Ben Affleck recently appeared at Comic-Con along side Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot and director Zack Snyder, which saw a teaser released for Batman Vs. Superman.

Arguably the fanboy reaction to Ben Affleck as the new Batman has calmed a bit since then, but Affleck did manage to comment on the skepticism in a recent interview.

EW.com caught up with Affleck at Comic-Con, with Affleck remaining positive about the role and fan's opinions.

I’m right in the middle of shooting now. It’s a process that I’ll probably have better perspective on when I’m done. I can tell you that every time I do a role, it’s the responsibility of an actor to get their physical self as close to the role as possible. And Batman’s obviously got a set of expectations that are tough. So I spent a lot of time working out. And it’s a far cry from Gone Girl where my character is described as “puffy and hungover.” I want you to know I worked equally hard at both! [laughs]



I wouldn’t have taken the part if I didn’t trust my instincts in terms of the filmmaking. I think Chris Terrio wrote a terrific script. Zack’s a great visual director. And there’s an interesting take. I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think I could do it. I have the benefit of a lot of that understanding. But also, everyone is entitled to their opinion.



You know what? It’s great that people do care that much. They want to see the movie that much. And it is incumbent on you to honor the story. There are the Greek myths and these are the American myths. The American myths are these superheroes. People care about ‘em a lot. And it’s incumbent on you to do a good job and make it as excellent as you possibly can. At the end of the day, the movie’s all that matters.

Affleck has also been spotted on set as Bruce Wayne.
