Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 6406698" data-attributes="member: 1">A couple of interesting new tidbits being widely reported from the below interview with Batman v Superman producer Charles Roven.  Wonder Woman in Batman vs Superman is a demigod.  Her father was Zeus. (She's had a couple of origins in the comics; I believe this is the current comic-book version).  Roven got more in depth on Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne/Batman. "We knew that we wanted a very mature Batman," he said, "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.  "We also wanted a guy with big stature," Roven added. "Ben is 6' 4". Henry [Cavill] is 6'1". We wanted Batman to tower over Superman. Not hugely, not like a basketball player. Superman needed to 'look up' to Batman. We wanted that dynamic, and Ben could do that, easily."  Finally, Roven said, "He's much more of a social animal in the Bruce Wayne incarnation, but he's also an extremely rough guy in the Batman incarnation - very, very, very rough."  [video=youtube;qyJvBNTMGLw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyJvBNTMGLw&list=PLosF1szCO64kj7MssdCChsm4TLBD6jw7x&index=1[/video]</blockquote>
