Man of Steel star Henry Lennix says that Ben Affleck will be a better Batman than Christian Bale, in part because Affleck is American while Bale is British.
“There’s no question in my mind that he’s going to be terrific as Batman,
“I think he’s going to be perfect,” the actor, who plays General Swarnick in “Dawn of Justice” as he did in “Man of Steel,” said during a recent interview.
“Ben’s a very, very intelligent guy, he’s also got talent, he’s a brooding type of actor, and Batman has that temperament.”
“I’m especially excited that we’ve got an American actor here, that’s increasingly rare. The last guy, who did a great job, Christian Bale — is British. I think that when you’ve got somebody that doesn’t have to act like an American and embodies that ethos, if you will, then that gives him a head start,” Lennix added to Vintage Sound 93.1 FM.
“And knowing how intelligent and how artful that he is as a filmmaker and actor, I think he’s going to do a terrific job.”
