Batman fans worried about Ben Affleck’s size

- When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, many fans were worried he just didn't have the physicality needed for the role, especially compared to Christian Bale, and Henry Cavill who would co-star with him as Superman.
Zack Snyder's vision for this Batman was that he was older, and more experienced, darker, and more of a brawler at this stage in his life. He needed to have more of a larger intimidating frame rather than a more slender athletic look.
Ben trained for a year with well known celebrity trainer Magnus Lygdback, and when combined with the new bat suit, looks superb as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the new movies.

Hey he deserves extra points for not mentioning chicken, broccoli and rice
Trenbaloney sandwiches 💉
@@R4D0101 sauced to the gills, cranked out of his tree
Star wars..... You sir are right!!! I listened very closely till the end to see if he would mention that.
@@starwarsroo2448 I don't think that's the case for Ben, I think he has just good genetics to begin with. I'm not blind to the fact that he has taken juice, but I don't think it's any closer to how much Marvel pumps their roster.
You know brocolli and rice is code for the muscle sauce?
He is the scariest Batman with his beefed up size. To see a guy that size staring at you from the top corner of a room in the shadows, scary.
batfleck would break banes back instead😂😭
@@aryankala7858 that's really a worthy comment ...
And he's like 6"5 with boots, scary stuff.
Short
Chubby Bats aint that scary, bub
The fact that Ben's physical body looks more like Batman in the comic than the other actors made me even love Batfleck man
Its because of his natural build
Ben makes a phenomenal Batman! Too bad the script writers didn’t do better.
Lol, no were close. He worse batman in history. I never seen batman look so shity. Like horrble crappy action figure from 80's.
@David B. i don't mind at all, i love BvS and other movies with Batfleck. But it was just unfortunate for him that he didn't get his solo movie. He WAS ABOUT TO tho, he even welcome Matt Reeves to his batcave, to make his solo film. But welp...
I was that person going Nooooooooo..
He happily proved me himself and everyone completely wrong.
I really liked his Batman, specially in BvS. I wish we could have more movies with Affleck's Batman and Cavill's Sups
You watched him in ZSJL, right? (I'm sure you did but just in case don't want you to miss that)
@@kryptonkandor yeah, there was a change in his character; I'm still more fan of the grim Batman from BvS than in ZSJL... which is an amazing movie, specially if compared to that monstrosity made by Warner executives and that other director in order to cash in from the super heroes genre
@@senormarston You mean Matt Reeve's The Batman? The Batman film that was made out of love and respect for the character, unlike BvS which featured The Punisher in a Batsuit...
He was perfect for the role. People keep forgetting he isn’t a year 2 Batman but a Batman who is on his last leg. And he did great
Exactly! People compare him to others and say he's out of character. They don't want to look at context. He's been in Gotham for 20yrs, and after endless defeat and loss, has lost his clear sense of morality. He's in denial that he's changed, he's in denial that he's killing people. He needs Superman for him to see what he's become and redeem himself.
@@DynestiGTI Comic batman never lost his footings, snyder clearly didn’t understand what batman was about.
@@Terrifying which comic are we talking about here? There's a lot of versions and Zack's Batman is one of them. How about read some more comic books than going to mainstream sources/websites/movies to go out of your basic knowledge. Maybe your only source is the Nolan trilogy (which is goat to this day. I have no hate on it). Another good example is Matt Reeves' The Batman, which I'll take it as what young DCEU Batman would've been in his early years.
Didn't Bruce Wayne said he was wrong at the and of BvS? Lol
@@bluetaigax1747 Affleck was based off The Dark Knight Returns but I still don’t feel like he was accurate in that respect. That Batman may have been older, but he didn’t lose his morality or kill, and he used guns, but he hated doing it.
@@kolbytriplett4644 Affleck's Batman literally lost everything even Dick Grayson. I'll count this as an elseworld Batman and one of the many versions existing including The Batman
Alot of people say he didn't workout for the role but I remember seeing paparazzi pics of him in 2014 and you could tell he had definitely bulked up
Compare him to Christian bale that’s why
@@NOTTIBOPPINtwitch Ben has an overall larger frame than Bale though and his significantly taller and as someone who liked Bale in the role I honestly preferred Ben's look over Christians but that's just me
@@DonnieCBearDown ben looks more like the old cartoon with him being all bulky and bale is more like the game and comics. Ben looks just like flash point Batman
🙄🤔Are you sure you're not confusing him with Robert Pattinson?🤨
@@NOTTIBOPPINtwitch I thought it looked like Ben kinda dirty bulked and just got as strong as he could but I like Bales physique in Batman Begins and Afflecks in BvS the most but that's just me oh and did you mean Flashpoint Batman? I can see that
The only batman who actually looks like BATMAN.
cap
Yes thank you!
true!! i hope alan ritchson replace him as batman
EVERY ACTOR WHO PLAYED BATMAN LOOKS LIKE BATMAN 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
yuck@@yes0011
The fight scenes hands down are the best in a batman movie up to date. Ben deserves a solo batman movie. So underrated.
The heck? He is one of the closest to Batman physical appearance in fact I think he was perfect for the role; it just bad scrips didn’t make justice for him to show off as Batman
Yes, absolutely.
well when it comes to an older batman yea
I respect that statement he could have been the best Batman
@@zenith6348 Batman in general.
@@pizza-mana.k.a.pizzaparker3615 Wdym?
Ben was the Batman that I didn't know I needed.
And, made a pretty decent Bruce Wayne too!
Lol same! He turned out to be my favorite live action adaptation of the caped crusader, love it!
Not the batman we needed but the chad we deserved
If only he had his own solo movie and didn't kill/use guns in BvS, he would have been the undisputed BEST live-action Batman
One of my favorite Batmen honestly. He needs more screen time
Damn, you feel that sigh at the end. Respect.
Ben's Batman was a beast! Really hope he gets a solo movie
Oh, it's coming...its coming 💪💪💪!
He still is the Batman of the dceu
@@DopeitsG4 He is still DCEU'S Batman, it is confirmed that Cavill, Gal Gadot and Affleck are gonna be in a movie together soon and it's suppose to be a 'trinity' movie.
Mostly the bat suit.he lacked lower body.
Ahahaha, brilliant 😅
Clearly a good amount of the people who didn’t like Ben’s physique have never read The Dark Knight Returns, which was what Snyder were going for.
I think he nailed it. I had my doubts at first, but I respect everything he put into the role.
@@owie4070 Same. I thought he was a solid Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Well said
I love how Zach Snyder liked him for batman the same way David Fincher liked him for gone girl
It's a shame he didn't just stick to the source material
He really represents frank Miller batman
This was the most comic accurate *Batman* we ever got
I think Ben even before playing Batman was physically the biggest actor to play Batman
Yeah can’t teach height. If he didn’t workout much and had more of his daredevil body he’d still look kinda big next to bale imo
He is big compared to what the screen shows him as. He's always been next to some fairly tall actors, and when he wasn't, it's very clear he's a big man.
@@caiusmadison2996His friend Matt Damon is 4 inches shorter than him
Ngl, he pleasantly surprised the shit outta me
Yeah same! On my list he's one of the best to play the character. I'd hoped he'd do a few more films
I knew he was gonna nail it after watching The Town.
I also had low expectations but he did pretty decent. People can hate him all they want but he put in work.
I remember when he was announced. Everyone was doubting him but I knew his capabilities as an actor and quite frankly, he looked like Bruce Wayne from the comics. People just get pissy whenever Batman is cast.
I can’t say he surprised me, as I believed him to be the perfect casting from the very beginning.
That being said, I appreciate open-minded people, who give things a chance like that, such as yourself. Don’t see a lot of that these days, & it’s worthy commendation. Well done. I throw props, in your direction.
Batfleck is my favourite version of Batman, the his look is SO imposing even without the Batmech suit, his regular suit looks amazing and I’m so glad Affleck got to show off all his hard work in the workout scene 👏👏👏
When I first saw that he was going to be Batman I got really happy. I think he's very underrated.
I agree.
He is not under rated. Why do every commenters feel the need to put ‘under rated’ in popular things?
@@ashishhembrom3905 He's underrated for sure! He's popular for being termed as the bad batman. "Underrated", here, is used to convey the contrary of such popular negative opinions. Stop correcting people based on your mundane expertise!
@@phoenix22368 if he was under rated, he would have been switched immediately by the director, producers, studio, etc. If you want to know what Under rated really is, then look up Heath Ledger. He blew up after The Dark Knight and after his death but people literally didn’t know who he was even though he won awards before Nolan signed him up and also partially the reason why Nolan signed him up. Now that’s called underrated. So please excuse me from your dead ass rotten water melon of a brain because your entire existence is a burden not only to multi cellular organisms but single cell organisms and your own parents.
@BULLY MAGUIRE sm just wish his Batman didn’t kill
I loved Bens Batman, in a lot of ways he looks the most like Batman than any other character, and his physique was spot on.
Exactly. When I heard BA was going to be Batman I said he's perfect. He's tall he's got the build and he can act. He could be Bruce Wayne and the Bat and he pulled it off as well as anyone else has. He made an awesome aging Batman.
He was a amazing Batman! Wish he would come back and make a Batman movie!!
He was great as batman 💪🙌
That's why he's my favorite Batman actor.
Kevin Conroy will always be my Batman...but live action, Batfleck gets it.
That is very true
Me 2
He’s my favourite Batman. The most experienced Batman ever televised
Definitely the best batman we ever had. He was genuinely terrifying
So the Bruce Wayne Zack Synder was going for was the real life version of Ben Affleck 😂
My favorite Batman tbh I loved his version
Batfleck's fight scene at the warehouse is the best Batman fight scene in live action.
He was awesome as Batman wish we got a movie solo movie with him
I will always remember the batman scene from the warehouse towards the end of BvS. I felt like I was watching Arkham batman on screen 🙌🙌🙌
That one scene made him my favourite batman on its own.
That one scene completely ruined Batman's character... He literally killed those mfs. Zack Snyder is a terrible director and he doesn't get Batman or Superman smh
Jk/Gotcha 😈😉
@@xSKY23 I always interpreted those kills as confirmation for batman, since he did promise Superman that his mother wouldn’t die that day. I get what u r saying, that’s just how I connected the dots in my head at least 🤷♂️
@@killerdebit5709 I was joking 😭 just mocking comic book fans who always go "I guess you don't read the comics"
@@xSKY23 o I gotcha 😂👌
His sigh at the end really describes his thoughts on the whole process 😂
He did a TRENmendous job for his physique
I'd say it was more DBOL and Test but who knows he got pretty bulky and watery looking but he looked like that older thicker Frank Miller bruiser Batman they were going for
He's an Awesome Batman. Straight From Frank Milllers Run. Love that he's Returning
He's Returning?!!
would be awesome if he did return, his batman needs a proper standalone movie
@@isaiah6912 I know Cavill is returning but Ben Affleck?
It's a shame because he could have been the best batman if those movies had competent writers and is still my favourite Bruce Wayne honestly.
Chris Terrio is a genius!
He is back
Chris Terrio killed it with the script. If you though this was supposed to be a Batman in his prime, or that he was the hero in the story, then you just misunderstood, not the writers.
@@DynestiGTI well said, they gotta pay attention to the story next time. That's one thing I hate about the criticisms of that movie, people just not paying attention
His characterization was amazing
That "nooooooo" was my reaction as well, until I saw him in the role. That performance earned my respect.
He and Henry really did good for their hero roles. Both look the part perfectly.
Dude he was the perfect Batman !
He is now my favorite version of batman
phenomenal batman, Affleck is.
I mean I give the DC and Marvel actors props for getting buff where as the guy who plays Homelander didnt work out at all just gets in a muscle suit lol when Jensen Ackles got buff for soldier boy he was teasing him about "dude you didn't have to work out just ask for a muscle suit" 😅
Ben is my favorite version of Batman so far.
That noooooooooooo was probably me.
He deserves credit, he was a great Batman.
Honestly I feel like he was one of the best Batmans visually and even in terms of his acting, he just got shafted with a bunch of bad scripts and reshoots and the whole mess of it all
The scripts were great.
@@jeibal02 they were not
The snyder cut tried to rectify some of it....some of it...
@@adrianbaldoni9485 The script for Batman was amazing idk what you mean
@@danielsmith9130 the snyder cut wasn't trying to rectify BvS, that was the entire fucking point... listen to Chris Terrio's interviews, it was always intended for Batman to have a redemption arc.
He was perfect for the role!
Perfect Batman he deserves a solo movie
I did not like it,,, but Ben changed my mind ,, he was a great Batman 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah I really didn't want him for the role when I first heard but he actually did amazing on it.
I've always wanted a Batman movie with just him after seeing BvS, I like the digitized voice too
Ben & Matt had a grip on me since Dogma. They’re amazing actors & Bens size was perfect for Batman - as soon as I heard, I was like “he’s going to look great in the bat suit!”
He looked like Batman from The Dark Knight Returns graphic novels. He looked great!
I was one of the doubters when I first saw the announcement, but man after seeing him in action he literally became my favorite version of Batman on film ever. I honestly believe if he got the chance to do his solo film proper, majority of people would see him as the definitive Batman. There's just no way a film with him and Deathstroke would be bad. Especially after the brutality we saw in BvS. I hope to god we get his film someday before he's too old.
Maybe doubters still has the stench of Daredevil on their mind.
That was literally the first thing I thought of when I heard the original announcement. I agreed with the "nooooo" sentiment entirely, however I thought he did a great job,
I liked Daredevil!
I liked DareDevil
@@jimbobjunior. Yeah the show was really good I liked it too!
@@xSKY23 i see what you did there! But you well know I was talking about the movie! Although the show was great alright!
"im clearly your man" 💀
Honestly coming from someone who has worked out almost there entire life. It is a very tough and brutal life style man. Eating like that to be able to burn it off It truly takes dedication time and above all else the drive! And the want to be that big has to be more powerful than anything else. Trust me I use to work out for 5 hours just straight going in.. Monday through Friday with cardio and leg days heavy on the weekends. I was big.. I felt incredible. But man does it take a toll after a while.
My favorite Batman ever such a shame we didnt get to see more of him
Well he's coming back so enjoy that.
We will now. He's back
He is back Iam so happy
Any day now, an actors just going to say "hard work, nutritionist, trainer, and a doctor for the right steroids" and everyone will love them for it
Rob from It's Always Sunny practically did
At least trt
not everything is steroid, i achieved this within a year and not so consistent, my cousin, same, as we worked out together.

@Noo So much is genetics, and people don’t like to hear that. I was 178 lbs. and 5’11” when I started a weight lifting class my junior year of high school. I didn’t do anything but just lift as heavy as I could and keep lifting, but I also swam a lot and played tennis, and ran for warm ups. I was 212 at the end of my junior year, and I had 11% body fat overall but 8% on my abs and arms, etc.
Part of that is age, but the muscle part is my genetics. My dad held up a car while his friend changed a tire because the woman didn’t have a jack. He was 5’8” but broad and dense with muscle just by doing a lot of physical exercise outside all the time. I do think he was still a Green Beret when he held the car up. It was a VW Bug, but still….
I was 16-17 and it was 1990/1991, and I have never had access to any supplements. I have a lot of big and very strong people in my family. German, Scandinavian, etc. Anyway, a year of lifting heavy and eating great and doing cardio can do that for sole people.
I had a friend in that same weight lifting class who lifted as much as he could, but he just got lean and wiry muscle and super cut (much more than me), but he couldn’t lift half what I could or gain much mass. Those were his genetics. I wanted to be more like him, and he wanted to be like me.
Also, thanks for your service. I was in the r Army, and even running five miles or more every day, lifting often, and doing a lot of patrols in Iraq, I still didn’t drop below 197 lbs. at 5’11”, but looked lean. I just weigh more than other people, usually 20 lbs. more than people the same height who look the same. I would look anorexic at 170 lbs.
The training scene in BatmanVSuperman was all I needed! NAILED IT! All the other Batman/Bruce Wayne actors were puny compared the Affleck. Pattinson looked like the Nightwing version of Batman.
I remembered him from the DareDevil movie but still wasn't so sure about him doing Batman. Fast forward to now and he's my definitive Frank Miller's Dark Knight (which is as definitive as Batman can ever be to me!).
Highly underrated Batman. He’s easily the Batman looking Batman there’s been
He had the best physic outta all the Batmans ngl
Batfleck was one of my favorite Batmen!!
He's by far the most comic accurate Batman.
facts
Correct, even if he killed people, he’s the best one, and that’s saying a lot.
@@brandenmarcum430 Keaton Batman killed people too yet most fans love him anyway. Bale Batman wasn't a straight up killer but he let people die that he could have easily saved. Clooney Batman wasn't a killer. Period. But somehow he's the one most people hate. 😁 So I guess the point is, comic accuracy isn't that important where killing is concerned.
@@brandenmarcum430 yeah but he isnt the one writting script so aslong as the actor goes he was the best so far
@@jerm5 except Bale straight up killed in EVERY one of the Dark Knight trilogy but yeah lol
I honestly really loved his Batman and wished we got more of him in the role
Batfleck is my favourite Batman so far
He’s definitely my favorite looking Batman. Just fits the suit very well. I wanna see him in his own movie tho. If he can carry the justice league movies, then I reckon he’d do pretty well solo. Maybe. Idk lol
I like the way this Batman looks, what I dislike is the casual killing scene where he pulls the trigger and blows up a car with people inside(scene from Batman v Superman) the rest of the character I can see as a very dark version of Batman which makes sense as this Batman was inspired by the dark knight returns series Batman who was old and brutal but one aspect that remained about that version of the character is the no killing rule, meanwhile it appears from this one scene and the other scene where he shoots the guy with the flamethrower that this Batman doesn’t really care for his one rule anymore. Ben afleck did great with the character he was told to play and I think he’d do great as the Batman but this version of Batman is where I take issue with and that isn’t the actors fault that’s the writers fault. Now I never watched the Snyder cut but I have seen clips and it’s not my favorite incarnation of the justice league, it doesn’t really live up to the standards set by the animated series in my opinion, but maybe my expectations are too high. If Snyder was going for a much darker more semi-realistic version of the dc universe he did that pretty well.
@@urticantspoon9960 in the original comics his rule didn’t really matter either do some research
@@milagomez55 I know In the OG it didn’t matter, he had a gun on the bat plane and shot people down, shot at people with handguns, then the comic book people decided Batman can’t use guns. Then the next 60 years of comic books came out exploring the generic character of Batman who has a no kill rule, an “I don’t like guns” rule, and depending on the incarnation of the character may or may not be fine with shattering a thugs collar bone and/or giving traumatic brain injuries. My comment points to the ANIMATED SERIES as a reference for a reason. I grew up watching re runs of it, and I liked that Batman, I liked that flash, I liked that Superman. I thought Wonder Woman smashing things was cool, my tiny child brain enjoyed it. And so I have rose tinted glasses towards it like another million or so people. I did not like snyders version of Batman, he looked cool and awesome and some of the stuff he did was ripped out of comics, two incidents from Batman v Superman were not. Also before someone brings it up aliens have generally been excluded from Batman’s no killing rule at least in animation from what I remember seeing. I’m pretty sure explosions kill. But the Batman my brain automatically compares every Batman I ever see to is from the animated series if i say it doesn’t live up to that, then in my opinion, OPINION, it doesn’t live up to that. “We’ll get off the internet opinions aren’t welcome here” I got that, goodbye, I get that my opinion gets attacked a lot I’m tired of people pointing out the same stuff every time as if I haven’t even bothered watching a video that gives a summary/history of a character when I have and I did fact check via google. If you think they’re lying grab your tinfoil hat.
I personally like him,who wants a skinny Batman
Christian Bale probably would have gotten big too if they didn't tell him he needed to get smaller for the suit
@@VVguy1 Yah Christian is literally the master when it comes to body change, guess they were too cheap to fit him properly.
@@Ahahahhaaah he literally got too big for the suit and they made him slim down shit is insane
@@VVguy1 he actually did, Nolan told him he needed to drop some of that muscle so bale could fit into the batsuit
The way he first appeared on the wall in Batman vs. Superman Dawn Of Justice was so scary. His size was scary.🔥
my childhood hero is batman and even i am old enough to say that still batman is my hero until one day i thought that i wanna be like him then i rush to the roof as quickly as i can and that moment i was so excited and proud to tell, shout & yell everybody on ground that batman is my greatest hero and jump on top of the roof .. then i realized it was too late .. that batman never really knew how to fly though !!!
I thought the point was supposed to be Batman was older and bulkier
Man did stood up to the role
His solo Batman movie would have been the best depiction to date.
Zack got inspiration from the dark knight returns comic which makes sense given the look of the bat suit and his old age
He is my favorite Batman and to be honest I wish he would have done that Solo Film, he would have been a Beast!!!!
Probably my favourite Batman visually.
Batfleck being batfleck 😂🔥🔥🔥
One of the best batman...the suit was awesome
He was straight massive, which is another similarity between Snyderverse Batman and Dark Knight Returns Batman.
He's my favorite Batman, and I've been reading Batman comics since the' 70s
My favorite batman, with my favorite Superman. I'd love to see them together again and really wish he would reconsider making his solo Batman film.
He's one of the best batman i never liked batman idk why but when i saw ben affleck as batman i fall in love with batman He look so badass nd fearsome
He looked great as Batman. He looked like the Arkham asylum version
They should have done MoS 2 and stand-alone Batman movie instead of BvS
“I’m clearly your man!” 😂 You got me. lol
They said the same thing about Chris Pratt voicing Mario while not knowing he honors Lou Albano’s voice of the late 80’s cartoons. The OG voice of Mario.
The fight in the warehouse was the best Batman scene ever filmed
In all honesty his self depreciating sense of humor was awesome to see 😆 the fact Ben took it lightly but worked his ass off to get Into shape for the role was excellent in of itself. Ben actually has the ability to play a good Batman he just needs an actual script and Role to pull it off
Im was also one of those people who underestimate him so much, but then all of that is gone when I saw the BvS
I was like "wow, he is amazing"
Seeing how I'm an 80s baby I was a Keaton fan through and through until bvs that changed it right then and there hands down Ben Affleck is the best Batman to ever play the role he is Batman the fact that he got into shape to play the role just makes it even better because he did not have to wear a muscle suit like some actors
I like how he almost started breaking down reliving his hellish workout regimen.
I love him as Batman & he's always my favourite Bataffleck character
B.A played Bruce wayne/batman well. violent asf too.perfect
I don’t think you’ll ever see this comment Ben. But as a huge Batman fan, and one of the very few people who loves your version of Daredevil, you absolutely killed it as an older, grumpier, fit Batman! Cheers sir!! The warehouse scene, still is the best Batman action scene ever!!
THIS!!! That warehouse scene was prime bats! And if you had the directors cut of DD you got to see more of the good Protector of hells kitchen.
I love him as Batman . More plz
One year is a very impressive time for such physique.... Considering he is not juiced up to the gills like other celebrities.
Batffleck was amazing, even for the short time that he was around. I've heard what kind of Batman Zack was going for and now I can't stop myself from wanting a "The Dark Knight Returns" type of live action movie with Ben Affleck (if they could make him look even older). You can see many simarities in BvS and TDKR, but a full solo movie by Snyder and Batffleck? A dream that will probably not come true
I think even in interviews he's got a bit of a Bruce Wayne thing about him. At least the way i think of Bruce. A sort of fun-loving guy, who whole heartedly jumps into things but is intelligent with it. 😄
I think he did an excellent job! Him, Bale, Keaton and Patterson as the young batman just coming into being The Bat was very VERY good.. Especially since he said he channeled Kurt Cobain that's why Nirvana was played so much in the movie...
Twice
The best Batman in my opinion, he's perfect for the BVS arc. He also looks the same as the Batman vs Superman in the dark knight returns. Affleck's batman is really a veteran, experienced, near retirement batman which is really badass.
I knew he was going to be a good fit for the role. I'd seen him in daredevil and knew he had the size, I heard he was bulking up. That was all he needed.
