Ben Affleck about superhero movies and their role as Batman
Speaking to GQ magazine, AFFleck reviewed his experience in the role, deepening his previous statements that he did not enjoy interpreting him. “There are several reasons why it was a really unbearable experience,” said. “And not all have to do with the simple dynamic of, for example, being in a superhero movie or whatever. I am not interested in returning to that particular genre, not because of that bad experience, but simply because I have lost interest in what interested me.”
He continued: “Certainly I wouldn’t want to repeat such an experience. Much of this was due to a lack of alignment of agendas, understandings and expectations. And, by the way, I also did not contribute anything especially wonderful to that equation at that time. I had my own failures, important failures, in that process and at that time. “
The actor would say later that the reason for his negative memories was partly personal. “As for why I had a bad experience, part of this is that what I brought to work every day was a lot of unhappiness,” he said. “I didn’t cause problems, but I arrived, I did my job and I went home. But you have to do it a little better than that”.
When talking about problems with the shared universe, which is being restarted by James GunnAffleck commented that he felt that the characters were becoming too adult. “What happened was that it began to seem too greater for much of the public”he explained. “Even my own son at that time was too afraid to see the movie. So when I saw it, I thought: ‘Shit! We have a problem'”.
