Has Ben Affleck Filmed His First Scene For BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN?

After news that 'Batman vs. Superman' officially began filming over the weekend, it seems that Ben Affleck may have been there… and possibly filmed his first scenes. While it was assumed that neither Affleck or Cavill were on location for shooting, it seems that Batman may have been there after all.

In one of the most sensational reports to date, Collider has revealed that a crowd member at last weekend's 'Batman vs. Superman' shoot has revealed a rather shocking rumour… and it may mean that Ben Affleck has already filmed his first scenes.

"I was walking out to the restroom before the game," said their source. "I ran into this very nice man who knew one of the players that were the extras on the Gotham home team. He said that Ben Affleck was indeed there. How does he know this? Because the extra he knew filmed a scene with Affleck earlier that day in the locker rooms before the crowd started arriving. He said the scene was about Bruce Wayne giving a motivational speech to the team!"
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that their man on the scene may have been told this. But let's look at the facts - a rather dubious source (the mystery friend of the extra) told someone that Ben Affleck was there. Hardly the most concrete eyewitness.

But According to Jake Lester of Comic Book Therapy, it's been reported that Ben Affleck wasn't even in the same state… and was actually in St. Louis (on the other side of the country) while the shoot took place.

@elmayimbe The only thing I've seen is that he was in St. Louis at the time of the shoot for another movie. Not sure on the validity of that

So could our masked vigilante be fighting crime so soon, or is it just another phony? Leave your answer(s) in the usual place!

Mrcool210 - 10/21/2013, 3:56 PM

even el maybe doesnt think its true? thats sad. looks like i got to give them some credit.

GrimFeature - 10/21/2013, 3:59 PM

Awesome if it was true. But Bruce Wayne giving a motivational speech? Nah

r3negade - 10/21/2013, 4:01 PM

Actually, I heard that he got done filming in St. Louis on October 13th. So it's entirely possible that he was there.

TheRationalNerd - 10/21/2013, 4:03 PM

Even before the Comic-Con teaser this summer It was said by Ben's wife that he's been working out 2 hours everyday in preparation for film! Even though this rumor may be totally false it's still good to know he's going all out for the role! He'll do great I just know it.

r3negade - 10/21/2013, 4:08 PM

Sorry, BlackJack, I guess I got there first.

BrowniesExplode - 10/21/2013, 4:10 PM

I hope he'll take karate classes to.

I don't get the purpose of this article...

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 10/21/2013, 4:14 PM

Giving a motivational speech? That is just dumb

Nerfherder1 - 10/21/2013, 4:17 PM

Aka no one has any clue what's going on

Nerfherder1 - 10/21/2013, 4:18 PM

I heard that ben and Henry were secretly dressed up! LOL this article isn't news

AsianVersionOfET - 10/21/2013, 4:20 PM

If true, it sounds lame as hell.

thatguyandrew - 10/21/2013, 4:30 PM

While I could see Bruce Wayne visiting with the team... a motivational speech? What is this, Remember The Titans?

My assumption when I heard about the football game had always been that Clark was meeting Wayne at the game to get an interview or something.

CyberBishop - 10/21/2013, 4:31 PM

wut????

Humperdink - 10/21/2013, 4:31 PM

'Not sure on the validity of that.'

Then by El Maybe's standards, it's a fact.

MBZ1993 - 10/21/2013, 4:34 PM

i can see that happening

WackyBantha - 10/21/2013, 5:22 PM

He may be traveling between Boston and St. Louis for the next 10 days or so. It has something to do with a World Championship Cricket match, I think.

BaneSmash - 10/21/2013, 6:36 PM

Nah.

CharacterAssassin - 10/21/2013, 10:13 PM

Maybe it was one of those motivational conference call speeches. He was there but not really there.

SnapperCarr - 10/21/2013, 11:03 PM
