Ben Affleck's performance and prominence in the industry has earned Batman more airtime than Henry Cavill's Superman in the Warner Bros. 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice'.

If reports are to be believed, Affleck's success as an actor and director with 'Argo' and 'Gone Girl' has elevated his stature in the industry and within Warner Bros. circles. Additionally, his performance in Dawn of Justice has been highly appreciated. IB Times reports that Warner Bros. is set to make last minute changes to give more screen space to Batman, given that they want Affleck to play the caped vigilante in other Batman movies besides directing one of his one.

Dawn of Justice is set for release next March. Reports suggest that the movie could be received well. During a private screening for the cast and crew of the film, the audience was so impressed with the movie they give it a standing ovation. It was not clear during the screening if Warner had made changes to allocate more screen time to Affleck.

In other reports, actor Jesse Eisenberg who plays Lex Luthor, said Dawn of Justice is not a cartoonish superhero movie but is a lot more serious, while he spoke about his character.

"Yes, it is like the most incredible character. It was written by this guy, Chris Terrio. This is like his first movie after 'Argo'. He's just this brilliant writer of characters. So, this movie is not this kind of cartoonish superhero movie. It is very serious and well-acted, well written, well directed movie. It's really phenomenal!" the 31-year-old actor said.
