October 1, 2014: Ben Affleck Explains Batman/Superman vs Star Wars Rivalry

SuperJedi Fans following the development of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" would be well aware of the cross-over mash-ups director Zack Snyder and his Star Wars counterpart JJ Abrams have been having fun with over the past few months.

Some of the photos that have been shot back and forth include Henry Cavill as a SuperJedi, C3PO as the C3PED CRUSADER, Batman and R2D2 as BATMAN & R2BIN, and the Gotham police arresting a Storm Trooper who apparently took the Batmobile for a joyride. Most recently Abrams posted a video of the Batmobile attached to the exterior of the Millennium Falcon.

In an interview with Yahoo! Movies, Ben Affleck reveals how this whole thing began...

"I think it was started because JJ [Abrams] and Colin Anderson, who is a great [camera] operator who always works on my movies, and JJ is always trying to steal, and I'm trying to steal back, sent me a picture of the two of them wearing cheap Batman masks," explains Affleck.

"I showed it to Zack [Snyder], and said 'this is bulls***, we have to do something'."
