If there is one near-unanimously agreed upon highlight of the DC Extended Universe so far, it’s Ben Affleck’s performance as Batman. Such a thing could bode well for his directorial addition to the universe with The Batman, along with his knowledge learned on blockbuster filmmaking from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Speaking to BBC Radio about the experience, Affleck said: “I learned a ton actually, making that movie. I had not made a movie of that scale. I didn’t know what the technology was capable of doing nowadays. The last big blockbuster-y movies I made were like Armageddon in 1997The technology had really changed the way those movies were made. It was fascinating and I learned a tremendous amount”.
Equally as important, Affleck also acknowledges and jokes about the ‘sad Affleck’ memes. Watch the interview here…
