'Batman vs Superman' Cast News: Studio Head Reveals Why Huge Ensemble Won't Be 'An Issue'
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will apparently stay grounded while not being overstuffed, according to one producer.
Why Is Ben Affleck's Batman So Bulked Up for 'Batman v Superman'?
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will feature the first live action film interaction between Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill). This already sounds like a monumental concept for a film, but it doesn't end there. The blockbuster will also feature the live action film debut of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). There will also be iconic characters like Lois Lane (Amy Adams), Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Alfred Pennyworth (Jeremy Irons) and cameo appearances by Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher).
Even for the biggest DC fan, this sounds like a lot to stuff into one movie. But Batman v Superman producer Charles Roven told Collider recently that the film will not feel overstuffed and suggested it will primarily be focused on the Batman-Superman dynamic.

"I don't think that's an issue for this film at all," he said, referring to the film potentially including too many things. "I really don't... I think that the film is called Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, so there's a reason it's called Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and not Dawn of Justice: Batman v Superman. So you're gonna invest mostly in Batman v Superman and I think that you'll find other characters in there that you hopefully will want to see more of."
And even with all these superheroes in the mix, DC will still maintain its style of trying to keep everything as grounded and realistic as possible.
"We tried [to make it all feel real] when we brought it here, when Zod came here, we wanted to make sure that we followed that. We actually talked about what would that technology translate to here. And I think you'll see in Batman v Superman we stayed true to that, we were attempting to stay true to that, how are things affecting Superman here, Batman is still human, he's not Meta, he's just a human, Wonder Woman is Meta, if you will, although some might think that she's a God," Roven said.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled for release on March 25, 2016.
