New Details on Ben Affleck's Batman in DAWN OF JUSTICE!

Minor spoilers here…


It’s looking like Ben Affleck’s Batman in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is shaping up to be a decidedly different take on the classic character. In what would seem to be an attempt to distance the property from Christopher Nolan’s Batman, Snyder’s film will see a much older, more seasoned Caped Crusader.

According to Devin Faraci at Badass Digest, when DAWN OF JUSTICE opens, Batman will have been patrolling the streets of Gotham for close to 30 years, and will still be little more than an underworld nightmare. There are stories and rumors, but he does his work under cover of darkness and is certainly not out in the open. He’s never even really been photographed. So for the people of Gotham, he is little more than a fantasy... But he's had plenty of adventures, and the Batcave includes a memorial centered around a tattered Robin costume.

The article also briefly states that Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) is also not a new addition to the MAN OF STEEL universe. She has been operating for quite some time as well, but like Batman, under the radar.
