I’m Batman, no wait that’s Ben Affleck – Skatronixxx

With the recent influx of movie news coming out of DC of late. Its clear that the comic-book-giant are quickly forming a massive-universe to rival Marvel’s own Cinematic offerings. With numerous appearances from Justice League mainstays slated to appear in Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. David Ayer’s Suicide Squad seems to be leading the charge as the universe builder with Batman revealed to appear in the villain-led movie.

In an interview with USA Today, Ayer revealed that Ben Affleck’s eagerly anticipated interpretation of the Caped Crusader will be cracking skulls and taking names in the anti-hero maelstrom. “We made him fight,” revealed Ayer, “he’s awesome [as Batman].”

The director also established that the two films are “the cornerstone of the beginning” of Warner Bros. universe which opens up the possibility for more cross-over cameos further down the line. “I love Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman, but having Flash and Aquaman and Cyborg and to see them all standing together, it’s a pretty dorky and cool experience for me,” expressed Snyder.

“Basically every one of those characters has a logo that you would recognize without them standing there, and that’s a hard thing to achieve in this pop-culture world. We have history to draw on, but we also have these new frontiers to forge.”

While Dawn of Justice is introducing audiences to new interpretations of long-standing DC heroes, Suicide Squad will use iconic villains such as The Joker (Jared Leto), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Deadshot (Will Smith) as unlikely-heroes forced to work for Amanda Waller’s (Viola Davis) Government funded team.

Although Affleck noted that he’s “bound by nondisclosure clauses a mile long”, the actor was able to disclosed that he was “really impressed” by Suicide Squad. “It felt like I have such a cool cousin. This thing that is so awesome is somehow related to me, and that was really exciting because it started to feel like a constellation of things, and I’ve never had that feeling.”

2016 is lining up to be DC’s year with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice arriving in theatres on March 25. With David Ayers Suicide Squad scheduled for August 5.
