Batman 'Dawn of Justice' Cast News: Ben Affleck Opens Up, Talks Batman Role
Actor Ben Affleck said he actually has a lot in common with his character of Bruce Wayne in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice." Affleck, who is known to be a pretty easygoing guy, admitted that he often holds back from reacting in certain situations. The 42-year-old actor explained what it's really like being Batman.
Bruce Wayne is vengeful, distrustful and a bit paranoid. Though he is charming once he comes out of his cave, he is still an angry person deep inside. Ben Affleck said he knows a little something about anger himself.
"For me, anger is so deeply buried and contained that it does kind of come out, it comes out in stronger bursts. I tend to be respectful, polite, get along, put up with, put up with, put up with. ... Then when it emerges, it's not something I have a ton of control over. I'm not [going to] do a Wolverine berserk rage, but I do have [a lot of anger], I do," Ben said during his interview with the U.K.'s Mirror.
Though Affleck describes his anger as a flaw, he admitted it was a good characteristic to have in order to make his depiction of Batman a success.
"I think it's a necessity, historically, in the tradition of these films," he said. Ben Affleck's portrayal has been the talk of the town since the decision was made to name him the next Batman. It seems like DC fans have warmed up to the idea.
