Over the course of a career that’s lasted well over 30 years – with more than 25 of them being spent dwelling among the upper echelons of the A-list – Ben Affleck has pretty much seen and done it all at this point.
He’s headlined modern classics, appeared in some of the worst movies of all-time, led big budget blockbusters to massive box office success, taken part in more than his fair share of flops, won two Academy Awards, established himself as a director to be reckoned with…. oh, and he’s also the DCU’s Batman.
Even though he’s appeared as the Dark Knight in many Warner Bros. productions, the studio failed to read the room after launching a celebratory Twitter poll seeking to determine the best film he’s shown up in under the company’s banner. Needless to say, we shouldn’t have to explain what happened in the comments and replies once it came to light the Caped Crusader was nowhere to be seen.
In WB’s defense, The Town and Argo are both vastly superior to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and either version of Justice League. Your mileage on The Accountant may vary depending on personal preference, but it would be a serious stretch to suggest that Robert Rodriguez’s recent Hypnotic is one of the four best features hailing from the studio that Affleck has ever lent his name to.
Then again, it’s not as if SnyderVerse supporters aren’t used to feeling shunned, overlooked, or ignored.
