Ben Affleck has garnered mass recognition for donning the cape crusader, and recently he revealed he wanted to play an on-screen superhero.
To impress his kids! yes, Affleck unveils the reason in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Awards Chatter” podcast.
”I did Batman because I wanted to do it for my kids,” he said. “I wanted to do something that my son would dig. I mean, my kids didn’t see ‘Argo’,”
“I wore the suit to my son’s birthday party, which was worth every moment of suffering on ‘Justice League’,” he noted.

“I’ve been sober for a while now, and I feel really good — as healthy and good as I’ve ever felt,” says Affleck. “And the process of recovering from alcoholism has been really instructive. I think it’s great for people who aren’t alcoholics, you know? Like, ‘Be honest. Have integrity. Take accountability. Help other people.’ It’s a good set of things that they teach you. It took me a little while to get it — I had a few slips, like most people — but I feel really good.”
Affleck first donned the cape in 2016 ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’. He also returned in a cameo as Batman in 2016’s ‘Suicide Squad’. Ben will make his return for one more time in ‘The Flash’ standalone movie.
