“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” will showcase an older Bruce Wayne and with age comes a new set of interests.
Batman-News reports the production has allegedly shot a scene featuring Wayne (Ben Affleck) at a big MMA fight at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. Wayne’s appearance at the event doesn’t go unnoticed.
“The Masonic Temple is a reception hall for weddings, parties, banquets, etc. and they transformed a large kitchen into an underground MMA fighting arena and bar,” Batman-News reports. “Kind of like in the movie Fight Club. People from all types of backgrounds were down there betting on which fighter would win. And in walks our hero.
“Bruce Wayne shows up to bet, which makes people wonder ‘what’s this billionaire doing here?’. Wayne replies to that by saying, ‘I’m kind of a night person’ and ends up having a discussion with someone at the bar.”
The “Batman vs. Superman” production has yet to comment on plot details, but Affleck recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his casting in the latest DC installment
Affleck claimed he is happy fans are already invested in the film, but doesn’t pay attention to the negativity. Affleck knew many would doubt he is capable of properly portraying a superhero, but didn’t let the possible backlash deter him from taking on the role.
“Before I took the role,” Affleck explained, “Warner Bros. gave me a bunch of past reactions to casting and said, ‘Are you sure you want to get into this? This is part and parcel of these movies now. There’s a lot of active fans with a lot of opinions.’ To me, having been through a certain amount of that, it doesn’t really… Everyone’s entitled to their opinion.”
“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” will be released to theaters on March 24, 2016.
