Ben Affleck reflects on the “excruciating experience” playing Batman in the Zack Snyder movies: “A lot of it was misalignment of agendas, understandings, expectations”

Ben Affleck says he didn’t exactly have the best time playing Batman in the former DCEU.

“There are a number of reasons why that was a really excruciating experience, and they don’t all have to do with the simple dynamic of, say, being in a superhero movie or whatever,” Affleck told GQ. “I am not interested in going down that particular genre again, not because of that bad experience, but just: I’ve lost interest in what was of interest about it to me. But I certainly wouldn’t want to replicate an experience like that. A lot of it was misalignment of agendas, understandings, expectations.”
