Ben Affleck says that The Dark Knight and Man of Steel don’t share many scenes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

March 3, 2016 by Robert Kojder

Despite literally being titled Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck has told Premiere Magazine that The Dark Knight and Last Son of Krypton actually don’t have many scenes together.

“It is a continuation of Man of Steel, so I came to the world of Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill,” he said. “In fact, we didn’t share many scenes. With Henry, it was a little the night shift and the day shift: We crossed with our suits, as if we worked in the same company but we didn’t hang around so often together. On the other hand, when we were in the same sequences, there was something electric.”

So, do we think that the various scenes show in the trailers of Batman and Superman going at it are the only ones in the final cut? Let us know in the comments below.

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.
