In Empire magazine's big feature on Justice League (via Screen Rant) Affleck addressed the Batman v Superman backlash, saying that he understands why some of it happened:
?I can understand people saying [Batman v Superman] was too dark, or this was outside the tone of what I?m used to seeing with a Batman story, and I think that?s a fair criticism.?
Affleck also made sure to differentiate what's coming with Justice League form what happened with Batman v Superman, saying: ?Zack wanted to make a movie that was more fun, that was a little bit light, that wasn?t so encumbered with heavy melodrama."
