Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ben Affleck reveals the advice he got from Christian Bale and George Clooney
No Batnipples?
Batman has been played by umpteen actors on the big screen - from Adam West to Val Kilmer - with Ben Affleck set to play the iconic superhero in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
It hasn’t been that long since we last saw The Dark Knight at the cinema, Christian Bale having played Batman in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy of films, and George Clooney taking on the role in 1997’s atrocious Batman & Robin.
On Good Morning America, Affleck revealed he had gone to both actors for advice on the role, asking for pointers on donning the iconic black suit.
"I talked to Christian, who just told me to make sure I got a zipper in the suit, which was valuable, practical advice as it turned out,” he told the talk show hosts (via DenOfGeek).
Meanwhile, Clooney apparently "gave [him] some advice which is not repeatable.” He may very well be referring to the Batnipples, but we won’t find out anytime soon for sure.
In other Batman v Superman news, it is looking increasingly likely that Jena Malone will play a pretty big character in the already packed superhero flick.
