Ben Affleck's Batman is a pretty messed up dude, something which became evident when that trailer revealed that he brands criminals before leaving them for the police. While we already know that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice kicks off with a flashback to the events of Man of Steel from Bruce Wayne's perspective, but when The LA Times mentioned to the actor that his first scene as Batman plays out like a horror movie, Affleck replied:Talk then turned to the success of Deadpool, and the site asked director Zack Snyder how he feels to see an offbeat R-Rated release like that find success.He makes a great point, and in all honesty, it's easy to imagine that Watchmen would have been a much bigger box office success had it been released today.



Of course, one big differences between Batman v Superman and Deadpool aside from the rating is how much more money the former cost to make. Asked about the pressures which come with hoping the movie finds box office success, Affleck said: "Look, in the broad sense, from a long-term portfolio perspective, Warner Bros. has already won. They own this vast underexploited [intellectual property] that is DC. They're going to make all these movies regardless. Will every DC movie be great and be successful? No. Would it be good if "BvS" works for them? Yes, obviously. But if any one of the movies doesn't work, it doesn't mean it all goes away. "Green Lantern" didn't work, and Green Lantern is going to come back and work for them."
