Zack Snyder Explains Why 'Batman' Has An Advantage Over 'Superman' In DAWN OF JUSTICE

This guy just gets Batman. In another new excerpt from Total Film, Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder weighs in on why the Caped Crusader will always have an advantage on the Man of Steel, while Ben Affleck makes a shocking admission about his armoured Batsuit...

If there's one thing us comic book fans are probably never going to stop arguing about, it's who should win in a fight between Batman and Superman. Next year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is obviously going to address that in a live-action setting for the first time, and Total Film were quick to ask Zack Snyder how exactly he's going about handling their conflict. Unsurprisingly, the filmmaker pointed out the same thing that many other fans do when talking about these two heroes going to war; Batman has the advantage. "The advantage that Batman has is the goodness of Superman," he explained. "The compliance to fair lay that Superman has...Batman knows how to exploit Superman." In other words, the Dark Knight is gonna be fighting dirty! 

Of course, part of his strategy includes donning an armoured suit inspired by Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Shockingly, the magazine reveals that the costume - which we've on display at various Comic-Cons this year - is 100% CGI in Batman v Superman, and Ben Affleck described donning a mo-cap suit for those scenes as,
 "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..." he joked.

I think this confirms that the Batman-Superman fight is more of a duel than a Kal-Zod like brawl.

Even if Batman plays dirty, he doesn't stand a chance against Superman please, stop Snyder, it just make more obvious that if he loses is because of some bullsh*t made up that in any normal situation wouldn't happened.

That doesn't sound like batman, that sounds like the punisher. I really don't like the idea that Batman and Superman are just killers now, taking away a great plot point for both those characters.

Are all just going to ignore the fact that the Batman suit will be 100%? I'm interested to see how that turns out. I hope it's not as terrible as GL.

"his goodness"

Half of Metropolis would beg to differ on that.

I'd say the edge Batman has is the fact that he can't turn his neck in that cowl.
