Actor Ben Affleck once built a replica Batcave entrance in his house,director Kevin Smith has revealed.
Red State director Smith,who has worked with Affleck on six feature films,discovered the extent of the new Batman star’s love for the character when he purchased his old home,reported Digital Spy.
“His house that I would end up buying,when I first saw it he was touring me through the place and said,’Come here,I gotta show you my room’.
“He brings me into the room and goes,’Look at this’. There’s an office room and this beautiful bookcase – he reached under and he clicked something and all of a sudden the bookcase opened. I was like,’No! You built a Batcave?. And he
was like,’No I built a Batcave entrance!’ When you went in behind the bookcase it was a panic room,” he said.
Smith,who penned the Batman: Cacophony and Widening Gyre books for DC Comics,added that Affleck in the role of Batman “makes absolute sense”.
“This dude has loved Batman going as far back as I can remember. He only did Daredevil because he loved Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns,” Smith explained.
“He’s like,’They’re never going to make another Batman’,because this was after Batman had nipples. So he was like,
‘Daredevil’s cool,and Miller wrote him as well’. So he liked
the character,but it was always rooted in Batman. He’s always been into the notion. He’ll honour the character. I honestly think the dude’s a great actor,it makes absolute sense,” he added.
Zack Snyder’s and Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel sequel,
rumoured to be titled Superman vs Batman will star Affleck as the new caped crusader and will open in 2015.
