We may be protesting too much but we’re pretty shocked that Ben Affleck has called Batman ‘the American version of Hamlet’.
It’s a bit of an odd comparison, but Ben clarified his comments, adding: ‘We accept that [Batman] is played by actors with different interpretations’ – as we do with Hamlet.
Fair enough, Ben, fair enough.
Ben will be the eighth Batman to hit the screen when Batman V. Superman hits cinemas in 2016 – following in the footsteps of Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery, Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale.
