As you may have realised after reading the interview we published with Ben Affleck yesterday afternoon, he's being very careful what he says when it comes to discussing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, we've rounded up a few different interviews for you and they combined make for a pretty interesting read! In a chat with The Today Show above to promote Gone Girl, the actor and director touches on how the film has been conceived in a new and interesting wayt before once again shrugging off the vocal response from fanboys by saying, "You have all of this attention — some of it's positive, some of it's negative. I think, in the end, you make the movie and it either works or it doesn't." (thanks to ComicBook.com for the heads up on that one).
In a chat with The Detroit Free Press, Affleck talks in detail about spending time in that city shooting Batman v Superman (it's well worth having a read of) before moving on to specifically address why it's a good choice for both Metropolis AND Gotham. "There are things to be discouraged by here and there are things to be inspired by here. I find it really dynamic. There are parts that look like Metropolis and parts that look like Gotham City." We also have the Tweet below, and you have to imagine that refers to The Dark Knight Returns suit we saw in that leaked Comic-Con footage!
