Batman Is In His Mid 40's In Batman v Superman

From Tim Burton's Batman, to the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Michael Uslan have been in them all. Speaking with app.com, the executive producer talked about Ben Affleck's casting as Batman, and revealed that the caped crusader will be in his mid-40s, debunking the reports that put they grey templed Bats in his 50s.

"We’ve been through this I don’t know how many times already. Every time a director makes a creative, out-of-the-box-thinking decision on casting, it tends to get this. I remember even the ‘Iron Man’ (2008) guys got it on Robert Downey Jr. initially. Of course, we got it intensely when another genius, Chris Nolan, chose Heath Ledger to play the Joker (in 2008’s ‘The Dark Knight’). And it was a huge outcry: ‘How can a guy who just played a gay cowboy (in 2005’s ‘Brokeback Mountain’) play the Joker? You’re going to destroy the greatest villain ever, this is going to be a laugh.’ “So, this has happened time and again, and it happened with Affleck. To go back to the original thought of Bruce Wayne in his mid-40s, I think he’s going to be extraordinary."
