No, that's not a typo in the headline. Ben Affleck might be wearing two different Batsuits in BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, according to a new report from Latino-Review. We've been hearing that Affleck's suit in the new movie will be very different from previous big screen versions, and both Batsuits described by the site below sound like they will fit very well in Zack Snyder's film. They're report on Ben Affleck's Batsuits isn't too different from what others have been saying about what Batman will be wearing in the upcoming movie, however there are a few new details worth checking out.
Kevin Smith has seen a Jim Lee-inspired Batsuit. It’s hard to tell who is parrotting Smith and who is an independent source confirming a rumor, but it seems likely to me that Batman will don the Grey-and-Blue on screen for the first time since Adam West. That means tiny ears on the cowl and a big black bat across the chest. This seems like it’s happening. The more interesting thing I’ve heard is that Batman will actually wear 2 batsuits in the film, but where as Grey-and-Blue has already been designed and Affleck has worn it, the second Batsuit is more armored like the one in the Dark Knight Returns and Kingdom Come comics. I bring this up, because this rumor seems a bit more expected in a movie where Batman fights Superman, because: of course, Batman would die without an armored suit.
The site also has a couple of other possible details about the armored Batsuit.
According to the source, the plating is silver/white. The plates are attached to a black undercloth. The plates doesn’t cover his entire body. We see the black undercloth at the joints. Supposedly, it looks incredible. Equally, or maybe even better-looking than the other suit and it’s leagues above and beyond Bale’s suit from what I’m told.
I actually had no problem with Christian Bale's Batsuit in his movies, but I'm very excited to see what Ben Affleck will be wearing in BATMAN VS SUPERMAN. Of course we have no way of knowing if any of this is true until an official photo is released, but I think it's safe to say Ben Affleck's Batsuits will be unlike other movie versions of the costume, which is a good thing in my opinion. So when might we be able to see the new suits? Latino-Review thinks we'll get an official look at the costumes sometime in February or early March.
BATMAN VS SUPERMAN will be in theaters on May 6th, 2016.
