Ben Affleck has explained why he left the DC Extended Universe and chose to hand over his role as the Batman to Robert Pattinson.

 

The actor had played the Caped Crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, and also had a cameo in Suicide Squad.

 

In an interview with the New York Times, Affleck spoke of his decision to exit the project  following his divorce from Jennifer Garner. “I showed somebody The Batman script,” Affleck said. “They said, ‘I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went though again.”

 

Affleck then spoke of his “troubled shoot” on Justice League and detailed his relationship with alcohol following his separation.
