Zack Snyder wanted to cast Christian Bale in Batman v Superman

Don't get too over-excited. about casting Christian Bale in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice aren't in reference to the Dark Knight. Although, according to the director that's exactly what Warner Bros. was hoping f🍬or - Bale'🥂s return as Batman.

“This is a total and opposite reality from the Chris Nolan movies," he says, addressing the complex issue of multiple cinematic worlds. "It’s another universe, so we couldn’t hire Chri♛stian Bale if we wanted to, because he doesn’t exist in our world. Maybe we could hire him to play another part. We ♍did talk about that briefly. I just wanted to hire Christian to play another part to make that obvious. Christian could play, like, Alfred with age makeup. No! Of course not. But you know what I mean."

"Even people at the studio would say, ‘Who are you getting from the other mo𓆏vies?’ And I was like, ‘Hey, come on guys, let’s all understand, it’s a different world.’ In the Batman universe that Chris Nolan created, Superman would have a hard time existing. That that’s why we did a reboot on the universe, so we could allow these characters to exist together. We needed to do that to have Batman exist in this world.”

It's interesting to hear Snyder talk about the reason behind rebooting the universe - the need to have Superman and Batman side by side. And he's got a point with Nolan's movies. In the grimy, real world of the Dark Knigh🔯t trilogy it'd be tricky to throw in Clark Kent and Supes.

I could still see Bale alongside Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ex-SAS chief-of-staff though.

Directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Diane Lane, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Laurꦫence Fishburne, and Amy Adams, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive in UK and US cinemas on March 25, 2016.
