Affleck had been wanting to direct and star in an independent Batman movie for Warner Bros., yet ventured down from helming in 2017, giving over that activity to Matt Reeves. He chose early a year ago not to star in the film, with the job going to Robert Pattinson. Affleck has conceded that he ventured away from the film because of a drinking issue.
Muschietti, who coordinated the “It” motion pictures for Warner Bros., adulated Affleck’s interpretation of Batman: “His Batman has a division that is solid, which is his manliness — as a result of the manner in which he looks, and the overwhelming figure that he has, and his facial structure — but on the other hand he’s entirely powerless. He realizes how to convey from the back to front, that weakness. He simply needs a story that permits him to bring that differentiate, that balance.”
“He’s a considerable piece of the enthusiastic effect of the film. The cooperation and connection among Barry and Affleck’s Wayne will bring an enthusiastic level that we haven’t seen previously,” the chief said. “It’s Barry’s film, it’s Barry’s story, however their characters are more related than we might suspect. The two of them lost their moms to kill, and that is one of the passionate vessels of the film. That is the place the Affleck Batman kicks in.”
