When Zack Snyder's Batman played Superman

Three years after Affleck entered the realm of superhero films debut as Murdock, Ben Affleck joined the already long list of actors who played Superman while playing the part of George Reeves for Allen Coulter's Hollywoodland. Hollywoodland is essentially a whodunit that explores the several theories behind the mysterious passing of the real-life George Reeves, who portrayed the Kryptonian that survived in the 1950's television show, The Adventures Of Superman. The feature presentation in question has several scenes that see Ben Affleck donning the cape and the famous red bottom wear while filming the television show within the universe of the film. In addition to the same, the Allen Coulter directorial explores the capitalist nature of Hollywood in the '50s through its human incarnation in the film, Eddie Mannix, the head of MGM studios back in the day, who was portrayed by Bob Hoskins. The trailer of the film, in addition to several video clips that sees Affleck as Superman, can be found below.
