Affleck was the first actor to take a serious Batman role that in my opinion was a good Bruce Wayne and good Batman.

Add to that the obvious inspiration from the Batman games and it was top notch Batman to me.

Honestly the writing and the meddling WB execs were what made the DCEU movies bad. Affleck was absolutely one of the bright spots and it actually makes me a little sad that he would shit on his own work like that.

After all the Superman vs. Batman buildup, the resolution was that their mommies were named Martha? That's what they released? In theaters?
