Ben Affleck Has Had Enough Of Being Asked About THE BATMAN; "It's Such A Pain In The Ass"

Ben Affleck has spent pretty much the entire Live by Night press tour fielding questions about The Batman, and it appears as if he's finally had enough! Hit the jump for his latest comments...

Poor Ben Affleck had to endure the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice press tour after those scathing reviews were released, and now his latest movie Live by Night - which also isn't faring too well with critics - has been dominated by talk of The Batman. Based on the interview clip below, the actor and director has had enough of it, and he once again assures fans that he's making it and they'll love it.

Despite everything we've heard, it's hard to imagine the Caped Crusader's solo movie not happening at this point. After all, Affleck has said on numerous occasions that he'll direct it, so would he really drop out at such a late stage in the game? Honestly, we just don't know, but it seems pretty unlikely.

We'll have to wait and see, but as time goes on, The Batman being released in 2018 does seem doubtful. Affleck got burned with Batman v Superman and can't be pleased about Live by Night's reception, especially as it was an Oscar contender ahead of its release. What do you guys think?

We feel for you, @BenAffleck- and that sounds absolutely perfect. Take all the time in the world you need to get the #Batman movie right! pic.twitter.com/2X33gEDi64

Matador - 1/15/2017, 9:09 AM @JonHeisenberg - There kinda of is a problem by taking there time in making The Batman. What is it you ask? Age. Ben Affleck is 44 years old and will be getting older thanks to Snyder's casting choice. Affleck is a great actor and director on his own but with all the stunts & action for more movies do you think he'll still be able to manage that? Ben Affleck should have been someone else or just director they should have cast-ed a younger Batman but that's just my opinion. Login to report abuse
liquidmuse3 - 1/15/2017, 9:12 AM @Matador - that's why they hire stuntmen. You really think Affleck did more than half of Batman's stunts in BvS? Login to report abuse
