Ben Affleck Dons The Dark Knight's Armor In Awesome New BTS Still From BATMAN v SUPERMAN
Thought the Caped Crusader's armoured suit was all CGI? Think again, as this gorgeous new behind the scenes image from Batman v Superman features a fully costumed Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight.
In a lengthy interview with Playboy, photographer Clay Enos has talked about working with Zack Snyder and shared a new behind the scenes image from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. That features a confrontation between the Man of Steel and Dark Knight, and as you can see, Ben Affleck is fully suited up in the armour many assumed was mostly special effects. Asked about who was easiest to photograph, Enos had this to say about making each member of The Trinity look amazing in stills.
"It’s hard to say. Gal is so beautiful and strong and awesome. She’s a ton of fun and she’s new to the genre of superhero films. But then Henry is the spitting image of the Superman that you have in your head. It’s crazy. When he’s got his cape on and he’s in full costume, you’re shooting Superman. The only other male icon that’s in your head for your whole life is Santa Claus. And then Batman is a giant, hulking awesomeness of dark who presents challenges because his costume is dark. He’s also so awesome that you let it go. On some level it’s just a chin for Ben as Batman. But what a chin it is."
