8 Major Batman V Superman Details Revealed By Total Film

3. It's Not Too Soon To Reintroduce Batman

Everyone seems so excited over the fact that Batman and Superman are finally going to be sharing the screen that the question of whether or not it's too soon for another live-action version of the Caped Crusader after Christopher Nolan offered an end to his story hasn't really arisen. However, it turns out that it's something those involved with the franchise did consider before giving Batman v Superman the green light. "The interesting this is, Batman's been around for 75 years or something," producer Charles Roven pondered. "As different writers tackle him, the movies in how he's interpreted are different. Obviously Chris' Batman was different to Tim Burton', and Zack's is different again." That's fair enough, but did the prospect of following Nolan ever worry director Zack Snyder? "As far as American mythology, he's kind of a thing that does get reinvented from time to time. I had some conversations with Chris Nolan about what he thought. We discussed it a lot, like what the tone would be, what the mood would be, how I would make it different." While those two may have been more than happy to bring Batman back to the big screen then, one person who did have a lot of reservations is the man they wanted to wear the Batsuit! However, Snyder managed to talk Ben Affleck into saying yes, convincing him with concept art and an impressive sounding story pitch. "I got really inspired what he was doing. If I felt we were trying to do the same thing that those guys have done beforehand with Christian, I probably would have shied away. But because it's within the Batman canon, but a very different take on the character, I thought, 'Maybe it's not too soon.'" Honestly, everyone here is saying the right thing, and it really does sound like this Batman will be unlike anything ever seen before. Snyder is of course a fairly divisive filmmaker, but if Affleck (who has found great success by taking the helm of critically acclaimed movies like Argo and The Town) has faith in his vision for Batman v Superman, then comic book fans probably should too!
