    • Trivia
      In an interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (2009), Ben Affleck said he was warned by Warner Bros. about the possible negative reaction to his casting, and was advised to remain off the Internet after the casting announcement. He also said, to assuage his concerns, the studio showed him negative comments that fans had initially made to previous superhero castings. Affleck said in spite of the studio warnings, he still checked out an online message board. The first comment he read was, "Affleck as Batman? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" After seeing that, he immediately went offline.
    • Goofs
      When Superman and Batman are fighting, Batman releases a smoke bomb. Superman could use his X-ray vision to follow Batman's movements, but he looks surprised when he goes through the smoke and Batman is gone. In fact, these bombs contain lead which disrupts Superman's vision. When Batman is preparing his bombs in the Batcave, a chemical formula is written on each bomb, the letters "Pb" are present (symbol of lead).
    • Quotes

      Bruce Wayne: We're criminals, Alfred. We've always been criminals. Nothing's changed.

      Alfred: Oh, yes it has, sir. Everything's changed. Men fall from the sky, the gods hurl thunderbolts, innocents die. That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men... cruel.

    Enjoyed the film - saw extended cut
    I heard bad reviews about this movie but wanted to see the DC movie universe in prep for The Justice a league Snyder cut. Overall I really liked it. Felt that Batman was darker than usual (didn't think he killed people but a does a few times in this movie). Over all it's a great super hero movie.

    Only complain is I felt like Jesse Eisenberg really tried to be a Heath Ledger Joker in his way of showing Lex Luther. Long hair, erratic movements, playful yet crazy manner, and just the way he spoke his lines really made me feel like he was trying to channel Heath in his portrayal. Other than that I enjoyed the film a lot.

    FAQ10

    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
    • Whose handwriting is on the newspaper clippings sent to Bruce Wayne?
    • What is the meaning behind Batman's dreams/nightmares?
