10 Things To Know Before Watching Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

4) Ben Affleck Is A Worthy Batman

Ben Affleck’s casting as the older, grizzled Batman of this movie received a strong backlash at first. It is good to know, then, that the actor’s take on the role has been largely well-received so far.

Variety calls the Batfleck a “winningly cranky, charismatic presence even when out of costume,” while Empire thought “Affleck underplays the role nicely…dispelling any lingering memories of Daredevil.”

On the other hand, some have criticized the presentation of the character. Crave Online said “If you thought that Superman didn’t act like Superman in Man of Steel, you will probably disapprove of Zack Snyder’s version of Batman.”
