Batman fans worried about Ben Affleck’s size

When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman, many fans were worried he just didn't have the physicality needed for the role, especially compared to Christian Bale, and Henry Cavill who would co-star with him as Superman.

Zack Snyder's vision for this Batman was that he was older, and more experienced, darker, and more of a brawler at this stage in his life. He needed to have more of a larger intimidating frame rather than a more slender athletic look.

Ben trained for a year with well known celebrity trainer Magnus Lygdback, and when combined with the new bat suit, looks superb as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the new movies.

Hey he deserves extra points for not mentioning chicken, broccoli and rice

[reynaldolunajr.]

He is the scariest Batman with his beefed up size. To see a guy that size staring at you from the top corner of a room in the shadows, scary.

The fight scenes hands down are the best in a batman movie up to date. Ben deserves a solo batman movie. So underrated.

[alby]

The only batman who actually looks like BATMAN.

[RenoDW]

The fact that Ben's physical body looks more like Batman in the comic than the other actors made me even love Batfleck man

[XitachiRNA]

He was perfect for the role. People keep forgetting he isn’t a year 2 Batman but a Batman who is on his last leg. And he did great

[VanillaBear]

One of my favorite Batmen honestly. He needs more screen time

[HDGamerofficial]

Batfleck is my favourite version of Batman, the his look is SO imposing even without the Batmech suit, his regular suit looks amazing and I’m so glad Affleck got to show off all his hard work in the workout scene 👏👏👏

[Tek-Knight]

Alot of people say he didn't workout for the role but I remember seeing paparazzi pics of him in 2014 and you could tell he had definitely bulked up

[ashbringer]

The heck? He is one of the closest to Batman physical appearance in fact I think he was perfect for the role; it just bad scrips didn’t make justice for him to show off as Batman

[DavidJohnsonFromSeattle]

Definitely the best batman we ever had. He was genuinely terrifying

[rs]

Damn, you feel that sigh at the end. Respect.

[DenizCDemir]

Ben was the Batman that I didn't know I needed.

[senormarston]

I really liked his Batman, specially in BvS. I wish we could have more movies with Affleck's Batman and Cavill's Sups

[joseboutsen]

He really represents frank Miller batman

[thehumenthing]

Clearly a good amount of the people who didn’t like Ben’s physique have never read The Dark Knight Returns, which was what Snyder were going for.

[roguenation]

Ben's Batman was a beast! Really hope he gets a solo movie

[imborededitz]

This was the most comic accurate *Batman* we ever got

[Backwoods_]

Dude looked straight outta the comic books...his build was spot on.

[flavioroloff]

When I first saw that he was going to be Batman I got really happy. I think he's very underrated.
