George Clooney convinced Ben Affleck not to play Batman
Popular Hollywood actor George Clooney tried to dissuade his colleague Ben Affleck from playing Batman. He himself admitted this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “We talked with him on this topic, and I told him then:“ Don't do it. ”According to Clooney, the reason was his own experience, which could not be called successful. Affleck did not heed the advice of his older friend and made his superhero debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice directed by Zack Snyder, which was completely crushed by critics and grossed significantly less than Warner Bros. had hoped. The situation with the second feature movie under the title Justice League turned out to be even worse: he was also disliked by critics and flopped at home and internationally. For a while, Ben Affleck was still listed as a screenwriter, director and performer of the title role in a solo project dedicated to Batman, but then he consistently lost all three jobs. The further fate of the character on the big screen remains unclear. It is quite possible that at the beginning of 2020 the shooting of the "solo album" will begin under the direction of directors Matt Reeves.
