Ever sinceBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewas first announced, fans have wondered exactly howBruce Waynewill be able to win in afightagainst Kal-El. Well, a recently leaked LEGO set revealed exactly how that will happen.SPOILER ALERT!Batman has a gun that’s equipped with Kryptonite bullets! But, according toZack Snyder,Ben Affleck’sDark Knightis packing something even more power than a weapon.
Having directedMan of Steel, and with bothJustice Leaguemovies on the horizon, it’s clear thatBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticedirectorZack Snyderknows his way around the DC Comics universe. And he has a deep understanding of what makesBatmantick. He’s finally weighed in on the Bruce vs Kal-El debate. And as he sees it, the Dark Knight has one clear advantage over the Man of Steel.
“The advantage that Batman has is the goodness of Superman. The compliance to fair lay that Superman has…Batman knows how to exploit Superman.”
So, not only will Batman riddle Superman’s body withKryptonitelaced bullets, he’ll also exploit Superman’s weakness for Truth, Justice and the American way. How that will be handled in direct combat hasn’t been unveiled. But it sounds like a majority of the movie will have Bruce Wayne campaigning against the extraterrestrial known as Kal-El. So, it sounds like Batman is ready to pull up his sleeves and fight dirty!
Speaking of a dirty fight. As we know from the two previous trailers and some of the photos already released, Batman is going to suit up in special armor to fight Superman. While this special armor has been seen at various conventions like San Diego Comic Con and New York Comic Con, the suitBen Affleckclimbs into in the movie is actually CGI. When we see Bruce fighting in that suit on the big screen, its actually the actor wearing a Mo-Cap suit. Shocking? Perhaps. About that,Ben Affleckexplains.
“The most humiliating, ridiculous thing in the world. You can move freely, and they put [the suit] on digitally. It’s a little bit more humiliating to wear, but it’s easier for the digital effects guys. You can see who the priority is…”
The suit will be 100% CGI during the epic fight scenes. ButZack Snyderwon’t be! Speaking from the Bob Kane ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier this week, the director did confirm that he has a cameo in the movie. But we won’t get to see his face. He explains to411Mania.
“You won’t see my face. I pick some things up, but that’s it.”
This isn’t the first timeZack Snyderhas stepped in front of the camera. He’s also had cameos in his 2004 zombie remakeDawn Of The Dead, and if you look really hard, you may find him in his 2009 DC Comics adaptationWatchmen. Stay tuned as we bring you moreBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicecoverage in the coming months. We only have 153 more days to go!
