Kevin Smith Can't Stop Describing Ben Affleck's Batman Suit
We get it, Kevin. You’ve seen Ben Affleck in the Batman suit! Stop bragging already!
Smith has gone on record as saying he was lucky enough to see a photo of his buddy Affleck – star of multiple View Askew movies – in the renovated Bat suit that he’ll sport in Zack Snyder’s Batman-Superman movie. He attempted to describe it to his podcast listeners a while back. But now that Jennifer Garner has gotten busy describing her husband’s suit as "a complete reinvention," Smith is ready to elaborate on what he saw.
The writer-director explained in his Fatman On Batman podcast (via Comic Book Therapy) that the photo he saw of Batman’s new suit was set on a rooftop, and actually included Superman! Smith says:
You can watch the entire event below. It’s totally worth your time if you are interested in D.C. Comics and the building cinematic universe.
You know what would rock right now? If Snyder and Warner Bros. dropped a photo of the new Batman suit. We are talking an AWFUL lot about this suit, and then we have to come back down to Earth and realize that the movie has been pushed all the way back to 2016. The studio is going to have a challenge teasing fans who now feel like it’s an eternity until that blockbuster eventually drops. But a costume photo would DOMINATE. Do it, Warner Bros. Let Smith debut the image on his Smodcast network. It would make our year.
