Fans have recently expressed more excitement to finally see Ben Affleck's portrayal as Batman in the upcoming 'Batman V Superman' film, and not so much to observe his performance, but to see the take on the character him and Zack Snyder have teased.

In an interview with Empire, the two go into a lot more depth about the Batman they've coined for this movie. They've previously stated that he will be a lot more older and will have recently been retired; something we have yet to see on the big screen.

"We are playing him 45 or 46," Snyder confirmed. "He has been Batman for 20 years. All the history is there. Was there a Robin at one time? Possibly. He has lost those near and dear to him, and not necessarily from old age of disease..."

This interview was most likely conducted before the previous trailer, where it was revealed that Robin has in fact been killed.

"Initially I thought, 'I'm older, it doesn't seem like the right sort of fit for me,'" Affleck stated. "Then Zack pitched me his concept for this older, more broken, kind of f**ked up Batman. It was something we haven't seen. We have seen that Batman is willing to cross the line to protect people. That vigilantism has been a part of his character all along, and we are tapping into that mentality when faced by something as potentially as deadly a Superman."

"We want to assume that Batman has reached this point in his life and career as a superhero, and Superman represents a sort of philiophical change," Snyder added. "He is a paradigm shift for Batman: 'I've been fighting criminals all my life, trying to find justice, and now I am confronted with a concept that is transcendent to me.' In the face of Superman, a man robbing a bank doesn't matter. He's having a crisis of conscience. 'Am I really just a vigilante who stalks the alleys of Gotham?' It is rich stuff that he deals with. Ben does an amazing job."

"It's a point of view thing. That is why Dawn of Justice is the full title. What it does is allow us to start this conversation."

'Batman V Superman' appears in theaters on March 25, 2016.
