    Some time ago there were rumors floating around that Wonder Woman would somehow be a descent of the Kryptonians in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Needless to say, it caused a lot of heated debates and speculation. Well, it looks like that isn't the case and they're pulling from Wonder Woman's New 52 origin. Speaking with The Hollywood Masters, producer Charles Roven confirms Diana's a demigod and the daughter of Zeus.

    No Caption Provided

    As for Batfleck, Roven says they wanted the Dark Knight to be "tougher" and "rugged" so it offers a strong contrast between an older Batman and a younger Superman. Additionally, Affleck's stature was appealing to them. "We wanted Batman to, you know, tower over Superman. Not hugely, not like a basketball player, not like a 7-foot player. But where Superman needed to look up to Batman. We wanted that dynamic. And Ben could do that, easily. He was the first guy we went to." Click here to watch the full interview.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is directed by Zack Snyder and scheduled to release May 6, 2016.

    Very very happy to hear this. I know some people wanted the clay origin, but I think this serves the story better.

    Hopefully the next announcement is a WW movie.

    Interesting how in 2016 we're going to have this movie where Batman goes head on against Superman for at least a portion of the film, and we will also have Iron Man take on Captain America in Captain America 3.

    I don't care if it's her original clay origin or the New52 version, so long as they don't cop out and make her somekind of ancient alien being or somethin'. They should have faith in the source material and keep to the mystical/supernatural roots for the character.

    I saw this interview, but I didn't realize that they were confirming her origin. Now that you bring it up, I'm very very glad to hear this!

    Im Ok with this as long as (and this is absolutely CRITICAL), they do not have the Amazons Killing & probably castrating Sailors after having sex with them, ether have Diana have been the single child born on the island sense they cut themselves off from the rest of the world or the amazons had sex with the sailors and left them unarmed, mabye used magics to erase there memories of it.

    other wise the amazons will be 100% Impossible to route for, if someone is attacking the island the viewers will be routing for the "villain" to go Scorched Earth on there Asses

    That seems odd to have Batman tower over Superman. Batman is supposed to be a human who trained hard and did all he could to be in top physical condition and mental condition, seems a bit of a cop out to just make him taller. Superman is supposed to be imposing by his PHYSICAL presence and Batman by how he acts and carries himself. It feels like they don't really get what Batman is about.

    @idontlikebirds: maybe they ARE going for batman being more imposing mentally and they just thought it would be easier for some to accept that if he physically looks intimidating to superman too.

    If batman looks like a shrimp compared to supes than no one is going to accept a showdown no matter what fancy weapons bats has.

    So they're going with the Hercules knockoff origin? *sigh* Fine, better than Kryptonian, I guess (even though I never believed those rumors; unlike Marvel they don't have to tie literally everything back to the same alien race every time)

    I agree with you on this, it'd be nice if they explained why instead of just saying it. I think Superman towering over Batman makes way more sense, why make the weaker of the two look the strongest?

    hahaha no...

    But seriously this sound awesome, I like how Batman taller, more rugged, more experienced, etc...

    Also that's cool WW is gonna be a demigod, I would have been fine with the kryptonian origin tho.

    Not just Batman: Mamoa is taller than Henry, Dwayne is taller than Henry....everyone is taller than Henry.

    WTF? Why not just cast around Henry? Why make Superman a midget? Gimme another reason to hate this movie. If Wonder Woman wasn't in this, I DONT WATCH!

    having WW be a goddess is probly because they plan on using Darkseid. Still, they'll probly chicken out & make Zeus be the pod-person from MOS.

    I hope they eventually put some color on WW's armor though.

    Well this makes a change. Others complaining about BvS whilst I'm fine with the change for once. Azzarello's Demi God origin for Wonder Woman is awesome and more engrossing for a movie than the clay immaculate conception one. Though to offset my positive contribution, Gadot's ability to pull off the role is still in doubt.
