    I'll never get why people mug off Affleck. The guy won an Oscar for co-writing a screenplay. He directed The Town which was critically acclaimed and Argo which won best picture. He proved all the doubters wrong when he played Batman and is in fact one of the best realisations of that character. I've always liked the guy since Mallrats so I am always happy when he is doing well and really hope to see Batfleck on screen again.

      I write this even as a largely unsuccessful actor: when working on even small films it becomes quickly clear to anyone paying attention to the production dimensions that MANY things have to be executed well by other people in order for the actors to succeed, and even more things have to be done for the film to succeed. Affleck talks at several points here about his early interest in making (and not just acting in) films, which means he would rightfully downplay the focus on any individual actor's role (including himself).

      BvS wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't Affleck's fault. It was ruined in post-production by studio heads instead of allowing the original directors vision (like most of the Fox, Universal, WB, w/e Superhero movies of pre-Marvel), the set-up was rushed, and there was way too much Martha. Most people praised Affleck and liked the fact that it was a different, more grizzled version of Batman than we'd seen before.

    The sad thing is, that even though Ben says, that he lost the drive to direct and star in The Batman, you can clearly see how much he loves the character and how much passion he put in playing him. It`s unfair, that we won`t get to see his full potential as Batman. Even so I`m glad, that Ben`s getting better. He is a good actor and a director and he didn`t deserve a lot of stuff he got in a last couple of years...
