Ben Affleck Compares ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ to Christian Bale’s ‘Dark Knight'

Recently, the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer was released and fans got their first real look at Ben Affleck as Batman. Now, Ben Affleck is opening up about how his Batman stacks up compared to Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale’s version of The Dark Knight.

Recently Ben Affleck spoke to French magazine Studio Ciné about how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be different from the Nolan Trilogy, saying (via The Hollywood Reporter):

"Christopher Nolan used his Batman to tell a finite story. My version is different, but remains faithful to the Batman mythology and all the themes associated with it.”

Affleck went on to compare his Batman to Christian Bale’s version of The Dark Knight, adding:

"Nolan’s Batman isn’t part of a universe where other superheroes exist as well. Here -- because we’re working towards the Justice League -- there’s Superman, and it’s a world populated with super beings. This situation generates an altogether new reality."
