Ben Affleck Reveals The Origins Of The BATMAN V SUPERMAN/STAR WARS Back-And-Forths
For quite a while now, fans have been treated to a friendly rivalry or sorts between directors Zack Snyder (Batman V Superman: DOJ) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: Episode VII. In the following video interview, Ben Affleck tells us how it all got started..
It all began with a picture of Henry Cavill (Superman) draped in a Jedi robe, sporting a lightsaber...or did it? Over the past few months, both Zack Snyder and J.J Abrams have been posting picture/video homages to each other's currently shooting movies. The latest was actually our first officially released set vid of the Millennium Falcon, revealing a a built-in mini Batmobile! We all hope this little back-and-forth continues, but how did it start? In an interview with Yahoo! , Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne/Batman) spills all.
“I think it was started because JJ [Abrams] and Colin Anderson, who is a great [camera] operator who always works on my movies, and JJ is always trying to steal, and I’m trying to steal back, sent me a picture of the two of them wearing cheap Batman masks. I showed it to Zack [Snyder], and said ‘this is bullshit, we have to do something'. I think it’s cool. The sort of meta-awareness of these movies, and the two directors going back and forth… I like it, it’s cool."
This of course led to that infamous Cavill pic below. Do you think this will continue? If so, how could Snyder (who's turn it is next) up his game to compete with that Falcon vid? Sound off in the usual place.
