If you’ve not had your fill of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice photos and the like (see here, here and here), we’ve got another little nugget of information for you via EW’s coverage. Turns out, Batman and Wonder Woman are rather familiar with each other in the movie to the point where they even know their secret identities.
Speaking of the photo released yesterday of Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince dancing, Ben Affleck said, “I love the fact that there was this Thomas Crowne Affair, Bond-y sexy scene that they wrote about two people who are pretending to be two different people who each know the secrets of the other person.”
Affleck also added in the interview that his Batman is, “at the end of his run, and maybe the end of his life. There’s this sort of world-weariness to it”
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
