Man of Steel is soaring on Blu-Ray and DVD now while the creative team is working on the sequel in which Superman meets the Dark Knight.
In a new interview with Variety, veteran producer Charles Roven explains why Ben Affleck is the actor they wanted for Batman opposite Henry Cavill.
“We wanted a guy who had a certain age and a certain gravitas to what he had done in terms of his recent work,” Roven says. “If you take a look at ‘The Town’ and ‘Argo,’ he plays a couple of serious guys in those movies. He’s a big man. He’s also a mature man. As you see him and Henry together, one definitely has much more experience just by looking at him. That’s what we wanted, particularly juxtaposed against our Superman.”
No official title yet for the Superman vs. Batman project but it’s scheduled for Summer, 2015.
