Ben Affleck Rewrote Parts Of Batman V Superman On Set, Dressed As Batman

By Dan Woburn / February 26, 2016

Sources close to the production of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice have revealed to US Weekly that Ben Affleck re-wrote some, or a lot, of his lines on the fly. Whilst it's comforting that these re-written lines are in the hands of an Oscar-winning writer (Good Will Hunting, anybody?), it's equally worrying that the lines needed a once-over in the first place.

" would go into wardrobe and get all suited up for the day in his Batman suit... Then he would sit around reworking the script. Ben wasn€™t thrilled with it and would find himself on multiple occasions fixing it the day of.€

Ouch. The script was originally penned by David Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight) and from there handed over to Academy Award-winner Chris Terrio - who, ironically, won the Oscar for Argo's adapted screenplay. It's annoying being on the outside looking in when it comes to rumours like this; your mind just sets ablaze with curiosity. Was the original shooting script really that bad? At any rate, Affleck seemed to think so. In other news, Deadline have reported on some early tracking for the movie; word on the street is, thanks to the Easter weekend and buzz generated by that recent R rated news, that the film could bank anywhere north of $100 million opening weekend. The most generous ventured guess is around $160 million, but we won't know for certain until the actual numbers hit the tracking boards this coming Thursday.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is released on 25th March.
