Ben Affleck is set to play Batman in the upcoming blockbuster, the first live action depiction of the iconic character since Christian Bale in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. While Bale's Batman has become well known in its own way, Snyder wanted to do something a little different with Affleck's.

Snyder recently spoke with Comic Book Resources about his new approach to Batman.

"I definitely wanted an older Batman. I wanted a war-weary Batman. That's why, in a lot of ways, Ben was really perfect for me -- we kind of aged him a little bit," Snyder explained. "It worked really great. I'm really excited about the Batman we created."

Affleck's Batsuit has a bit more fabric than Bale's armored suit.

"I had a really strong idea about what I wanted to do -- I really wanted to do sort of a fabric-based Batman; not what's become the more normal, armored Batman. That's how we evolved it," Snyder said.

Snyder also teased that there may be more information about Batman v Superman to come, giving fans a better feel for what to expect in the film.

"All people have to go on are the first two trailers. They're going to see more when we show more. You'll learn more," he teased.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled for release in theaters on March 25, 2016.
