Sad Batman Goes Viral After Ben Affleck BvS Interview
The recent lukewarm reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been a frequent topic, and now one interview with Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill's response to reviews has gone viral.
In an interview with Yahoo, both stars were asked about how they felt in response to critic's low rating of the movie. YouTube user SabConth noted Ben Affleck's somber face, and used the opportunity to layer Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" over it, a la Arrested Development. Hence, the Sad Batman meme was born and we were all the better for it.
