The Batfleck haters are getting few and far between as we creep closer to the release of Batman v Superman, and when EW did an issue about the superhero romp, there was mentio from Ben Affleck about getting the role as Batman. He mentions how he didn’t think he was right for the role but Snyder’s vision for the character grabbed his attention. Matt Damon explains a little more about why Affleck decided to take the role as Bats. It because of that chin, right?
I talked to him about it. It was a big decision,” Damon recalled. “He knew what the stakes were. Once he was able to get Chris Terrio to write the script, I think that made the decision for him. Chris is a fantastic writer and Ben really liked Zack [Snyder], who’s directing, and it was like, ’well, I’ve got all the pieces that are necessary.’
