When Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill sat down for an interview after the first batch of negative reviews for Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice came out, Cavill masked his disappointment exceptionally well, but his co-star did not. Affleck appeared to be sad and despondent.

YouTube user Sabconth then took the footage and added Simon & Garfunkel’s melancholy folk song “Sound of Silence” and a slow zoom-in on Affleck’s unhappy mug. And that is how the “Sad Affleck” was born.
In a recent interview with People, Outlander star Sam Heughan, asked the interviewer — who was happy to oblige — if he and his co-star Caitriona Balfe could have some cheeky fun by recreating “Sad Affleck.”
Check out Heughan’s impression of the internet meme in the video below.
In Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
