Ben Affleck's low point in Hollywood was when he was with J-Lo and made Gili.
Then he bounced back with "Hollywoodland" and directing "Gone Baby Gone". He said being behind the camera taught him what an actor needs to do.
Then he goes on fire with "The Town" and "Argo" by winning Best Picture for a film he directed.
He was back on top, Hollywood A-Lister. Do you know how HARD it is to claw your way back from Gili?! Then Batman made him an internet meme, critics hated him again, lost all credibility, started drinking again, his "Live By Night" suffered from his downward spiral and tanked. Which further ruined his reputation.
Then his marriage suffered and he ended up divorced. I feel so sorry for him. He was on his way to being a Hollywood elite like Eastwood or Costner actor turned director...

He can cry all the way to the bank with those fat paychecks he got for his Batman work.

That and his performance as Batman was far from the worst element of those movies. In fact, I recall Affleck being one of the few things praised in Batman versus Superman. So why that made him depressed, I don't understand. If the stench doesn't touch you, why cry about it?

Nope, Joel Schumacher did.

Then he was promised the director job of "The Batman" and he was thinking it would be the next "The Dark Knight" starting him and directed by him.

He probably discovered that the leash was tighter than he expected especially for a franchise property that is soooo worn out yet with a million executive hangers on.

Most people tend to assume it was Affleck's decision not to direct. Surely the studio would have kept that promise otherwise.

If George Clooney can recover from "Batman and Robin", I'm sure Affleck will be fine.
