Colin Farrell, who played the Marvel villain Bullseye alongside Ben Affleck 10 years ago, believes Ben Affleck will shut up the critics as Batman in the upcoming Warner Bros. film BATMAN VS SUPERMAN.

He added that Ben has come a long way as an actor, and that will show in his performance.

Colin told Total Film: ‘Good luck to him. I think he’ll do a great job. As an actor, I don’t know that I know anyone that’s improved as much as he has. That sounds like a s**t thing to say.

He went on: ‘I always enjoyed watching him, as a director he’s extraordinary too, but his work in The Town and Argo, he was so fantastic in both those films. In Argo, it was such a controlled performance, I think he’ll kill as Batman, I hope he does and shuts the naysayers up.

I think he will be great too. But when is Colin Farrell going to come out and say if he is doing Warcraft or passed on it. That I want to know from him instead of Ben's going to do great. I think it is real easy to see Ben is going to blow the pants off of people with his performance.
