Affleck Critiques Batsuit, Praises Fellow Batman Actors

Ben Affleck has criticized the Batsuit he wore as Batman in the DC Extended Universe, describing in a recent GQ interview how its heat and lack of breathability caused intense discomfort and exhaustion during filming. He detailed that even highly trained stunt professionals risked heat stroke after less than an hour in the suit, with sweat often causing his eye black to run. Affleck noted that these challenges detracted from the sense of heroism on set. He expressed admiration for fellow Batman actors Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson for enduring similar difficulties. Despite initial skepticism, Affleck's Batman portrayal eventually gained fan appreciation, though he is relieved to no longer wear the suit. His candid remarks have reignited conversations about the challenges actors face with iconic superhero costumes.
