What the hell did he think was going to happen? He's Batman now. Did he really think that he was going to become Batman and people would still give a shit about his non-Batman stuff? No one cares about non-Thor Chris Hemsworth movies, non-Cap Chris Evans stuff, and at this point people don't even care about non-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr, stuff. He just thought he was going to become Batman and people would be asking him about some indie film he's writing?

I can understand how he feels though. While I'm sure he's got some investment in Batman, it's still primarily a paycheque to him.

Few people outside himself cares about his passion project. Do what you love it's all good but don't get pissy because a legion of fans care about the batman franchise then your passion project. He seems to be confused about the fans appearing to him are batman/comic book fans and not necessarily fans of him personally

But...but what about his work as the Human Torch? *dodges thrown tomatoes *

On one hand I can see why he would get frustrated. There are other projects on his plate other than Batman. Let's be honest here, The Town was awesome, as was Argo, and Live By Night looks really good as well. So if I were him I'd be a little pissed that people keep bugging me about a film that's probably not coming out for another year or two.
It's kind of similar to how Maynard James Keenan refuses to answer questions about the future Tool album. Despite having Puscifer, A Pefect Circle, and his wine business, he gets very defensive and insulting if anyone dares to ask him about a new Tool album. So I can see Affleck's frustration.

It's as much a case of fans being aware Batman is coming out vs anything else. I've seen trailers for Live by Night, but before this thread I couldn't tell you what it was called. Meanwhile, he was just in TWO movies this year as Batman, so people are naturally going to be more curious about that; especially given the huge fanbase.

Yea it just comes off as not "funny" because he got so tight people constantly ask him about Batman instead of a film he wrote and is finishing up. Truthfully I never heard of the movie until he brought it up.

Terry is a character who would really capture that younger audience they're always craving, too. A movie like that could look like Blade Runner while having the fun factor of Spider-Man. Throw in a techno-rock soundtrack and it's almost a recipe for more success than DC's had thus far. Have Micheal Keaton as Bruce Wayne, His Batman I could see being the lonely miserable old coot. YES.

You almost have to bow in awe of how much of a mess the DC movies are. I just want to see another good Batman and Superman movie before I die.

f***. As long as he's still staring and producing. I'm sure his frustration with this stupid studio is a big reason why he stepped down.

I mean, it seems like it would be a lot of pressure to write, direct, produce, and star in a Batman movie. Ben could do it in ARGO or THE TOWN, but Batman is a major tentpole.

Warner Bros, you fools. If you just gave him enough prep time he could have pulled it off!

I wonder if it in anyway involves his latest film getting seriously panned by critics and sucking at the B.O
Optimistic Fade: Hey, well, Bens still in it, and they could make an inspired choice in a new Director!
Realistic Fade: BahahahahahahaDCCUhahahahahahahaha
