“Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win but they say you lost” ain’t that the truth
Loved that alright.
@@mauricer.robinsonjr.636 lol yeah ok buddy whatever u say
@@mauricer.robinsonjr.636 troll
Sometimes you make Daredevil.....
On a serious note he has a ton of great stuff.
He yearns for the days of celebrity worship. And a public that falls for their publicists puppeteering.
No Gone Girl?!?!?!? That's an oscar worthy movie right there
it's an incredible movie... but there's nothing iconic about his character.
That’s what I’ve been thinking!^ the movie itself was great but his character wasn’t anything crazy
Same for Armageddon though and that was mentioned
@@joshmciver4847 he gave a great performance though. Definitely one of his best. It wasn't the most showy role but it definitely was very nuanced & showed how much Ben Affleck had improved as an actor & his movie choices & the stories he wanted to tell & the performances he wanted to give. I'd say Gone Girl led him on that path.
@Josh McIver what and his performance in School Ties is? Void argument
Ben Affleck’s energy is really great here. He really comes off as genuine, excited and grateful
ever heard of acting?
He does, but I'll admit, I am biased.
Btw, also a huge fan of yours. Love love love your comedy. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That's actually part of addiction recovery; being intensely grateful for the things in your life, good or bad.
I thought he seemed Manic..... or on Coke
he really having fun and his humor is fun
Ben: "Justice League, you know was touched..."
Everyone who watched it: "We know Ben, we know..."
Yeah I'll give him props, he stayed professional the whole way through.
@@Altron01S2 He is a class act and sounds very humble, genuine and passionate about the craft.
Wait what was wrong? What happened with justice league because I haven’t watched it
@@muntyal-bazaz2663 Zack Snyder was the original director of the movie, then he left in mid production because his daughter passed away. The WB hired Joss Whedon to finish it but he ended up changing Zack's story....long story short, the result was...horrible and fans had to call for Zack's version to be released, which was the case this year, and it was a hundered times better than the movie theater version. There you go !
@@muntyal-bazaz2663 as metalloulou's said i recommended you to watch the josstice version first and then watch the snydercut
i assure you will....Holyy sh.... whats wrong with the guys who make first one!
I’m really happy how Ben wasn’t afraid to mention his personal issue of being a alcoholic and not shying away form being honest about it. Shows how far he’s gone since his downfall.
Same! It's interesting and kinda sad, that his voice changed so much and I just can't get out of my head that this has something to do with all the stuff that he has gone through...
This is such a bizarre sentence to use on a complete stranger.
@@nomad6218 Robert Downey Jr, Robin Williams, Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, Matthew Perry, Charlie Sheen (in a way) and so on.. You're too quick calling someone a "prick"
@ I think he is smoking
He's needs to come to understanding how ignorant he is like he was on Bill Maher show
Many people seem to forget that he directed and starred in a movie that won BEST PICTURE
What movie?
@@ethanslawson4912 Argo
yeah. People just find mistakes .They ignore victories
I saw ARGO in he cinema and I swear on my life, when it ended I said to myself "That's going to win Best Picture..."
While this is true, I hate "based on a true story" movies because they are full of inaccuracies. Including Argo. Its a shame.
I blame Joss Wedon for Ben’s loss of passion for the Character.
Yep
@CPM3 true
Zack recently said Ben had fun playing the role again in some shooting for the synder cut
@@veidt128 he respects zack and enjoys working with him as he likes his vision, I really liked his batman and zack's universe
@CPM3 what did Geoff do
you can see his passion talking about Batman vs Superman to the point that 90% of the conversation of BvS/JL is about BvS.
I love how they skipped over a whole decade of his career, also not including Gone Girl is criminal I think that is one of his best performances.
Gone Girl and Accountant. They skipped both 🙄
And Voyage of the Mimi
@@Djcristianbaca 1
Gone Girl is depressing
Yeah I was hoping they'd cover Daredevil and his involvement with Feast.
Good Will Hunting is still one of the most intelligently written, acted movies I ever watched. still appreciate it so much.
James Sweeney it’s actually my favorite movie
For sure. If it did more showing than telling, it would be in my top ten for sure!
Terrell Grant it’s up there for me. Top 5 any time I talk movies regardless of genre.
Good Will Hunting is a great movie but now go watch Ordinary People, it's really similar. It was obviously an inspiration for them.
GWH but Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on the map in Hollywood. It’s incredible to me how maybe the best movie of their careers was one of the first ones they ever did.
You can tell how much he hesitated talking about josstice league. Ben is goated.
Yeah I think some of it is everything that happened to the movie but also how he was mentally (and physically) at the time, it might be hard to look back on that time
Wait what was wrong? Why did he hesitate talking about justice league? What was wrong about it
@@muntyal-bazaz2663 the original director dropped out mid-production because of a death and the man he was replaced with took it a different, very disliked direction
Yeah joss whedon blew it but even though I thought the Snyder cut was decent I really think his DCEU would still suck bc of his objectivist thinking and his fundamental misunderstanding of Superman as a character
Funny you mention that, because I was thinking the same thing about him and Kevin Smith. I know they'd patched things up by this point, but he still seemed a bit hesitant to talk about his relationship with Smith.
I LOVE how not just humble he is but also how complimentary he is of everyone he’s worked with and what he’s learned.
Thank you so much
@@benaffleck4991 bro you literally made a Ben afflict account just for this comment
He's a poser, a wannabe nice guy
Makes me happy to see he looks back on 'Batman V Superman' so fondly. He's awesome in that movie and deserves to be be proud.
Yep
Agreed! I loved his take on Wayne & the Dark Knight!
WHAT!? Wow! Kids really are stupid!
A K
I travelled the entire world to ask
Who cares?
They need to release the snyder cut
I'll never get why people mug off Affleck. The guy won an Oscar for co-writing a screenplay. He directed The Town which was critically acclaimed and Argo which won best picture. He proved all the doubters wrong when he played Batman and is in fact one of the best realisations of that character. I've always liked the guy since Mallrats so I am always happy when he is doing well and really hope to see Batfleck on screen again.
The town👌🏽
Next year. 2021- Zack Snyders Justice League... we get to see the real Ben Affleck Batman again.
Mike Smith
Ben was good, but that character wasn’t Batman.
@@GigaChadh976
There have been different variations of the character over the decades. Ben played a very unique version and whether people love or hate it is subjective.
@@GigaChadh976 I hate pulling the "true fan" card, but if you really were a big Batman fan, you'd know that that WAS Batman, and one of the best.
My heart breaks for him at 19:35 when he clears his throat & can't look up. He's my batman because of the approach they took with the character. He did a great job showing so much complexities within Bruce & his Batman was so aggressive. Very underrated & underappreciated adaptation of the character imo.
The Town is still one of my personal favorites, I think Ben, Jeremy, and the whole cast knocked it out of the park
👍
knocked it outta the pahk
My fave afleck film
Need extended cut with Gone Girl....
Release the gone girl cut
Gigli too
EXACTLY! I was just about to comment this! That movie was crazy I’m still scared of that actress every time I see her she looks crazy to me lmbo!
#ReleasetheFincherCut
@@fine_art_wr check out "I care a lot" on Netflix. She really plays psychopaths well
Ben Affleck on Michael Bay.
"He has a very distinctive iconic.. kind of style that's a Michael Bay movie you can recognize."
Cuts to a bunch of explosions.
Bravo Editor, bravo.
Alex O'Neill lol 😂
Woah!!
Lol I was thinking the same thing!
i loved michael bay movie , all of them is fun to watch especially the explosion part
You guys should watch Ben's commentary on Armageddon, it's one of the most hilarious movie commentaries ever.
Saw the GQ piece with Matt Damon. Same as him, Affleck made sure to praise everybody he has worked with, which is lovely and helps me understand better the enduring friendship these two great actors share.
I've been mainlining these iconic character breakdowns, and Ben is far and away the most down to earth, genuinely grateful and obviously multi-talented so far. I massively respect his honesty about his personal problems and his respect for the crews and actors he has worked with..
This guy sounds crazy humble when he talks about Robin Williams, seems cool
Are there people that speak badly about Robin Williams?
@@zauxst I tried once, but couldn't think of anything.
Z. Zauxst i believe his comment was more about Ben then Robin fam
@@zauxst comedians have claimed he steals jokes. But its the product of his style, he was one of those types of comics that riff and just follow the crowds flow, didnt really have a set, so hed sometimes tell jokes that hed heard before as a transition. But since he passed nobody brings it up.
It's nice how he still lights up when he talks about the mentors he's worked with. He's not jaded and that's really cool.
19:36 boy did Zack really shine with his true vision finally coming to materialize into a fantastic 4 hour long DC film that we all hoped for.
I first read a "fantastic 4 long DC film" lol
Fantastic 4 is marvel film or am I reading this wrong
Yep I did
It was kinda..eh. Mediocre at best.
ARGO was flipping amazing!
Not better than Chasing Amy.
That last airport scene was so intense. When i watched it, i had no clue that movie was directed by him
The Town and The Way Back is awesome....
The Accountant wasn't included. He's insanely good in that one. Bummer.
Right?!?! OMG I loved that movie SO much I watched it three times in ONE WEEK, It really should have been in there; took some excellent acting skill to play that role and the action was fantastic! Thanks for mentioning it because I THOUGHT it but I didn't post it. Props 🙌
@@debbietrudeau5866 That's My Favorite Performance Of His
Favorite movie
only reason i clicked
Forgot about that one..thanks! Gonna stream it tonight.
Affleck looks healthy, and sounds even healthier. Great to see. Keep it going man!
K S resilient Ben
The guy looks really good
thats the Ana De Armas effect !!! ;)
@@freshcola6301 YESSS
Argo and The Town were both mesmerizing filled with unforgettable scenes. Ben is really an incredible director
But his best acting was in Chasing Amy and Dogma.
The Town is the best Bank Robbery movie since Heat, two GOATS
I love how excited he is, and how he says he "was lucky" so many times...seems like a genuine human being that understands...mad respect.
Not mentioning Gone Girl is a huge misstep. He's an excellent actor whose personal life gets in the way; that's very relatable. Keep on keeping on, Ben!
Aleks Persson Not everyone is an alcoholic though, so most people wouldn’t find his life that “relatable” to theirs.
They mentioned it but they moved past it to talk about Argo and him directing himself. Idk how they pick the movies to talk to actors about but I’ll assuming they wanted to talk to him as an actor, not a director.
Gone Girl was a fascinating notch on his movie list... totally agree!
That's because the iconic character in Gone Girl is Amy Dunne. Just as it is in the book.
@@speakingtruths4215 speak truth instead of riddles.
He's so modest, always giving credit to everyone expect himself.
Literallly every actors interview does this don’t yiu find it weird ? Simone’s got to be lying
I write this even as a largely unsuccessful actor: when working on even small films it becomes quickly clear to anyone paying attention to the production dimensions that MANY things have to be executed well by other people in order for the actors to succeed, and even more things have to be done for the film to succeed. Affleck talks at several points here about his early interest in making (and not just acting in) films, which means he would rightfully downplay the focus on any individual actor's role (including himself).
@@johnnymartinez478 yuh simone is definitely lying
@@thelolbuster 💀💀💀💀
WTF???
I know everyone wanted him to talk about Gone Girl but I’m just happy he talked about Chasing Amy 😭✨
He seems like such a down to earth kind of guy, really humble and loves what hes does or a living. He keeps saying how lucky he is. Throwing flowers to the tech crew, coworkers and talent involved in his movies. Really cool to hear!
Watching him talk about B.v.S. and Justice Leauge kinda breaks my heart a little. He did a great job. They all did.
Agreed
*josstice league
Yeah, you can see how much he loves the character and Zack, and how much fun he had doing BvS. But when he's speaking about the Josstice League, you can see he's carefully thinking what to say, chosing words, he really is sad that it happened and he had to give up that role so he can still have a career. He knows how much the studio and Whedon butchered the movie and Batman trying to be a Marvel movie.
Nah. The movies were garbage.
@@anirudhmenon4234 that's your opinion :) lot of us liked them.
“Ben Affleck could play the shark in jaws”
-Kevin Smith
wondering what he meant by that
i think he is high in this interview , i actually thought my speed on the video was plus 2 on the speed
His old teeth
@@ENDLESS85 so what if he is?
@@edgarallanpoe8917 he's supposed to be in recovery. Seems like he's on coke here or some kind of upper
Love this guy to death. Started following his career right after BvS and became a fan. I loved 'The Town', 'Gone Girl' and obviously his role of Batman in BvS. I wish Warner restores the Snyderverse and also let Ben direct his own solo Batman movie.
If you only started following him after BvS then you missed his entire career…
Affleck is so multitalented yet still gets overlooked. hes amazing
Ben: Michael has a clear distinct directing style that everyone can recognize.
*Shows 50 explosions at once*
But everybody recognize it haha
Yea they got some comedy into that one, well done GQ :)
Im guessing this is about the movie pearl harbor. just watched team America world police and recognized Ben Affleck and Michael bay so...
I feel like Ben is right about Justice League, it did have problems, and that was because Warner Bros tried to be like Marvel but failed, so shame on WB, shame on them.
👀👀
Exactly
Failed.
They should just scrap the dceu
Thats really not why the Joss Whedon cut was so bad(And I hate Joss Whedon). Ben was right when he said so many circumstances occurred that they had to make a mad dash to finish the film with Zack.
Would have been great to hear him speak on The Accountant. That’s one of my favorite movies with Ben
Best character break down video I’ve watched. What a humble, passionate guy.
“Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo." Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
came to comment that, damnit. smells like someone shat in my cereal, BUNGGGG
Noochie noochies
Affleck was the bomb as Batman yo!
"Phantoms like a mothafucka!"
SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES
Ben Affleck may have a lot of misses movie wise-but Gone Girl, The Accountant,The Town and his portrayal as Ben Affleck/Batman is one of my favourites EVER!
Dankest Media don’t forget good will hunting!
Daredevil? It's not so bad
Ben Afflecks portrayal as Ben Affleck/Batman... 😂 love it
to be fair he does do a good Ben Affleck impression
the Accountant was unbelievably good.
I'm an Affleck fan. Dude seems genuine. I appreciate his talents and enjoy his characters.
I'm surprised The Accountant didn't make this list.
Superbly crafted and acted film.
same and im surprised dogma didn't either since he was talking about Kevin smith helping him with his indi films
Such an underrated movie. I’ve seen autistic people say it’s the best portrayal of autism they’ve seen in film.
right its one of his best films
Kinda heartbreaking how everyone shitted on BvS yet he still has fond memories of it. I thought he was great as Batman (on BvS) and you could really see him sweat for the role - it‘s cool to hear him talk so positively about it despite its failures with connecting with the audience
Well half the audience was stupid so they couldn't connect with the movie. What can you do??
Sparsh Bansal not really the movies just not very good. I love the cast and the concept and some of the action but the plot is all over the place and a mess.
Sparsh Bansal good one. You’re really edgy.
@@brucew565 "Your opinion is different than mine; so you're stupid." Such logic.
BvS wasn't a good movie, but it wasn't Affleck's fault. It was ruined in post-production by studio heads instead of allowing the original directors vision (like most of the Fox, Universal, WB, w/e Superhero movies of pre-Marvel), the set-up was rushed, and there was way too much Martha. Most people praised Affleck and liked the fact that it was a different, more grizzled version of Batman than we'd seen before.
I love BvS. I own the directors cut. It’s worth the 3 hours for a clearer narrative.
I was hoping The Accountant would be on here...sigh
Underrated
Nicholas Loduca it definitely should’ve been
scrolled down while the episode was going and now i don't wanna finish.. lol
I was thinking the same thing... Such an amazing movie.
God I love that film, watched it like 5 times
I honestly think Ben is a great actor. He plays a great older Batman. It’s unfair that he gets knocked for being in a not so great storyline
Was all in until the save Martha bit. Alas
So cool to hear him shout out his brother and how much he believed in him. I slept on Casey until Manchester by the Sea and now I’ll never doubt his talent as an actor.
Watched, "Good Will Hunting" for the first time not too long ago. It's definitely a classic.
One of my all time favorite movies.
00:13 - School Ties
00:59 - Dazed and confused
02:19 - Chasing Amy
05:05 - Good Will Hunting
08:32 - Armageddon
10:33 - Pearl Harbor
12:48 - The Town
15:41 - Argo
18:18 - Batman Vs. Superman + Justice League
20:52 - The Way Back
Shubham Garg thank you❤️❤️❤️
Sydney Pierce Not a problem 😁
Thanks!
The most iconic role Ben ever had was getting to sleep in the same bed as J-Lo every night
No daredevil really
Lovely to see Ben so animated, he is smiling throughout :)
I really liked Ben's Batman. I didn't think I would at first, but he nailed it.
I’m loving Ben Affleck as a artist more and more. He seems so humble and willing to be vulnerable. Must be the gift of recovery. One day at time Ben, one day at a time
Hearing Ben speak with all the same love and admiration for Kevin Smith is just SO good to hear again. Glad they mended that gap.
What caused it? Was it the wife?
@@fe5018 Jennifer was the reason she called kevin crude and rude and just didnt like him and she put that mentality into ben
THE NOISE really. I am surprised by that. I mean he is but to hold that against him and put that into bens head is...cruel?
theplourde Kevin never held it against Ben but Kevin also knows how serious marriage is and would never want to be the reason that people split. Now that they are though they are trying to fix that relationship. Especially with little cameos like in the jay and bob reboot and speaking about eachother it’s always done with the upmost respect.
I've always loved the Frank Miller version of Batman and thought Affleck really did a great job. It's a shame that Snyder couldn't finish it.. Especially now we know how good it could have been. Ben really wanted great things for his version of Batman but he got screwed over big time.
Yeah, it's absolutely a shame that all the production issues and studio interference killed his Passion. He did such a good job with what he was given as Batman and to this day is the best looking and DEFINITELY had the best choreography of a movie Batman thus far
BRUNT!!!
The way he clears his throat when talking about justice league really speaks volumes 💀💀
"The Accountant" was a great movie... I've watched it more than Armageddon... at least 6 times.
It was ok
same
Yeah it’s one of those movies that I loved but I haven’t rewatched since I saw it
Good movie but i watch armageddon every few months
I'll always be in Affleck's corner. I love that guy,
Not more than me lol
Same.
"The Town" freaking rules, IMAO it's Ben's best film. The acting and the action is super intense. Jeremy Renner is great in it as well.
He’s one of my top 5 actors I enjoy watching his films! He’s a great director as well so I hate that he receives so much dislike. It makes me extremely happy to see all the love for him in the comments section!
Till this day, Ben Affleck is still my favorite Batman and Bruce Wayne. Thank you Mr. Affleck for being such a great talented actor and director.
I would've loved to see him in a good batman movie though. That was very convoluted and busy and the race to get a universe built for DC movies seems to have affected just how good a story or movie could be per character. Jesse eisenberg as Luthor was just terrible.
Really glad to hear that Ben Affleck looks back on BvS fondly. I also loved the movie (the Ultimate Edition that is, not the butchered theatrical cut).
can't agree more
Ultimate Edition is a tour de force... no hyperbole. It's an original vision that will be looked back on fondly in years to come.
Yea ultimate edition was actually really good, loved his take on batman
Definitely preferred ultimate edition over theatrical one.
I don't like BvS but Batfleck is phenomenal.
Great insight into your movies, and directing. I really appreciate you doing the interview. Keep up the great energy and say hello to Jennifer for me. LOL.
Please come back as Batman.
He was the best Batman imo, I wished they didn't rush out the DCU movies to catch up with Marvel and he got his solo Batman movie with the care it deserves. Affleck nailed the look and the vibe of Batman
I agree, they screwed him hard. Way better than bale and whoever the new dude is. We already got a how he became batman, why do it again? I was hyped for batman beyond.
I think he looked the part and fit the character but the movie was written poorly.
An older Batman we need. An older Batman we got in Ben Affleck. He is also a comic book fan, and I think Batman in particular. He would have done the character and the movie justice.
How do I dislike a comment till it’s deleted
A weird thing for me is how he accepted the character mostly because a couple of movies later he was gonna be killed, and in his second full appearance he already looked exhausted.
"Michael Bay has such an iconic style that you can recognize." Immediately cuts to explosions
They did him so dirty. 😂
10:16 that Armageddon commentary reference 😂
I wouldn't mind watching Ben breaking down his whole career! man is so talented! I love his works
I really wish he knows how the entire comic fans loved him as Batman in BvS.
I think he does. Even people that absolutely hate BvS seem to love Batfleck. His disinterest in Justice League is understandable and most seem to get it.
He still looks like Bruce Wayne
H he is
Yeah...ben affleck still looks like ben affleck
As he gets older he looks more and more like dark knight returns Batman imo
FunkyNectar Bird I agree bro. Christian bale was my favorite but Ben Affleck definitely had the perfect look for Bruce Wayne in my opinion. Reminiscent of the animated series along with frank miller iterations
I don’t care what anyone says - his Batman and Bruce Wayne have been the most comic book accurate look in live action so far.
Just love him. So humble and talented🙏
Love how politic he was with the contrast on BvS and Justice League. Would love to get his views on making the Snyder Cut Justice League..... especially with the additional shoots he did over the last year. WB really screwed the pooch with the Theatrical Release of Justice League.
Ben was a great Batman; I will shout it front the rooftops until I die and I will fight anyone who says otherwise
Also where's Gone Girl and The Accountant?
"Martha"
More like he could have been.
He is Batman!
Jet he is Batman did you read the dark Knight returns that his version of the character mcu fanboy I bet you never read comic in your life
@@chillpillz6793 Lol wtf. Im apparently an MCU fanboy and I have never read a comic in my life? Wrong on both of those as I have always preferred DC.
You can see the love for movies in Ben. I love that.
Very fun to see that this guy is a humbleman. I will watch his films with a different sense of vigor. Love The Town!!! One of my go to faves!
He's been a part of so many iconic projects. Such a talented legend.
The town is the best ben Affleck movie.
Agreed
Gone girl doode
Screwface Capital 💯
It's up there. But nr 1 has to be between Gigli and Daredevil. 😂
Debatable. I think Good Will Hunting is Ben Affleck's Best film he ever worked on.
Man I love hearing Ben talk about how much he loved doing Batman v Superman.
I love the film and he was great in it but I feel like his Batman will constantly be tanked now by Josstice League.
Same here. I'm glad he looks back on it fondly, especially because of how much I love the movie. It's good to know that he didn't regret doing it or anything like that.
It aint Joss’s fault... chill. The script was crap to begin with
@@Luke101 You never read it. We know enough about it now thanks to ZACK SNYDER that it would've been a completely different film. IS a completely different film. Joss Whedon raped it either way. Sit down.
Dan Y It still wasn’t Joss’s fault though. He was just obviously doing what Warner Bros. wanted him to do. He was doing his job. They hired him and brought him in. It’s WB’s fault.
Dan Y Zack is a hack. Always will be
The Town was one of his best movies EVER, absolutely brilliant
Watching this made me happy, very different perspectives on activ and iconic characters in this series but this was very authentic and uplifting
I loved bvs and Ben was one of the biggest reasons. He played that role fantastically. Favorite Batman.
Agreed!
Bless your heart child.
George Clooneys nipples were my favorite Batman
really wish he did his own batman movie. best scene was that warhouse scene.
These GQ interviews are so amazing.. I can watch these all day thank you GQ 🙏🏾
The Accountant was also a quality movie of his
Loved him on The Accountant! Would've loved to hear his take on that. Waiting with bells on for the sequel! I love seeing him look so happy and healthy. He is an icon
much love is given back to you guys
Wait what?? A sequel... heading to Google now to search.... thx
Robin Williams did his masterpiece Goodwill Hunting performance in just three weeks? That's incredible.
I grew up watching Pearl Harbor and became passionate about the real historical event and fell in love with it. The movie was amazing and I wished he'd talked more about it! I had no idea it quote bombed; I wonder why.
"We're going to go hurt some people." - "Who's car we taking?" WHOA
He looks younger in this segment than in anything in the past couple years
The sad thing is, that even though Ben says, that he lost the drive to direct and star in The Batman, you can clearly see how much he loves the character and how much passion he put in playing him. It`s unfair, that we won`t get to see his full potential as Batman. Even so I`m glad, that Ben`s getting better. He is a good actor and a director and he didn`t deserve a lot of stuff he got in a last couple of years...
Baqari Mindadze I miss BatFleck, I know he said he lost interest in the character but I hope he could come back one day.
The way he explains why he gave up the batman role makes so much sense and I totally understand it now. I hated seeing him go knowing the potential that he could’ve brought to the role, but I get his decision.
Much respect to Ben. He has learned a lot in his career and has grown so much!
You can’t tell how much Justice League messed him up. He deserved better
Correction. WB messed him up.
@@ankuras143 whats wb
Sifat Siam Warner Bros
@@ankuras143 technically, it's all the same thing
@@ankuras143 yeah, but snyder treated him well and gave him time to shine as batman.
This is such a good interview and how hes back to normal this is the real ben !!! Ben is back
He deserves one more shot of Batman it's a shame he didnt make his Batman trilogy
Elliot Perkins it’s a relief he didn’t make a Batman trilogy
We've got a new Batman now, let it go already
The real Ben is the one that has been through the good and the bad. The "real" Ben is not one or the other, or the one we as an audience want to particularly see, but the sum of all the Bens that have faced good and bad days and have created a really cool and mature person.
He was always normal Ben. Every one has good days and bad days. That’s normal.
@@df4196 I highly disagree. He wasn't in the right place or normal when he did all that. Wake up and see the truth
Chasing Amy is probably Ben's favorite role. Written by his biggest fan and friend, who he made write another story like it.
Affleck's Batman in BvS was great actually! Would love to have seen a solo batman film starring Ben.
I really enjoyed him as Batman. Wish he’d stayed in the role
Agree!
prediction: people will love the snyder cut and want batfleck back to fight darkseid
Man...I can't help but think that Ben's solo Batman movie would've been something truly special. I don't think Christopher Nolan was chomping at the bit to make a Batman film and look what he did.
Affleck should give himself more credit. I know it's extremely unlikely but I hope it still gets made.
@@joshualeon3223 Indeed, it's a shame it didn't pan out. Heck, Joe Manganiello was also pretty pumped to play Deathstroke in it. Too bad we'll never see it. :/
Apparently he might be a Batman again in a hbo series
“Pearl Harbor bombed” lol interesting choice of words
Tuh huh you funny
One of the best movies!
Sabrina Z I agree !!
I have alot of respect for Affleck. Having seen gone Baby Gone and The Town, I know he's a very talented director with a good eye and good sense for filmmaking.
He's also my favorite Batman so far. Much respect to Affleck for his portrayal of Batman.
I love Ben he’s such a down to earth person and he’s such a good actor and he’s the best Batman
