Anyone who plays Batman is sexy AF, and that includes Ben Affleck. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor opens up about his portrayal, including the most recent one he’ll be doing in the upcoming Justice League.

“He’s put in this position of having to reach out, find other people, convincing them to do something,” Ben explained. “Part of the drama of the movie is the question of whether or not the team is going to come together. It’s very different from the tenor of the last movie.”

And the character is very different, too. “BvS departed a little bit from the traditional Batman,” he said. “He started out with all this rage directed at Superman, because of his coworkers who had died in the fight Superman had with Zod.”

For Ben, most of the hero’s ensuing actions were defined by barely-repressed fury – in contrast to the Batman we meet in Justice League. “He was holding on to a lot of anger, in a little bit of an irrational way,” he said. “Whereas this is a much more traditional Batman. He’s heroic. He does things in his own way, but he wants to save people, help people.”
