Ben Affleck Speaks Out On The Batman Controversy! “I Handle Shit! I’m Very Tough”
Ben Affleck was out and about on Jimmy Fallon last night and he was asked about the Batman backlash…
What did Ben have to say… “I handle shit…”
Okay…
He went on…
“The people from the studio were like ‘We’re thrilled… and listen we want to talk to you because people go through this process and it can be a little trying.’”
Adding…
“I said… ‘I handle shit,’ you know what I mean – I’m very tough. So I saw the announcement I look at the first comment and it’s like ‘Ben Affleck is going to be Batman’ and the first one goes ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!’ I’m like… kids we’re going to be Luddites now.”
Ben said he did have reservations taking on the role…
“I thought ‘Well I’m not 25 man and are you sure about this?’ And they said come down we want to show you what we’re doing and it was incredible… Zach (Snyder) had this incredible take on it. Obviously you can’t do what Christian [Bale] did those movies are awesome, amazing so he wants to do something different but still in keeping with that so I thought I, … This is a brilliant way to do this, I really know how to hook into this.’”
Still not sold on Benman but you know… It’ll be interesting nonetheless!

I like him a lot better after that interview. Perhaps without seeing/knowing the script, we can’t make a fair judgment. I’m basing it on his past work. Still, who knew Heath Ledger would give a performance that will be talked about lifetimes from now?
