"Of course it will [be good]. And [Affleck] is a wonderful actor, he’ll be great in it. Of course, he’ll be different from Christian [Bale] but he’ll be great It’ll be a lot of fun to watch, but it’ll be a new franchise again. It’ll be a new series. It’ll have a different backbone to it because it’ll be another director and another actor, but it’ll still be fun. It’s Batman, dude! It’ll be fun."
Eric Roberts also said that he would love to appear in a sequel somewhere down the line.
"That was one of the coolest experience I ever has because of where we shot it. We shot all the Chicago stuff in Chicago but then we shot all the other stuff that was in Gotham City old at the old blimp hangar about thirty miles north of London. You walk in there and it’s about three football fields wide and about three stories tall, and it’s all Gotham City. And if you’re a movie geek, which I am, it’s Heaven, dude. It’s so cool! That’s where they have it all shot, and it was so much fun to drive that half an hour out of London every morning and to work there."
Of course Eric Roberts appearing as Sal Maroni would be unlikely, but there’s no reason he couldn’t do a different role in an upcoming DC film. Eric Roberts latest film, Inherent Vice is in theaters now and does have Jena Malone who will be in Batman V. Superman in a yet unknown role (though heavily rumored to be a female Robin).
