JUSTICE LEAGUE: Ben Affleck Explains Batman's Unique Dynamic With His Fellow Heroes

When we met Ben Affleck's Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he wasn't particularly interested in getting to know his fellow heroes. While he was intrigued by Wonder Woman (who wouldn't be?), he wanted to kill the Man of Steel but after realising that he'd made a horrible mistake, Batman decided to assemble a team of superheroes. How has his outlook changed in Justice League?

"In Batman v Superman, he was at the end of his rope," Affleck explains. "But in Justice League he’s finding hope again. He has to open up and play well with others. He knows he needs them." That sounds like a direction which is well suited to the new tone of the DC Extended Universe and while Batman is known for being dark and brooding, it will be fun seeing how he deals with this status shift.

Asked if the Caped Crusader struggles with fitting in with the likes of Aquaman and Cyborg, he added: "He’s sort of the ultimate loner, but he’s really trying to make it work and develop a good relationship with all of them. He might be a mentor to The Flash." That latter point is particularly interesting as Batman and the Flash working together could lead to some show-stealing scenes.

Here's hoping JL will make me care about his Batman and Cavill's Superman!

@Kyos - Don't get me wrong. I will be seeing JL just as any CBM this Year. But this whole thing with JL. I thought Batman fans say that he can take on anyone alone. He can beat Darkside, Superman all the Avengers on his own. So why he need Justice League if he is so formidable and all needs is prep time. I just don't understand the consistency.

Afleck is Batman. You could say what you want about his Bruce Wayne but his Batman is on point.

@Supercat6376 - I actually think his Bruce Wayne is the best thus far. I prefer Keaton's Batman but affleck is a close second

@Supercat6376 - No, Batman isn't a psychotic murderer who tries to kill Superman for little to no reason.

@Nightwing1015 - they made him a broken man in a dark place who thought super man was the ultimate threat. What wasn't handled properly was how quickly after he dies that he goes into a love fest for him.

@Nightwing1015 - No reason? LOL there was plenty of reasons for Batman in BvS,the start of the movie,he saw him as a threat to the world.He had visions with him.

@Nightwing1015 - stoked fear on the premise that Supes is an indestructible alien that shoots lasers out of his eyes and could kill everyone and no one could stop him, seems a tad over "little to no".

@scapegoatjones - It seems strange that Bruce would have that fear. Superman literally saved the whole planet in Man of Steel. Bruce should be thanking him. Besides, in no other DC universe has Batman considered Superman this much of a threat before even meeting him.

@JohnSheppardXXL - I'm excited for it. I'm not hating on it at all. I enjoy BvS. It was a bit of a slog to get to the great end but overall I enjoyed it, especially the last 45 mins .

@Lem1 - lmao na that suit is on point. Someone here the other day was talking about his fat cheeks. That could be it in this picture. It's not fitted right.
