Should have used the picture of him smiling in Gone Girl.

I like how the whole theater audibly groaned when he smiled for that pic.

Covering the nostrils again? Hope Affleck has an easier time breathing through those holes than Bale.
Shirt doesn't matter. What matters is that shoulder-to-waist ratio. DAMN.

Yea, he is massive. This is exactly why I wasn't worried about him being Batman.
Oddly, one of the first things I said when he was announced to be the next Batman was how great he'll look in the cape and cowl because of how damn broad his shoulders are.

I wonder if Snyder is going to overcompensate WW just to shut the haters of Gal Gadot up?
You KNOW he's going to have her do some badass shit like Faora.

Snyder has always represented women positively on screen. Say what you will about Sucker Punch (and there is plenty to say about that glorious failure) but it has some of the most incredible VFX action scenes I've ever seen and they are all featured around female protagonists.
I expect no less for his Wonder Woman..., even though I'm expecting her to really be a minor character in BvS.

Yep. Same with Watchmen. Silk Spectre 2 was, arguably, given more 'cool' moments than she had in the comic-book. Sucker Punch is just the worst, but I don't know of anyone else who even tried to do a big budget, all female led sci-fi/action film hybrid.
And I've also said Snyder + a good script is a surefire win.
I don't think I'm the only one amazed that shirt exists and that he is wearing it.
*sharp intake of breath*
I am a huge Snyder fan and even I can't bring myself to claim that Sucker Punch is anything other than a misfire but it's a wildly ambitious project that just never comes together.
If anything Snyder's reach has always far exceeded his grasp and yet Sucker Punch just feels like Snyder missed the mark and instead of something special we get this bizarre oddity that still has much to recommend about it.

I like it. But what I really want is Blue and Grey Bats =/.
I watched Watchmen for the first time yesterday and.. I think maybe a Justice League movie will work.

At the very least, Sucker Punch is more interesting than most movies because of the things you mentioned before. It's beautiful at times, and Snyder has good taste in music leading to some pretty chill scenes. It was among the first movies I watched on a new TV i'd just bought, and I liked it before I even cared to notice who the director was.
I think it'll be more respected years from now. It already has a bit of a cult following.

Short interview with Charles Roven, producer on BvS. He drops some Interesting info regarding Batman and Wonder Woman.

Apparently they wanted for Batman to tower over Superman.
That's...huh?
And Wonder Woman, if his comments are taken at face value, will in fact by a demigod fathered by Zeus and not some have some alien-origin or some such to explain her powers.

Great interview.
He really emphasized "rough" to describe this Bruce Wayne. More signs that we're going in that Frank Miller direction. Interesting that they also want Batman to tower over Superman.
Also sounds like they're going New 52 Wonder Woman.
They're usually the same height and build, but I could see why they'd want to do this. Sounds more and more like they really want this Batman to be imposing and intimidating.

I'm imagining batman beating the hell out of someone and that's why supes thinks he's a bad dude.
Maybe some room for "you need to lighten up bruce" or some kinda witty banter between them.

It's fine. Just be happy she's of Greek mythology and not from Krypton or some other bullshit.
I've always hated that origin. I'm happy the Greek myth stays, but I wish Azzarello and DC would have given Diana something more unique to her when they decided to ditch the made of clay origin.

I actually enjoyed the clay origin. If your looking for unique...

I completely understand, but the mythos is the most important thing. The birth origin ultimately doesn't matter all that much, especially in a movie series. Once you establish the Greek mythology and the Amazons, you can have a legitimate Wonder Woman arc that everyone can respect.

I'm just here to say they are filming in my town...this week.
Applied to be an extra, but didn't picked, however, my good friend/roommate did, super excited for him. Might go down and try to catch a glimpse of filming if I have time.

He actually said that Batman will be rough, but that Bruce will be a very social person.

I'm one of those people who think the New 52 is far more interesting than their previous reboots.
As the video is privately listed and may go down, here are the bullet points (driven by the interviewer's questions)...
- Christopher Nolan is an executive producer with his wife, but involved in an advisory capacity, including the casting of Ben Affleck.
- Amused by the reaction to Affleck's casting.
- Affleck's casting motivated by having a very mature Batman, juxtaposed against a young Superman, who could carry a sense of experience, with physical stature over Superman.
- Affleck was their first choice.
- Snyder reached out to Affleck first, but there was a pre-existing familiarity, particularly since The Dark Knight and The Town were acclaimed at the same time (likewise for Rises and Argo). There was a studio relationship when Affleck was attached to an earlier version of American Hustle.
- Affleck signed after understanding Snyder's vision, which has Wayne as a much more "social animal" and Batman is much more a "rough guy."
- A deliberate effort to create a shared universe with super powered beings.
- "Wonder Woman is in it, we know that. She has powers. She's a goddess. A half- a demigod- she's a demigod. She- her father was Zeus."

Can not wait to see a making of for this movie.
I actually love the clay origin, but I'm open to alternatives. Wonder Woman Earth One is supposed to have a new origin, and I'm really curious to see what it is.
I get that, but my main probLem is that it misses the most crucial part of Diana's origin: that she is a woman born entirely of woman. The birth is important because it's a key part of Marston's original vision of the character. It's like if Bruce Wayne's parents were killed in a car crash instead of by Joe Chill. You still have tragedy and could still have him turn his grief into a desire to save people, but that key part is still missing.
Eh the gods have aLways with Diana's life. It's what they do. My biggest concern is going nu52 means we get THE BABY like you said. Fuck that shit.

Not tower, just wanted him to be a tad bit taller then superman to have supermans eyes look upward when standing next to batman, probably the same for when hes clark and talking to bruce. Towering would be 7 foot basketball player like he said. They wanted a imposing batman.
