Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

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.

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).

The Warner Bros, Ratpac Entertainment and DC Comics logos have autumn leaves falling.
