During an interview onJimmy Kimmel Live , where the host was celebrating his fiftieth birthday , Affleck explained :
Literally the reason I took this movie was guess that , you know , wearing that costume and – I have a small boy – throw my son see me . You know ? Everybody desire their youngster to think of them as a superhero before they get too smart . And I bring a picture to show you . Two weeks ago my Word require me , ' Dad there ’s one costume I desire in the whole wide of the mark world . Can you get it for me ? '
Affleck then reveal a picture of his Word endure a costume of The Flash , not Batman . Kimmel then go to level out that Affleck ’s fry would make a pretty good Robin , judge by his superhero pose in the photo .
It ’s a very cute story , which is the point . It ’s just gratifying to see Affleck have some sport with the role of Batman and how it touch his life out of doors of the film . Even if the hearsay that Affleck ’s time in the cape and cowl is do a last earlier rather than later turn out to be sour , it ’s been rare to see Affleck talk positively ( or have fun at all ) about being Batman . Even if it ’s at the expense of himself , at least Affleck is having more of a sense of humor about his part in DC ’s cinematic cosmos .
Of course , Affleck ’s tenacious attitude in previous press visual aspect might not be completely his defect . For better or bad , Affleck ’s DCEU debut was inBatman v. Superman : Dawn of Justicewhich was a decidedly dour movie . Affleck taking the role seriously gibe the note of the picture show ( and character ) he was promoting . Batman is an obviously grim character , but there ’s no reasonableness for Affleck to be quite as dark while boost the moving picture - certainly not any longer .
With theearly buzz onJustice Leaguebeing that the movie is much more of a fun adventure film , with more obvious jocularity and humor , Affleck ’s lighter mental attitude is a adept fit .
