"Batman vs. Superman" filming is inching closer, and it's possible we will see Ben Affleck's version of the Caped Crusader controlling some interesting "gadgets" in the movie.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a producer linked to the film named Daniel Alter may have leaked information about the use of "bat drones" in the "Man of Steel" sequel.
"Can't wait for #BatmanvsSuperman.. #batfleck semi-retired/not speaking to Robin anymore.. Controlling drones from the batcave," Alter tweeted.
It is curious Alter mention Batman was no longer speaking to Robin as rumors have spread across the Internet of a possible Nightwing appearance. "Girls" star Adam Driver was allegedly up for the role of Nightwing, but denied the rumors to The Huffington Post.

The use of drones isn't the only "Batman vs. Superman" detail that has allegedly been leaked online. During Kevin Smith's podcast, "Hollywood Babble-On with Ralph Garman and Kevin Smith", the filmmaker told his audience director Zack Snyder had showed him a photo of the new Batsuit.
"I saw the costume, more than that I saw him [Ben Affleck] in the costume...I don't want to give anything away cause that is up to them and stuff, but I am going to say this...I instantly bear hugged him. You have not seen this costume in film before. Because every other movie has done this matrixy black armor thing," Smith said during his Podcast.
"There wasn't a single nipple on this [frick]ing suit man. I think everyone is gonna be like 'Holy Shit!' We haven't been down this path before. Even the Hardest core '[frick] this movie' person will be like 'alright, I'm ready!'" Smith added.
However, there was a detail censored containing a potential influence for the Batsuit.
"Batman vs. Superman" is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2015. Filming for the "Man of Steel" sequel will reportedly begin early 2014.
