The Wrap Up: ‘Batman vs. Superman’ Producer Reveals New Details

ScreenCrush wraps up the latest in movies and TV you might have missed. Today, more details are revealed about Ben Affleck's Batman, a 'Freaks and Geek's reunion is teased, and 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' gets another poster.

FEATURED: The producer of 'Batman vs. Superman' explains the film's new take on The Dark Knight:

He was the first guy we went to. That's who we wanted. We knew that we wanted a very mature Batman, because we wanted to juxtapose him with this very young Superman. So we wanted a guy who was tougher, rugged, who had signs of life, who had lived a hard life, and we wanted the guy to have chops, for sure. So when we went down that list, there just weren't a tremendous number of guys who could carry that.
