After taking the lead in the, let’s say, less than revered 2003 Daredevil movie, the world – and we can assume the actor himself – thought Ben Affleck was done with the superhero genre. 13 years later, however, he played another rooftop-stalking vigilante. Except this time, he swapped his red cowl for a black one.

Yes, Affleck was at the centre of an internet storm when it was first revealed that he would play Batman in the DC Extended Universe. Upon the release of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, though, it became evident that he was one of the best things about the film and his gritty performance was miles away from his misguided take on Matt Murdock.
