Speaking to Total Film , Farrell said: "I always enjoyed watching him, as a director he's extraordinary too, but his work in The Town and Argo , he was so fantastic in both those films. In Argo, it was such a controlled performance.
"I think he'll kill it as Batman. I hope he does and shuts the naysayers up."
He added that Affleck has grown as an actor since his role in Armageddon in 1998. He said: "Good luck to him. I think he'll do a great job. As an actor, I don't know that I know anyone that's improved as much as he has. That sounds like a s**t thing to say."
Farrell, who has been clean of drink and drugs for eight years, also addressed his own career, saying that he is happy with how it has turned out.
He continued: "As a testament to how okay I am with where I am in my life now, I would do it all the same, but I would be damn tempted to change a few things.
"Maybe I would change a few things, but I'd change them with the awareness that I was taking a massive gamble and that I could have done films that were better received than some of the ones I did and I wouldn't be in as good a place as I feel blessed to be in now."
