I think Mr. Affleck is talking about the traditional version of Batman that appeared in the comics for several decades. These comics had mass appeal and sold in large numbers because you could get them in every 7-11 and every other store in the country.
This was before the super hero comics industry was taken over by wanna be hipsters who wrote comics and "graphic novels" for a small group of adult comic fanboys. This is why when a comic book movie comes out they usually try to follow the more original version of the super hero. This is why a comic book movie will sell more tickets in one weekend than there are comic books sold in an entire year.
That's why the movie makers give more weight to what the movie audience wants than to what was in the latest "graphic novel" that nobody read.
