For all the hate Ben Affleck's "The Batman' has been getting of late, including rumors of script problems, one must not forget that we actually have a decently proven director finally at the helm of a DCU movie. Affleck will first unveil "Live By Night" in the coming weeks, his take on the gangster genre, but here's actor Joe Manganiello, playing Death Stroke, explaining what Affleck is trying to do with "The Batman."
Joe Manganiello Desciption Of Ben Affleck’s "The Batman" Will Renew Hope In Skeptics
"His take is a fresh take, but I think the audience is going to be surprised. Because it's a road that no one's really gone down that's completely integral to, you know, who Batman is. And I think it's going to be refreshing, but at the same time completely familiar. But it's going to take this franchise in a direction that I think A LOT of people are going to be really happy about. It's going to be gritty and action packed and cerebral and all of those elements that people love about Batman. Ben's a great director, man. I mean, the last movie that man directed won best picture. He's got an Oscar for writing. Like, this is all the components to go down as a... everything is lined up for a really really really great movie. Not only a superhero movie but just a great great movie."
