'Batman v Superman' News: Ben Affleck Says He Would Have 'Picketed' DC Movie If It Were Anything Like 'Daredevil,' Feels Good About Dark Knight [VIDEO]
While it has been a role he has had to shake off his entire career, Ben Affleck is promising that his latest try at becoming a superhero isn't going to be anywhere close to his first try with Daredevil.
Speaking with NPR on Saturday, Affleck talked about his fighting with Daredevil and how playing Batman won't be on the same level as the other movie.
"Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil. I have regrets about all the movies that I don't think were executed properly," he said. "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."

Affleck has been outwardly glad with the work done on Batman v Superman so far and has championed both director Zack Snyder and writer Chris Terrio, who also worked with him on Argo, as doing a great job with the movie.
While it probably has too much to live up to, Batman v Superman most likely won't end up on the level of Daredevil just based on how much Affleck has come since then, establishing himself as a solid director with an Oscar and giving one of his better career performances in the recently released Gone Girl. But it also is a role that Affleck has had to fight so shaking it off with the role of Batman was most likely on his mind.
Batman v Superman also stars Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons and Scoot McNairy. It is set to open in theaters on March 26, 2016.
