October 25, 2013: Reluctant Affleck Impressed with Superman/Batman Concept

Ben Affleck 411mania.com managed to sit down for an exclusive interview with Ben Affleck and asked him about his thoughts on being cast in the role of Batman for the upcoming follow-up to "Man of Steel".

    Q: Do you remember your first thought when the idea of you playing Batman was originally presented to you and was there a tipping point in your decision making process, a moment where you started to think, "I really want to do this"?

    Ben Affleck: Initially I was reluctant as I felt I didn't fit the traditional mold but once Zack showed me the concept, and that it would be both different from the great movies that Chris and Christian made but still in keeping with tradition I was excited. Doing something different and new is always tricky and part of the thrill and the risk is that initially it confounds expectations. The truth is, it's the movie and the execution of it is what all the actors depend on and I believe in Zack's vision.
