The movie is out and reviews are in for the latest movie from DC Cinematic Universe, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and apparently critics from around the world are not very impressed with it.
The film currently has only a 29 percent rating on movie review site Rotten Tomatoes and a 44/100 score on Metacritic.
During an interview with Yahoo Movies, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, who portray the Batman and Superman characters respectively, were asked about the bad reviews. While Cavill was answering a question, Affleck's apparent sad face caught the attention of a YouTube user named Sabconth.
The video, which zooms in on the actor's gloominess with Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" playing in the background, quickly went viral, making him the latest meme star on the internet.
Ever since news broke about Affleck portraying Batman, the internet has not been very kind with the Oscar-winning actor, pinpointing his previous failed movies such as Gigli co-starring his then fiancé Jennifer Lopez and the infamous Daredevil.
With Batman v Superman not seeming to do well, at least critics-wise, it looks like internet trolls are not yet done with making fun of him. (+)
