Ben Affleck Talks Landing Batman Role and Wanting to Direct a Blockbuster! (Batman Solo Movie)

Ben Affleck on landing the role:

On Bruce Wayne:

He really keeps up the image of the playboy, actively. So you have more of a dichotomy which I thought was really fun, and a little sad, like the aging playboy.

Why he chose to do it:

I thought if I was going to direct a movie like this, which I would like to do at some point, I need to have something of a refresher course of how these movies are done.
