For some actors, landing a marquee superhero role is a career-capping honor.
That performer being, of course,Ben Affleck.
Afflecks unhappiness during his Batfleck period was well-documented and became prolific meme fodder.

His last time as Batman came with a cameo in 2023sThe Flash.
One reason seems to be his less-than-happy state of mind while he was on theJustice Leagueset.
There are a number of reasons why that was a really excruciating experience.
But I certainly wouldnt want to replicate an experience like that.
A lot of it was misalignment of agendas, understandings, expectations.
I had my own failings, significant failings, in that process and at that time.
It started to skew too old for a big part of the audience.
Like even my own son at the time was too scared to watch the movie.
It wasnt time completely wasted, however.
I had a really good time.
I loved doing the Batman movie.
And it was something we really went for in the first movie.
