Affleck also added, "What I wanted was to create a Batman that was sort of at the end of his rope physically and psychologically and emotionally, a guy who was beaten down by the world, a guy who was a little bit more of a slugger, who has more gray in his hair, and who was questioning whether the whole journey that he lived as Batman was in fact even worth it, given that he was not superhero, but now had to face a super-being, which none of the other Batmans had to confront in the movie world."
Aside from Batman, avid fans of Robin were sad to hear the news. The last portrayal of Robin was seen in Christopher Nolan's take on the franchise, which had the character played by Joseph-Gordon Levitt.
"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is expected to release in theaters on March 25.
