Taking a break from Entertainment Weekly‘s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice coverage, the magazine also features The CW’s next superhero show, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, in its San Diego Comic-Con 2015 issue.

Warner Bros. released a bunch of new images from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice today, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. Included were plenty of quotes from the film’s cast and director Zack Snyder, taken from EW’s set visit last year. In this round-up, Batman actor Ben Affleck talks about his role in the movie.
