Zack Snyder reveals a hidden gem: a rare photo of Ben Affleck’s Batman costume!
In a thrilling Instagram post, director Zack Snyder shared a never-before-seen image that has fans buzzing. It’s a black-and-white Polaroid of Ben Affleck, fully suited up as the iconic Batman, from the set of ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.’ This exclusive photo offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at Affleck’s portrayal of the legendary Dark Knight.
The image, capturing Affleck in Snyder’s distinct visual style, has already garnered over 150,000 likes. Fans are divided, with some mourning the end of Snyder’s DC era and longing for a solo ‘Batfleck’ movie. Others praise Affleck’s Batman costume as the best ever, sparking passionate debates among fans.
But here’s where it gets controversial. Ben Affleck himself opened up about the challenges of his dark Batman era, revealing why Snyder’s vision for the DCEU had to evolve. Affleck told GQ, ‘We had a problem reaching a younger audience.’ This led to a clash between the filmmaker’s vision and the studio’s desire to cater to a broader demographic. A recipe for creative differences, indeed!
Warner Bros. and DC’s strategy shift has paid off, with James Gunn’s Superman movie smashing records. Gunn credits Snyder’s support, and Snyder’s recent Instagram activity suggests a newfound comfort in revisiting his DC days. Could this mean a potential return to the SnyderVerse? Fans are eager to find out!
What do you think? Was the departure from Snyder’s original vision necessary for the franchise’s success? Or do you believe the #RestoreTheSnyderVerse movement has a valid point? Share your thoughts and keep the discussion going!
