As Joshua Lapin-Bertone states in his article How Ben Affleck Redeemed Batman, “This isn’t the story of the Dark Knight in his prime, this is a movie about a grizzled veteran who has become disillusioned with his mission.”Īdditionally, prior to donning the Batsuit, Affleck had trained really hard for 15 months to build a physique that closely matched the superhero’s body type in the comics, increasing his weight by 40 pounds.Īlthough he has created somber, more flawed, but ultimately more relatable superheroes, Snyder is clearly a fan of the original comics, and his movies are drizzled with subtle homages. While Affleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman is a controversial portrayal, especially since Christian Bale had set the bar so high, the actor, perhaps fueled by his own challenging personal demons, managed to convey the right amount of despair that was required in this particular universe.

According to Screenrant, actor Dwayne Johnson believes him to be “the greatest Superman actor of all time, even above the late Christopher Reeve.” In fact, Johnson liked him so much, he relentlessly campaigned to DC executives to have him appear in the post-credit scene for Black Adam. Cavill himself is generally approved by both critics and fans as Clark Kent/Superman, and has generated equal enthusiasm from fellow Hollywood stars.
