Ben Affleck celebrates freedom from Batman by banishing costume to late show ceiling rafters
Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
After so many years of suffering the paychecks and prestige that comes with playing Batman, Ben Affleck has now confirmed he’s finally free from his personal dark knight of the soul. No longer will he need to scowl through Justice League or Suicide Squad movies. No longer will he have to endure having kohl rubbed onto the areas around his eyes. He’s put all that behind him.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Affleck appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to send off his costume in the most Batman-appropriate way possible: casting it to the shadows of the late night set’s rafters. First, however, he took a moment to explain his inability to make a real impact on the DC universe.
