AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck discusses "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and compares it to "Daredevil, The Movie". He assures fans that the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel won't repeat the failure of his previous superhero movie.
"Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil," the actor says to NPR in a new interview. "I have regrets about all the movies that I don't think were executed properly. Look, if I thought we were remaking 'Daredevil', I'd be out there picketing myself."
"I'm hard on myself, and I have exacting standards and I want to do excellent work and I don't always succeed, but I think you have to start out with that drive," the "Gone Girl" star continues.
He is confident with his Batman role because there is "this sandwich of talents" involved. "It was written by Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, who's not a comic guy," he says. "And it's directed by Zack Snyder, who's an incredibly magical sort of visual stylist, who's steeped in the comic world."
"Dawn of Justice" will make its way out across the country on March 25, 2016. Henry Cavill is back as Clark Kent, Amy Adams returns as Lois Lane, Gal Gadot is tapped as Wonder Woman, and Jesse Eisenberg is set to play Lex Luthor.
