Batman V Superman: 10 Spoilers We Learned From The New Images
7. Batman Has Been Operating In Gotham For Twenty Years
Ben Affleck's age was brought up a number of times throughout this feature, and even the actor admitted to being surprised when he received the call from Zack Snyder to play a Batman in his 40s.
Confirming that Bruce Wayne will still be keeping up the image of a billionaire playboy (which Affleck describes as being "a dichotomy which I thought was really fun, and a little sad, like the aging playboy"), it's also now been confirmed that the Dark Knight has been protecting Gotham City for twenty years.
Wayne Manor is described as being a desolate husk, overtaken by weeds and water-stains after years of neglect, while Batman himself is close to not only ending his time as Batman, but perhaps even his life. If rumours are to be believed, the cause of that might just be the murder of Robin at the hands of The Joker.
Clearly fighting alongside the Justice League will be what spurs Bruce to remember why he suited up all those years ago in the first place. If not, a number of movies essentially featuring the popular "Sad Batman" meme may end up getting more than a little tedious!
