Henry Cavill defends 'Batman vs Superman' costar Ben Affleck from haters
"Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice" is less than a year from its launch, but just as fans are looking forward to the mega superhero battle, some critics and fans alike are questioning Ben Affleck's performance and if the 43-year-old star can give justice to his version of Batman.
Fans continue to indulge in debates on social media and some outlets are bashing the recently divorced actor. The Time Magazine even wrote an account on why Warner Bros. made a wrong decision to pick Affleck for the mighty and sought-after role. On the other hand, the outlet said that one reason why fans disliked the idea is not because the masses don't like the actor himself bust just that his being cast for the role was absolutely unexpected.
But just the fires keep coming at the actor, his co-vigilante sticks up for him. Who could have known the actor better than Superman himself who spent a lot of time with the star during filming?

When asked about Batman, Cavill immediately said in previous interviews that he believes in Affleck's originality as a star and a filmmaker. When asked if he thinks the same as some critics who believe he will fail his character, Cavill said, "I'm sure he'll be fantastic above all else."
It seems Cavill isn't the only one who sees Affleck's portrayal of his character as confident as Warner Bros. does. According to Franchise Herald, Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane, has also spoken up about his co-star. Adams was only with Affleck in one scene but she pointed out that what she saw in Affleck was "fantastic."
Zack Snyder has also had nothing but good words for Affleck, including some other stars within the roster who will be part of the biggest superhero battle in the DC universe.
Debates still go on despite the defense of Affleck's co-stars, and until his Batman proves to nail it when the movie releases on March 25, 2016, fans might not completely agree with the idea of an aged and mature Batman.
