Today marks a special occasion for Hollywood and Batman fans, as August 15th marks the 45th birthday of Academy Award winning director and actor Ben Affleck - who plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne and Batman in the DC Extended Universe since his debut on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice last year.
Announced to play the new version of the Caped Crusader on the DCEU nearly four years ago this month, Affleck's casting was met with criticism and backlash from just about everyone in the comic and movie world - until he debuted in BvS and quickly proved to be one of the main highlights of that film. Accepted and pretty much playing one of the best interpretations of the DC Comics character in the big screen, Affleck would reprise his role as Bruce Wayne and Bats in a cameo role in 2016's Suicide Squad. His next full appearance will be alongside the rest of the Metahuman team he and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman are gathering together in "Justice League".
To commemorate his performance, here's a featurette on Batman/ Bruce Wayne from the BvS special features included on the Blu-Ray and Digital releases.
Happy Birthday Batfleck! Batman will return in "Justice League" this November!
