Josh Brolin was one of a few actors being considered for the role of Batman in Man of Steel 2, and the actor recently revealed why he turned down the iconic role.

Brolin discussed his decision to not take the role of Batman in a recent interview, essentially citing creative differences as a primary reason.

"Me and Zack had a conversation about it," Brolin said, "and there were several reasons why we said it wasn't the best idea on both sides. I had mine and Zack had his."

Brolin also noted that he's not a big fan of all of the hoopla surrounding the process of taking on such a big role.

"To me it's not about being cool and all that stuff," he said. "Looking back over your shoulder and saying that one line everyone's going to remember? Maybe I could do that. But I do roles that aren't necessarily all that cool. All my stuff is a little off."

Brolin tried his hand at a big comic book adaptation for the 2010 film Jonah Hex, which failed both critically and commercially. The film scored a measly 12 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and only made $10 million at the box office.

Ben Affleck wound up taking on the role of Batman for Man of Steel 2, a film that reportedly hasn't even begun production yet. The film, which has been referred to often as Batman vs. Superman, was delayed to a 2016 release by Warner Bros.

Man of Steel 2 is scheduled for release in theaters on May 6, 2016.
