Okay, so we still haven't found any actors/directors that absolutely hate the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman! I'm sure they're out there, but obviously they're not gonna say anything to that effect in an interview; so, we'll continue posting the positive comments! This time though it's a man pretty much universally loved and respected by you CBMers, The Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. Here's what he had to say to MTV's Josh Horowitz at TIFF.
"I think Ben is a great actor. I think he’s been underrated for a long time. He’s obviously a great director. He’s a very smart guy. That guy doesn't make decisions that aren't well thought out, that aren't great. And he's a tough guy..a Boston kid! I think deep down he doesn't mind taking on something that might be seen as controversial. I know him a little bit and I know he’s going to relish the opportunity to go and crush it. I have no doubt he’s going to crush it."
