TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Ben Affleck Calls Justice League the 'Low Point' – and Attacks Warner Bros. Head-On.

Ben Affleck has followed up in a new interview – and hasn't minced words. The DC superhero epic Justice League is the "low point" of the actor's career. Both Kotaku and Deadline report this in agreement.

The available sources do not reveal exactly what motivation lies behind the new broadside or in which medium the interview appeared.

What you can take away from the material
