I just came across the following manip on someone's Instagram page. Pretty cool.

Dang with the white eyes, that looks awesome!!

"I know what’s it's like to be in the suit," says Affleck, pondering the notion at the Beverly Hilton. "We’ll have to modify the suit to make it a little bit easier to put on and take off. When you are in it, you can be sweating, crazy and exhausted, do your part and walk away. But when you’re a director, you can’t walk away. You have to be there for everybody.

"Chief among the challenges of doing Batman, will be finding a suit that’s more comfortable," he says.

I'm starting to think he's messing with people.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised since fans and especially the media are pressuring him about Batman.

I'm listening to the Batman on Film podcast with Mark Hughes podcast and and it's a great conversation, there's one part where Hughes says "Hey fans, one way to guarantee he will NOT direct The Batman is to keep bothering the guy about!" It really does make you think though, Affleck's gotta be under tremendous pressure, man. Doing BvS, having the movie be critically panned, going right into JL with a ton of pressure, The Accountant getting mixed reception, his passion project being critically panned, and all journalists wanna know is when is he getting behind the camera to film himself in the Batsuit. I really could not blame the guy if he walked away from directing the thing.

Slimmer batsuit please.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Slimmer batsuit please.

Funnily enough, I've literally just finished re-watching The Town. Damn, Affleck looked great there. No wonder that manip of him with the bat-symbol on his t-shirt is taken from that movie.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

I'd love to see something slimmer, or something more along the lines of this version of Bermejo's batsuit, which is a little looser fitting, something actually fabric based would be cool for a future batsuit, with bulk only coming from obviously armored spots.

He did, Affleck has always been in good "movie star" shape. I Affleck should try to slim down back to his "The Town" shape and thus slim down the suit, too. I like the Frank Miller bulky Batman but I don't think its necessary. Plus putting on all that mass is gonna make Affleck look pudgy the minute he stops working out to maintain the muscle mass.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Slimmer batsuit please.

If the regular costume for JL is as slim/formfitting as the tactical suit, I'd be fine with that.

 

[Greenlite]

So they could make a suit that's so comfortable to wear, that Ben decides to wear it all the time while directing at the set.

Batman directing his own movie, wow.

We have come a long way..

I liked Live By Night.

I actually prefer it to Argo.

I hear it's pretty good. Not sure what all the "critical flop" brouhaha's about.

Stop hyping me up mayne.

Affleck is hitting another PRIME period of his career. He would be f$%^$ing insane to walk away from The Batman. He worked his ACE off to get to this point. Critical panned movies or not, he is FRONT AND CENTER right now in Hollywood. It's where 90% of Hollywood WISH'S they were right now, especially has-been actors. Ben is fine and he'll knock The Batman out of the damn park.

Martha to Affleck this week,
"Be their hero, Ben. Be their angel, be their monument, be anything they need you to be. Or be none of it. You don’t owe this world a thing. You never did.”

Ben shows up at the WB meeting, and Kevin T sees a jar of granny's peach tea while making his speech.

Live By Night has the rewatch factor going for it. Reading reviews, most critics that I've read dislike that it doesn't bend to genre conventions. It's weird, but unsurprising.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Well, I consider Argo to be last in his filmography. That's me tho.

Affleck shoots action sequences like a beast tho.

Ben Affleck was at french TV, live, a few minutes ago for "Live by Night".
After a fast resume of his career, he had a small talk with a journalist about his new movie and how this one pays tribute to the old hollywood. The discussion continued briefly around the fact that one of his predilection themes was legacy and how he likes to use his hometown Boston in his work.
At the end, the interviewer asked him if, putting Batman aside, he had already an idea for his next film. The actor replied, with a smile, that the next step will be indeed Batman.

The theme of legacy being oftenly touch in the hero history, if Affleck succeeds to make the synthesis between his personal ambition of author and the Batman universe, this movie could be very interesting !
