1) He’s A Sexless Loner
In the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice scene where we find Bruce hungover, Alfred alludes to his suspicion that there won’t be any future generations of Wayne to carry on the family name. It’s not just a throwaway line: Alfred hints a couple of times that our new Bruce Wayne is not a bachelor, but more likely some sexless loner. Alfred mutters to himself that it’ll “be the day” when Bruce finds a partner, indicating that Bruce has been out of the dating game for some time.
Of course, Christian Bale’s Bruce was at heart another loner, but he undeniably enjoyed the company of women. There were supermodels, there was Rachel Dawes in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and there was Selina Kyle and ‘Miranda Tate’ in The Dark Knight Rises.
Affleck’s Bruce, meanwhile, shows no interest in the opposite sex. There’s not even a mention of his playboy days, while the only time there’s a hint of sexual tension comes when he confronts Wonder Woman. Even then, it turns out he’s only talking to her in order to reclaim a piece of his equipment she stole.
