Kevin Smith has revealed that he has already seen Ben Affleck's Batsuit for the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman."
Smith told Coming Soon that the new suit was very different from the previous versions and that it would be mind bending. He stated, "I saw the Batman costume. More than that I saw a picture of [Ben Affleck] in the costume. Now, 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 (Snyder). You have not seen this costume in a movie on film before, and for a comic book fan it was mind bending. I was like 'Get out of here, only you have enough power to pull this off.' Because everyone always like does this 'Matrix'/'X-Men' black armor...It was fantastic. I'm already a flag waver for this movie, but the costume, it blew my mind. I think everyone is just gonna be like 'Holy [Expletive]!' It's its own thing, man. It's like we haven't been down this path at all. I was so elated....Even the hardest core "[Expletive] all this" person will be like 'alright, I'm ready.'"
The comment comes after Smith hosted a Yahoo Q&A session with director Zack Snyder and Amy Adams for the launch of the "Man of Steel" DVD.
During that session new artwork was revealed for the film that showed Batman and Superman dueling. Snyder also hinted that Lex Luthor could show up as he talked about Superman's arch nemesis. "Lex loves calling him an alien," said Snyder.
The new movie is slated to star Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne. David Goyer wrote the script, which is being produced by Deborah Snyder and Charles Roven. Warner Bros. will release the new film on July 17, 2015.
