Zack Snyder Calls Ben Affleck the Best Batman Ever

Over on social medium , Zack Snyder celebrate Batman Day by honouring his favorite on - projection screen Batman , Ben Affleck , who ’s set to reprise the part inJustice Leaguethis crepuscle . While it seems like an obvious option given the fact that Snyder essentially create Affleck ’s version of Batman as part of the conductor ’s 2016 blockbuster , Batman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , it is unmanageable to reason against .

People normally chance themselves in one of the three following camp : the Michael Keaton camp , for his execution in Tim Burton ’s 1989Batmanand 1992Batman Returns ; the Christian Bale camp for his take on the caped crusader in Christopher Nolan ’s grounded and grittyThe Dark Knighttrilogy;or camp Affleck for his version of the popular character , inBatman V Supermanand , to a lesser extent , his cameo inSuicide Squad . And of grade , there is the casual outlier who , when asked to choose between Keaton , Bale and Affleck , will answer Kevin Conroy for his vox do in various iterations of Batman animation .

In a Emily Price Post on Vero , Zack Snyder celebrate Batman Day by make it crystal clear in which camp he fall . Take a look at a screenshot of his spot below :

Batman V Supermanwas critically panned for its disjointed screenplay , character motivations , an over the top depicting of Lex Luthor by Jesse Eisenberg and the general want of the promised titular fight . Many also look at it to be one of the weakest of the nine live - action Batman movies to day of the month .

Having say that , there are a few bright spots . One is Gal Gadot ’s depiction of the Amazonian goddess , Wonder Woman . The other is Affleck ’s marvelous execution as Batman . Despite the quality not write with as much depth as some would ’ve wish , Affleck disappeared into the character wholly . This version of Bruce Wayne was completely dissimilar from the other live - action iterations that came before it . An aggregation of retiring sufferings , including the death of one of his protege at the hand of The Joker , made him a rugged valet . Viewers buy into the character because of Affleck ’s sensibility ; the subtle things that he does .

SinceSuicide Squad , Affleck ’s futurity in the DCEU has been in dubiousness . There have been written report and hearsay regarding the DCEU and Affleck . Initially , Affleck was set to write , unmediated and whiz in The Batman solo picture . Due to personal cause , he has since stepped aside as both writer and director , which was followed by rumors that Affleck will be stepping away from the Batsuit completely . However , the rubble has eventually settled , withDawn of the Planet of the ApesandWar for the Planet of the Apesdirector Matt Reeves stepping in . Reeves will be forge on penning and helm the solo Batman junket , while Affleck has promised that he will be playing Gotham City ’s preferred vigilante . At San Diego Comic - Con , Affleck responded to rumour of his departure by voicing his fervour about playing Batman in Reeves ' film .
