Ben Affleck has been promoting his new movie The Way Back, one of several projects he has coming out this year.
Ben Affleck was cast as our new Bruce Wayne by Zack Snyder in 2013 for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Getting more into specifics, Ben Affleck explained that he liked the script that he co-wrote for the movie alongside Geoff Johns.
Rather candidly, Ben Affleck also explained that his drinking escalated during these years and that a friend said he would likely drink himself to death if he moved forward with The Batman.
