I Believe In Ben Affleck

The first Batman v Superman trailer arrived a few days before it was set to premiere at a special IMAX event on Monday. And what we get seems to be an all-fronts attack on Superman from the press right on to an eye-glowing, voice-growling Batman.

Feel free to spend the next few days asking "Do you bleed?"

We've already seen Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and of course, Henry Cavill as Superman. And now director Zack Snyder has given us another glimpse into the world of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice by posting the first image of Jason Momoa as the first big screen version of Aquaman. Snyder made the reveal on Twitter, just like he did with the Batmobile and the first photo of the new Batman, and this time the photo comes with the curious tagline of "Unite the seven." Could this be referring to the seven members of Justice League or maybe the seven relics of Atlantis? We're not sure.

various sources are reporting that "Mad Max: Fury Road" is the next choice for the "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" trailer to premiere with. The "Fury Road" reboot has long been a dormant title under the studio until it was greenlit just recently. The movie star Tom Hardy playing the lead role of Max Rockatansky and is co-starred by Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Hugh Keays-Byrne and is directed by the original "Max Max" director George Miller.

“It’s Zack Snyder, so it’s going to be a visual spectacle. And it’s cinematic history. We’re doing Batman, we’re doing Superman, and it’s all happening at the same time. So fingers crossed it turns out to be as exciting as I think it is.”

Well firstly I will start that in my opinion WB made a mistake announcing that Affleck will be taking the mantle from Bale.I think people would have not reacted so outraged against the choice if it was announced maybe few months later after the Batman Rises came out.For me Affleck will do it and I will try to show few examples I have later on.

First off Affleck is a great screen writer not only an actor.Affleck himself has stated that when he was approached for the role they explained what they wanted to do.He deffinetly put real thought into the project and analyzed if he can make that particular charatcer come to life as in the script. Second I think he is ready for a solid comic book role.Some poeple may be too young to remmeber but when "Armageddon" came on,people were hyped how good Ben Affleck played the role.The cast was really famous at that time for that movie,so for him to have such a strong supporting role next to Bruce Willis,Steve Buscemi and others he did good.

While things have been pretty anti-climactic for fans recently following a news that the release of the much awaited movie is going to be delayed, their excitement may have just flared up as Warner Bros shares a glimpse of the film in a short trailer.

Also, Warner Bros reveals the title of the film as "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice." Reports have scattered over the web that a trailer of the superhero movie has been leaked online. Millions of film junkies flocked over Google's text boxes to have a sneak peak of what to expect in the movie.

An article by Movie Pilot describes the scenes in the leaked trailer: "The trailer starts with footage from 'Man of Steel' showing the destruction of metropolis while Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck) narrates. Batman seems to be questioning Kal-L/Superman's intentions towards Earth and its people. Batman then says 'Is Superman here to save us... or destroy us. I am going to find out,'"

It seems like it shows a little but tells a lot. In a movie where two superheroes grace the plot of the story, it is quite easy to expect one would turn out a villain.

It was told that the complete "Batman vs. Superman" trailer was uploaded on Reddit by 4chan. However, the video link posted on the website brings you nowhere as it has been dismantled. There are hearsays that say the trailer is descriptive, providing explanation on some scenes and dialogues. Until today, the alleged leaked trailer still cannot be found on Google. 

‘Man Of Steel’ actor, Harry Lennix, has confirmed that its upcoming sequel, ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’, will make fans of the legendary Frank Miller comic ‘The Dark Knight Returns’, very happy indeed.

Lennix, who will reprise his role as General Swinwick in the superhero hybrid, made the comments during an interview with Moviefone, where he tried his best to be tight-lipped.

After being asked whether he could say anything about the hugely anticipated blockbuster, Lennix laughed and said, “Well, no,” before he then added, “Anybody who’s a fan of the ’86 graphic novel ‘The Dark Knight Returns.’ I think will be well pleased by it. “

A new leaked video of 'Batman vs. Superman' shows an action sequence being filmed with a helicopter. There were a series of videos leaked recently that show the ongoing production for the popular movie.

The new video was reportedly filmed near the Michigan Central Station. The video shows a helicopter hovering in the air over a particular spot to capture all the action on the ground. The smoke on the ground indicates that it may have been a combat scene. The smoke starts to subside after the helicopter is seen leaving the scene. Click here to watch the video.

The recent video leaks from 'Batman vs. Superman' were about the new Batmobile in action. One of the videos shows a high speed chase scene involving the vehicle. Viewers can also hear some machine gun fire in some of the videos. Click here to watch the latest Batmobile video leaked.

Although there were multiple leaks from the movie, fans of the franchise have still not been able to get a glimpse of either of the two superheroes in action. There were official photos of Batman and Superman in their new costume, but very little is known about the reason for their conflict in the movie.

Although the economic downfall of Detroit will never be a positive thing, it does give filmmakers an endless playground of empty buildings and areas to shoot in. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (man of Steel 2) is currently filming at the abandoned Michigan Central railway Station, in Corktown.

A local news affiliate was able to capture some of the action for the weekend news cycles, including scenes of explosions and helicopters.

Over the summer scenes have been filmed at the former Detroit police headquarters and Wayne County building, the Russell Industrial Complex, riverfront, and many other locations. There are also thought to be plans to utilize the Eli & Edythe Broad Museum at Michigan State University.

Ben Affleck sees a little bit of himself in Batman, for better or worse. “I think it’s a necessity, historically, in the tradition of these films” to be able to channel deep-rooted anger, the actor said in a recent interview with London’s Sunday Times about playing the Caped Crusader in the upcoming ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’. “For me, anger is so deeply buried and contained that when it does kind of come out, it comes out in stronger bursts,” Affleck told the paper. “I tend to be respectful, polite, get along and put up with, then, when it finally emerges, it’s not something I have a tonne of control over. I’m not going to go into a Wolverine berserker rage, but I do have it. That is an interesting thing that you point out,” he noted, seemingly referring to a point made by the writer of the piece, that the ‘Argo’ director tends to do onscreen anger really well. “That’s my personality. By the way, that’s a character flaw, I think,” Affleck added. “I should sit down (when I’m angry) and say ‘Listen, I just wanted to let you know what happened there wasn’t OK’, instead of going, let it go. ‘Ah, that’s not a big deal’, until finally you just pop!”

So far all we know about Zack Snyder's new movie Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a few teased shots tweeted by the director and a cast list, but Ben Affleck has started to reveal some details on his version of the caped crusader.

Ben is busy juggling shooting on Dawn of Justice with promo duties for his other new thriller Gone Girl, and while he was meant to be mainly speaking about his lead in the Gillian Flynn adaptation in a Sunday Times interview over the weekend, Ben also opened up about Batman.

When Ben's casting was announced the internet had a meltdown, with many pointing to the actor's Daredevil flop ten years ago as proof he wasn't superhero material. But months on, Ben is ignoring his critics and getting stuck into the character. 

"I don’t worry too much about what other people say about me versus my own ideas and standards, what I’d like to do," Ben told the Sunday Times. "Particularly given that when I set out, in 2002 or so, to be a director, if I had listened to all the things people said about whether or not I’d be successful and what kind of movies I’d make, I never would have done it. It was a really good lesson in self-determination and trusting my instincts.”

Ben looks more sad than angry in this Batman teaser shot...

The star spoke to Entertainment Weekly about slipping into the batsuit.  And yes, he knows all about the “Batfleck” outrage. The actor, who turned 42 on Friday, also talked up his role as anti-hero Nick Dunne in the thriller Gone Girl, which opens Oct. 3. (Turns out, being a real-life tabloid target was helpful in prepping for the part.) Here, some of highlights:

Bruce Wayne’s the polar opposite of Nick Dunne:

The Oscar winner wouldn’t spill any secrets about the Bat-movie. So can we talk workouts? No doubt, the playboy-turned-vigilante crime fighter requires some major bulking up. EW pointed out that the star looked seriously buff at a San Diego Comic-Con event.

Not so for his other big-screen appearance: As Affleck points out, the superhero has pretty much nothing in common with Nick Dunne, hisGone Girl character who’s suspected of murdering his wife (played by Rosamund Pike). 

Further plot leaks for 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice'

“You know what? It’s great that people do care that much. They want to see the movie that much. And it is incumbent on you to honor the story. There are the Greek myths and these are the American myths. The American myths are these superheroes. People care about ‘em a lot. And it’s incumbent on you to do a good job and make it as excellent as you possibly can. At the end of the day, the movie’s all that matters.”

Steve Scott draws what Ben Affleck could look like in Batman/Superman

Ben Affleck playing Batman in a Superman movie is hardly the end of the world, and if history is any indication, it might not even be that bad.

It's about a jauntily dressed interstellar superbeing battling a karate-genius billionaire orphan dressed up like a bat. I would not be at all surprised if some portion of the movie takes place on the fucking moon, and that will have way more of an impact on the film than Ben Affleck's presence. Batman wears a hood with a pair of motherfucking rabbit ears attached to it, and we're worried that the manunderneath that hood is going to be too ridiculous to believe?

People were less outraged over the anti-Semitic overtones in Mel Gibson's The Killing of the Jesus, and that movie was about a real dude at the center of one of the most powerful religions in history. Batman vs. Superman is about two fantastical imagination men punching each other across a world of make-believe. Let's try to keep our feelings of personal injury and anguish in perspective.
