCut

Thanks a lot Geoff Johns lol

Those “one problem after another” go by the names of Tsujihara, Emmerich, Johns & Whedon (and probably a few more?). If they’d have just let ZackSnyder & BenAffleck do their thing the fans wouldn’t be asking for a movie we never got. ReleaseTheSnyderCut warnerbros ATT ✌🏼

Translation WB burn him out with their bad decisions

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

BTW BenAffleck was the best Batman ever 🖤 So grateful for his run! ReleaseTheSnyderCut TheWayBack

Awful Batman. Boring.

'One problem after another' ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Much love Ben! You're awesome!

Zack Snyder's Justice League isn't yet released. We wait for it now to be released. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

U guys always hated the dc movies and Zack Snyder so whatever

RTSnyderCut ReleaseTheSnyderCut

RTSnyderCut Obviously, rewriting, reshoots, lies and studio interference. I can't wait for the Zack Snyder's Justice League. wbpictures BenAffleckIsOurBatman ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Because Of Aholes like these 👇ReleaseTheSnyderCut ZackSnydersJusticeLeague wbpictures

Water is wet

It has been over two years and I'm still mad

wbpictures and joss really screwd everything! BenAffleck loved working with ZackSnyder ! ReleaseTheSnyderCut

I have a feeling if ZackSnyder & BenAffleck where given free reign from warnerbros wbpictures WarnerMediaGrp to finish off the final 2 movies in Zack’s arc Ben would consider returning. I know Ben said he’s done but if Zack was back for it maybe Ben would join him. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, no shit ReleaseTheSnyderCut

And we all know why he’s not enthusiastic about JL. He absolutely loved working w/ ZackSnyder on BvS but when Tsujihara & Co. did the dirty on Zack during a terrible time Ben lost all heart in WB. WB then butchered the movie & we all know how joss made BenAffleck look in JL.

But not on Josstice League... Ohhh why can that be that 🤔 ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Yeah I’m pretty sure we could figure out some of the problems. Mostly studio interference and reshoots that were subpar honestly. Let’s see Affleck’s true performance. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Ben's loyal like Keaton once the director was gone so was he.

ReleaseTheSnyderCut DCEU JusticeLeague

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Stop whining, Ben. The checks cleared.

Affleck didn't seem happy with the critical reception to Batman V Superman.. but at least he believed in that story Snyder was telling. Unfortunately, BvS wasn't the big hit it needed to be and WB changed the plans. If it had, I think things would be very different for DC films.

_Paul_P great interview all around. loved hearing him talk about his minor and major roles from school ties to TheWayBack ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Am i the only one who would like to see a Non Dc film with him and Henry Cavill? Or him and Gal Gadot?

ReleaseTheSnyderCut 214 wbpictures

No shit. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Y’all bashed BvS to hell and made things difficult for the director and the cast

I haven't seen Justice League since it came out but I have to admit I didn't think it was bad. A bit light-hearted next to Batnolan and BvS movies but perfectly watchable. It seems any superhero movie that isn't a 4 or 5 star classic is immediately slammed by fans.

He’s not the first to have a problem with joss Whedon

ben Affleck is an idiot, no wonder he had a great time in BVS, because the film focuses only on him, while in Justice League he gets his ass kicked all the time like an old sock 😂😂😂

Damn he sounds so happy remembering Batman v Superman. wbpictures you need to ReleaseTheSnyderCut already.

Great then, let's rewrite history once and for all. Scrap the DC trashverse and re-instate Zack Snyder. Give him full creative control as the Kevin Feige of the DCEU. ReleasetheSnyderCut and greenlight the Batfleck vs Deathstroke movie. Audiences are waiting...

Wonder what was the difference between those two movies. Maybe because one was helmed by a talented, driven, helpful director while the other was destroyed by talentless Whedon? The most important thing is: thank you Ben for being MY Batman. ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Oh wow I can’t imagine why

During the reshoots by Whedon and Johns, you mean. He was having fun during principal photography. Now ReleaseTheSnyderCut so we can see the real thing.

Undo these mistakes, wbpictures You still have time ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Yep RESHOOTS & studio interference. Please allow art to be art ReleaseTheSnyderCut

I as a fan also disliked seeing his Batman being shit all over and being used as comic relief. I much preferred when the bad guys were TERRIFIED of him ReleaseTheSnyderCut

ReleaseTheSnyderCur ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

MrProduction8 they need to make good with the people they wronged and the fans ReleaseTheSnyderCut

C'mon warnerbros ReleaseTheSnyderCut

He is my favorite Batman, can't wait to see him in Zack Snyder's Justice League 😎 ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Yes we clearly can see that on the movie

sskaran54 “Josstice league” We have yet to see Justice League Hence ReleaseTheSnyderCut

All thanks to 🐍, joss and wbpictures

GEE, I WONDER WHY 🤦‍♂️

The first problem was scheduling JL to start filming so close to BvSs release. Didn’t have room to breathe after the reaction to BvS and had them scrambling.

He was such a great Batman and you could tell he was proud of his performance in BvS and Zack's JL before the tragedy struck.

The best batman

when he is ready he will return
