Ben Affleck thinks the idea he rewrote the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice script while suited up as Batman is "the dumbest rumor."

Back in February, rumors swirled over Affleck not being "thrilled" by the script, saying the actor "rework[ed] the script" on "multiple occasions."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Affleck recently told reporters that he "just like[s] how if [he] was gonna go write, [he] would put on this batsuit first because it's so comfortable to write in."

He added he didn't "rewrite anything in any outfit, [his] underwear or otherwise." (An Oscar winner for co-scripting Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon, it should be noted Affleck doesn't have a writing credit on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.)

Affleck discussed the rumors alongside co-stars Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot, as well as director Zack Snyder, at a Mexico City news conference. Jesse Einsenberg was not there, but Snyder revealed he had considered the actor for a different role, but changed his mind after they met.

"He's got this amazing way about him and you can never tell whether he's being self-deprecating or whether he's insulting you, and I mean that as a compliment," Snyder said. "I thought he offered really amazing possibilities for Lex."
