‘No thought given to the human being’: Ben Affleck says he hated his ‘horrendous’ Batman suit
The actor, who took on the role in 2016 for box office let-down Batman v Superman, said the uncomfortable costume ‘made it difficult to make the movie’
Affleck said that even highly trained stunt performers found it difficult to wear the suit for long periods. Affleck’s Batsuit, designed by Oscar-nominated costume designer Michael Wilkinson and built by Jose Fernandez and Ironhead Studio, was reportedly made from multiple layers of Lycra and foam, taking Affleck around 25 minutes to get into it, with up to six costume assistants helping. Affleck’s Batsuit is not the first to attract criticism, with the “nipple suit” George Clooney wore for Batman & Robin in 1997 often cited as one of the reasons for the film’s poor performance.
