There are very few legitimate reasons to wear anything more complicated than sweatpants, and a movie premiere certainly is not one of them, as Ben Affleck displayed last evening in London.

Affleck hit the town for the European premiere of Suicide Squad, and heroically declined to button his pants all the way.

Does Batman button pants? I don't think so, buddy! Who has time to button their pants when the world can go down in flames at any moment?

Presumably, guests at the premiere yelled, "yikes!" the second they saw Ben Affleck and he knew that somewhere, there was a crisis only he could solve and jumped into action.

There's always a chance that Jared Leto is filling the theater's air conditioning units with dead rats and glitter or something.

The Academy Award winner certainly seemed very concerned throughout the evening.

The premiere came and went without a hitch, unless you count the part where people actually watched the movie. Thank you, Ben Affleck, thank you.

Please kick back and vape to celebrate a job well done.
