VIDEO : Ben Affleck And Matt Damon Once Auditioned To Play Robin In A Batman Movie

Ben Affleck nearly played a different hero in another Batman movie, and he was competing with childhood friend Matt Damon for the role. Affleck and Damon were child actors who would travel together from Boston to New York City for auditions. One audition for a secret project turned out to be Tim Burton?s Batman. Affleck says, in the elevator ride after auditioning ?we were both pretty sure we got the part,? although he now wishes Damon had landed the role.
