DC Actor Interviews That Went Off The Rails

The DC Universe has spawned some of the best and worst superhero movies of all time. It's also created memorable bonus material in the form of epic interviews that range from completely charming to absolutely mortifying. Here are the most awkward chats with actors from DC films. Ben Affleck had a big suit to fill when he was cast as Batman after Christian Bale's famous three-movie run. So it was no surprise that Affleck was contending with a mixed reception before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was even released in 2016. And unfortunately, the hits kept coming after the film debuted. When Yahoo! asked Affleck and co-star Henry Cavill about the movie's poor reviews, Cavill explained in his lovely British accent that the reception from fans is what matters the most. But as for Affleck? Let's just say he had trouble masking his feelings, and just like that, a meme was born. The viral YouTube hit known as "Sad Affleck" features the Yahoo! interview layered with Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" as the camera slowly zooms in on Affleck's downtrodden face. The spoof garnered so much attention that nearly a year later, Affleck himself weighed in on "Sad Affleck." BBC Radio 1 asked him what he learned from the film, to which the actor deadpanned, "It taught me not to do interviews with Henry Cavill where I don't say anything, and they can lay Simon & Garfunkel tracks over it. Now that's one thing I learned."
