Ben Affleck Dropped Out Of ‘The Batman’ Amid Fears He’d “Drink Himself To Death”
- Thread starter Dalek

I never thought of it like that. Actors who are dealing with depression aren't allowed to do things like stress eat when they have to be in superhuman shape. So they take drugs or drink to excess. Good for him for turning down a huge role to focus on his own health and get right.
It also makes his Coach Carter film hit a little harder too.

The moves he was in sucked, but I really loved some of his scenes, they were new and fresh:
Visually, it's unparalleled in the genre. Completely unmatched. I feel that way about the story too, but I know why the majority of people really dislike it. It was '90s DC as fuck, and that's my favorite period in comics.
well JL came out in 2017 and presumably he wouldn't shot right into Batman. So this was all during his bad times. He's doing better now but it's like years later. DC would've probably preferred less than a 5 year gap between JL and a new Batman movie.
That BvS cowl is so damn perfect. Shame they changed it in Justice League.The moves he was in sucked, but I really loved some of his scenes, they were new and fresh:
So a different script from the one we are getting with Reeves right?
Originally yes, although as one poster pointed out he was still attached to the Reeves project at a later date before pulling out.
So are you saying that his health isn't more important than films that aren't "silly comic book movies"?
Because you Era guys weren't gleefully sharing the sad affleck meme and laughing at him.
Hell even the first post is something else.
Never change Era. Anything for your fanboyism.
Anyway do your thing Ben. Hope you are feeling better.

Should, but rarely does. Call out sick at most places and see what happens
Then I will chill at home and if I have to stay at home for more than three days I go to the doctor.
I am glad that he did the right thing here and stayed away from the project. Mental health is more important.
He did great with what he was handed for sure. There are some incredible Wayne/Batman sequences in Batman v Superman.
Hope he stays on the right track.

Him running into the smoke was the most hype thing in the trailer. While many were losing their minds and hating Batfleck before the movie came out I was excited. He ended up being my favorite Bats in BvS, just a shame that JL hurt Bats a lot.The moves he was in sucked, but I really loved some of his scenes, they were new and fresh:
He Batman and Bruce Wayne were great portrayals in bad movies. This sounds like he very much made the right choice, though.
Get better dude, just know whatever hatered there was for BVS, Batfleck was the best. In fact his Batman to me is still the best pure comic live action Batman to date. It sucks they fucked it all up with JL but it is what it is.
I hope he gets better, and I hope he comes back to play Batman at some point in the future. He deserves at least one great solo film. I loved his portrayal of the character.
Very admirable on his part to even admit that to public. But in order for one person to get better, or better themselves, is to accept the fact there is something wrong with you in the 1st place.
Then you can start working on fixing that problem/s. Ben did a good job playing the caped crusader, given what the script was. It's really sad his marriage had to end, but i'm glad to hear he's getting better.
He's a pretty good actor, he will do just fine!
All fanboys here that bash him should be ashamed, nobody is perfect, but i guess everyone on Era is smh!!!

It's too bad, I really love Argo, and he's a great filmmaker. I have faith he would have killed this.
His interpretation of Batman in BvS was great. The fight scene in the warehouse teased something real cool. It's a shame it didn't work out and it's a shame he's struggling so much, but good for him for trying to get better. That said, I am also happy with the direction of the new Batman movie under Reeves.
Can someone explain this 'joke'? seems lots of people are upset about it but i'm just confused.
I really enjoyed the directors cut of BvS. I never saw it in the theaters because of the bad press. I didn't think it deserved anywhere near the hate. JL was pretty boring and all over the place. That movie certainly deserved the poor reviews. I do find that people seem overly critical of Snyder films though, it's strange.
That's genuinely depressing.
I feel the lack of empathy some people have for celebrity's because "they have money" was always abhorrent. The idea of millions of eyeballs constantly on you can just eat away at a persons mental well-being

Shame because I know Batman was his dream role hearing him talk way back early in his career. Glad to see the dude knows where he stands, hope he's getting help.
Everyone is rightly dog-piling on this comment but... Who or what is "Bonus Tsujifuckingactresseshara" referencing?
I was confused too and found this.
