Finishing up his promotional rounds for David Fincher's thriller Gone Girl star Ben Affleck chatted with NPR about the script for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and some regrets he has about 2003's "Daredevil" .
The topic came up after he was asked if he had any second thoughts about taking on the part of Bruce Wayne/ Batmant because of the poor reaction to "Daredevil" (I liked the Director's Cut--it's really good!):
"Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil. I have regrets about all the movies
that I don't think were executed properly. ... Look, if I thought we
were remaking Daredevil, I'd be out there picketing myself ... and that
goes for other movies as well that I haven't been happy with. You know,
I'm hard on myself and I have exacting standards and I want to do
excellent work and I don't always succeed, but I think you have to start
out with that drive. [DOJ] was written by Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, who's not a comic guy. And it's directed by
Zack Snyder, who's a incredibly magical sort of visual stylist who's
steeped in the comic world. And you have this sandwich of talents. I
felt very confident about it. ... I thought it would be nice to make one
of these movies really, really good."
