This is pretty much a given, but I suppose if anyone out there actually thought the new Justice League movie universe was a continuation of the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Batman universe, producer Charles Roven clears things up.
Coming Soon suggested to Roven that it could be looked at that the older Ben Affleck Batman in Batman Vs. Superman is actually the same Batman as Christian Bale, but set further into the future.
Charles Roven shot down that theory noting super humans don’t exist within the world of Nolan’s Batman, but do within the new Justice League universe:
Do you think so? We really wanted to make a clear demarcation line. Chris [Nolan], Emma [Thomas] and I would talk about how, in his “Dark Knight” trilogy universe, there are no superheroes. Batman is not a superhero. He doesn’t have super powers. Chris would always say, “His super power is that he’s a billionaire. He’s got all this money.” I viewed it that Bruce Wayne was a man who took his human abilities, whether they were physical or mental, and pushed them to the absolute peak of the human condition. But he still wasn’t a superhero. Then the villains, whether it was Ra’s al Ghul or the Joker or Bane, they were also all human. They might be aberrant, messed up and diabolical, but they were human beings. When we started doing “Man of Steel,” Chris and Emma were producers on that one as well. They knew that they were opening up a whole different universe. Even though the fans sometimes talked about, “Maybe Joe [Gordon-Levitt] is going to be the Batman in ‘Batman versus Superman,’” we knew that was never going to be the case because it is a different universe. In the universe we created with “Man of Steel,” there are superheroes. There are aliens. There are metahumans. The character of Batman isn’t Christian Bale ten years later. He’s different. He’s come up a different way. His parents, even though they died outside a movie theater, didn’t die outside an Opera theater. We thought about those things. I was involved with both movies and “Dark Knight Rises” was three or four years from the time I started working on “Batman v Superman.” It made me feel better that I could go, “That was that and this is this.” It’s just going to a different place with the material and expanding it out.
Regarding Ben Affleck, he’s writing a new Batman standalone movie script with Geoff Johns, and Affleck is due to start filming Justice League this week.
Not only did Christopher Nolan argue against the controversial ending to Man of Steel, but Nolan also argued against the Batman Vs. Superman ending.
Warning: Major Batman Vs. Superman SPOILERS follow
The end of Batman Vs. Superman saw Superman kill Doomsday, but DD also killed Superman (more on that here, with Zack Snyder commenting on the return of Superman in Justice League).
The Collider caught up with Zack Snyder and asked when and where did that decision come about, and what did WB think about the decision to kill Superman.
It was pretty early, and [Christopher] Nolan and I had long conversation about it, a really great, sort of philosophical conversation about it. He was really cool because he played an amazing devil’s advocate about why not to do it, and then in the end was like, ‘No you’re right, it’s better to do it.’”
Zack Snyder continues with mention of an alternate ending to Batman Vs. Superman that didn't see Superman die, but yet Snyder didn't specifically explain what it was, instead giving a different example (which resembles Captain America and Hulk).
We had a version that we talked about where [Superman] just—this isn’t it, but where he got frozen and shot into space or something, so he’s kinda gone. Because one of the big things I wanted to make sure of was that as we went into Justice League, Bruce Wayne was the one who was gathering the Justice League. I thought it was really important to have Bruce Wayne be the samurai who goes and finds the other samurai, that to me was important. And with Superman around it’s kinda hard, because Superman’s Superman so it’s kinda hard for Bruce to be like, ‘Yeah I wanna put a Justice League together’. It’s like, ‘Okay, but maybe Superman should be doing that. You’re just a guy. You’re a cool guy, don’t get me wrong, but you’re just a guy.’
Snyder also says another reason he wanted Superman to die was so it would be more relatable to humanity.
“I thought for the evolution of Superman’s character, there’s a crucible that he has to go through to really embrace his humanity or find what is the ultimate thing about being human? The ultimate thing you face is your mortality, and that’s a thing that I think is really cool about this.”
Regarding Warner Bros. reaction to the death of Superman:
“The studio was like, ‘What?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah but, how about I called the movie Dawn of Justice?’, and they’re like ‘Okay, okay, I like what you’re doing, I see what you’re doing.’”
Snyder then talks about bringing Superman back:
“I’m gonna say this: the second you do the first part of it, the death and resurrection are the same thing in a weird way. You have to know. The reason I wanted to do it the way we did it is because I don’t want the audience completely off the hook with it. They still have to go like, ‘What the fuck? Are you kidding me?’. There’s a way to signal towards a more definitive resurrection concept, but I didn’t wanna do that because I want that to be real for them when they see it, I want the experience to be real and then the sort of need to be real later on. Suffice it to say there is a plan, but that’s gonna be—you need to wait and see.”
Following the cool interview with Henry Cavill, check out Singapore’s Today talking with Ben Affleck about Batman Vs. Superman.
Affleck talks how he likes that this Batman takes place in a world where there are other super beings compared to the Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy, how he connects to the character of Batman, working with Zack Snyder, the advice Christian Bale gave him and more.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves.
Synopsis:
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Yesterday saw Christian Bale back up Morgan Freeman’s sentiments that Batman Vs. Superman will not be able to beat The Dark Knight Trilogy, and now Yahoo caught up with Bale to talk about Batman in which Bale offered he wish he had been able to do more with the character.
“I didn’t quite manage what I hoped I would throughout the trilogy,” Bale said, noting Batman had a monstrous side. “Chris did, but my own sense of self is like, ‘I didn’t quite nail it.’”
Bale continued with mention that when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker, it overshadowed everything, and rightfully so.
“Heath turned up, and just kind of completely ruined all my plans,” Bale said. ‘Because I went, ‘He’s so much more interesting than me and what I’m doing.’“
Bale also offered he was done with Batman. Check out the video:

Ben Affleck has some big shoes to fill as the previous Batman, Christian Bale, was popular amongst the fans as was Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy.
ET caught up with both Bale and Morgan Freeman who offered they don’t think anything will ever be better than their Nolan Batman movies.
“Everyone brings their own element to that — Ben [Affleck] will do that as well,” Bale said about playing Batman. “I think the trailers are looking great and I’m looking forward to that.”
Morgan Freeman had his own two cents to add.
“I’m happy for Ben [Affleck], but I don’t know how that’s gonna work,” Morgan Freeman said, who played Lucius Fox for Nolan. “Because The Dark Knight was almost ‘it.’ Pretty much ‘it.’ Did you see Batman Begins? I don’t think you can beat that.”
“Right on for Morgan [Freeman] for saying no one will ever be that, I very much like him,” Bale responded.
Watch the video below.
Update: Bale also talks Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker.
Batman Vs. Superman opens March 25th.

Check out the “Hall of Justice” podcast below featuring director Zack Snyder talking about Batman Vs. Superman, Justice League and the DC TV Universe.
Highlights include Snyder talking about whether or not the DC TV universe effects the movies:
This is the bottom line for me. I have 100% respect and love for what they’re doing on TV. I think it’s amazing. The joy and the fun of them speaks to the iconic, graphic nature of these characters. These characters are bigger than any of the actors playing them. Long after I’m done making a Batman v Superman movie, there will be someone else who makes it. It’s almost like an American tradition now we’ve established that these characters will be played again and again, and they exist outside of us in this moment.
I think that’s sort of the thing I’ve embraced, and as opposed to trying to shoehorn all of these storylines into a single universe, we let the characters exist in multi-universe, and therefore it’s a lot more fun and a lot more value for the audience. They get to see their favourite and most beloved characters on different adventures at the same time in different universes and it really makes the meal a lot richer and a lot more fun. We get to go with these guys in all different directions and that’s really the joy of what we’re trying to do over here at DC.
Snyder also talks about the controversial reception of Man of Steel noting that “if you actually read Comics, you know I didn’t change Superman.” Snyder continues with talk of how he is a big comic book fan and wants to keep the characters in the movies similar to comic book canon. Snyder also says he considers Batman Vs. Superman a Justice League prequel; that they do go into Batman and Superman’s backstory, and that the other Justice League members are only touched upon in Batman V Superman while noting the Wonder Woman movie goes into her story.
Snyder also mentions he and Chrisopher Nolan talked about using a new Batman, as Superman wouldn’t fit into The Dark Knight Universe.

It’s learned that Zack Snyder asked for Christopher Nolan’s blessing to do a new Batman movie starring Ben Affleck.
In the latest issue of Empire Magazine, Snyder recalls a conversation he had with Nolan.
“You tell me if you don’t want me to do it,” Snyder told Nolan.
“After a silence, Nolan said, ‘Well, we don’t own these characters. When you’re done making Batman movies, someone else will [make them].’”
Snyder then told Empire Magazine he thought Nolan “found it a little bit hard [to step away from Batman].”
“I would feel the same way,” Snyder said.
While Christopher Nolan was involved with Man of Steel (pictured above), Nolan doesn’t seem to be involved with Batman Vs. Superman or any of the Justice League movies as Nolan is not listed as an executive producer.
Christian Bale pretty much felt the same way as Nolan, as Bale said when it finally sunk in he wasn’t playing Batman for a fourth film, he “stopped and stared into nothing for half an hour.”
