The latest "Batman vs. Superman" movie buzz relates to Ben Affleck's alleged character details being "leaked" online by MoviePilot.com. However, looks like a film buff with "Man of Steel 2" connections has shot down the rumors.
Forbes film blogger Mark Hughes has confirmed on his official Twitter account the plot details describing a Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan universe mash-up are completely false. The "Man of Steel" franchise will not coincide with "The Dark Knight" franchise's story lines.

However, a rumored batsuit reveal is just around the corner and "Batman vs. Superman" costume designer Michael Wilkinson recently dished to Esquire about his design process.
@Fadelmochamaad If you mean you heard Affleck is playing Batman from the Nolan films, no that's not true.

"[Snyder] has such a great vision for this film, the cinematic universe that we're creating together with the production designer and the cinematographer," Wilkinson told Esquire. "It has a logic to it. It's very tight. It's a very gritty, real, contemporary world. That's what I had in the back of my mind when I tried to think of a Batman that works for that universe."
"...We're doing a few tweaks to the Superman suit," Wilkinson explained. "We want to make sure, again, that it's updated and feels fresh and right for this installment of Zack Snyder's comic-book universe."
The "Batman vs. Superman" designer also revealed no detail of the Wonder Woman, Batman or Superman costumes was left untouched, even the crotch area.
"When you're designing superhero suits, it all comes down to the crotch. And if you're doing a female superhero, the bust," Wilkinson told Esquire. "You have to present things in an appealing way but something that's not too confronting and has the right tone for the film. It's something where you have to use all of your costuming skills to find that balance."
"Batman vs. Superman" is scheduled to open in theaters on May 6, 2016.
