According to The Daily Mirror, Ben Affleck says that, in an interview with The Sunday Times, he shares a certain character flaw with Bruce Wayne - rage.

"I think it’s a necessity, historically, in the tradition of these films."

"For me, anger is so deeply buried and contained that when it does kind of come out, it comes out in stronger bursts. I tend to be respectful, polite, get along, put up with, put up with, put up with… then when it emerges, it’s not something I have a ton of control over. I’m not gonna do a Wolverine berserk rage, but I do have a, I do…"

Now, we've already heard Warner Bros. CEO Keven Tsujihara describe Snyder's middle-aged Batman as a crimefighter who is "tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile". The Daily Mirror speculates that fans
 "can now expect a 'darker', 'reclusive' superhero… who is full of 'rage'." Will we be getting a less-restrained Batman who has trouble controlling his anger, much like Bale's portrayal at the height of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight? And, if so, how does this character contrast with Henry Cavill's Superman? Regardless, The Daily Mirror can't wait to find out. Do you share the same sentiments? Sound off below.

I can't wait.... I also think it would be really cool if in some way, they show us that The Joker exists in the DCCU, even if it's just by mentioning his name or something, or mentioning Batman's encounters with The Joker

Exactly. An Ace Chemicals sign or Jason's suit in the Batcave would be awesome.... I'm hoping we get a lot of nods and easter eggs

"I'm just hoping we get a film that tops TDK in terms of quality. Might be wishing a lot, but I'm hoping. No CBM yet has topped that movie for me, especially that ending."

i agree, in my opinion TDK is the best cbm, but im hoping BvS can top it

I hate when people say Batman's character is rage. I would say he more of a sociopathic, paranoid, genius & psycho. I don't think we will sadly be getting the master detective, strategist, tactician & martial arts expert.
