Zack Snyder Explains Why Ben Affleck’s Batman Casting Was Perfect

Is Ben Affleck the perfect Batman? Zack Snyder breaks down why he prefers Affleck’s version of the Caped Crusader over different actors such as Christian Bale.

During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Snyder explained he wanted Affleck as Batman because he was bigger than prior actors like Christian Bale, giving him a scary aura that captivates fans. While Affleck did make an appearance in The Flash, James Gunn and Peter Safran are set on recasting every member of Zack Snyder’s Justice League to avoid confusion for their new DC Universe. Of course, Ben Affleck wouldn’t be able to return as Batman due to the nature of the medium, but it could mean the potential for fans to see the story of his incarnation of the character come to a close in the way it was always meant to.
