Warner Bros. Wants More Batman In Batman V Superman?
It looks as though Ben Affleck’s Batman has really gone down a treat with Warner Bros… as it’s rumoured that they want more of the Dark Knight in ‘Batman V Superman’.
According to Umberto Gonzalez at Heroic Hollywood, the studio was so impressed with Ben Affleck’s performance that they’re keen to shift the balance in Batman’s favour.
“The latest hot rumor I am hearing is that Warners is requesting more Batman be put into the movie and less Superman,” he revealed. “Supposedly, Ben Affleck’s Batman is so good that he is blowing Henry Cavill’s Superman right off the screen.”

Of course, this comes just weeks after the studios rumoured internal presentation of ‘Batman V Superman’ – the one that apparently ended with a standing ovation from all the studio bods who saw the film.
And it’s apparently all down to Ben Affleck.
“With Ben Affleck riding high off of Argo and Gone Girl, he is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet,” says Gonzalez. “So it only makes sense Warners would want more of the potent combination of him and the Batman.”
Amidst rumours that Ben Affleck has been granted an entire Batman trilogy of his own, it sounds as though claims that Batman has become ‘the crown jewel of the DC Universe’ are pretty much on the nose.
But will Batman get more screen time in the upcoming superhero clash?
If the rumours are true, this could well mean some reshoots for ‘Batman V Superman’ in order to give Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight a bit more screen time. And with such a complex story on the cards, that could well mess with the balance of the already completed storyline.
Either way, it looks as though Ben Affleck’s Batman is already turning heads at the studio. But will he impress the fans? For now, we’ll have to wait and see.
‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’ heads to cinemas on 25 March 2016.
