Ben Affleck was a guest on
Late Night yesterday and Jimmy Fallon asked him about being cast as Batman.
The newest Caped Crusader told the NBC late night host that after he accepted the role, the studio warned him about the negative fan reaction he was in for once they announced he’d be playing the part. Warner Bros showed him some of the other hateful reactions that past actors who took on the role endured before their versions of the movie ever came out. It was so bad that the studio advised him to avoid the internet for a few days.
Well the Daredevil felt he is a big boy and he could handle what they would say about him. That is until he read the first comment, that said “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Once he read that, he was done with the internet for a few days. Guess he didn’t pay attention to that major plot point in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
Even though there are a lot of naysayers out there, I sincerely think he will be a great Batman. So bring it on Ben!
