Kevin Smith recently took a trip to visit the offices of Artists Equity, the production company founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and he had to share the adorable sight<\/a> he saw in the hallway: Affleck\u2019s Batman suit and Damon\u2019s Martian suit standing across from one another.<\/p>\n

Batman and Martian Suits at Artists Equity<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is the hallway outside Artists Equity, Ben and Matt\u2019s company, and I just wanted to show you something really adorable in it,\u201d Smith said in the video. \u201cHere you\u2019ve got Batman, and over here, you\u2019ve got the Martian. Like, their outfits stand across from one another. Come on. Come on! Isn\u2019t that f***ing adorable? Bromance!\u201c<\/p>\n

Affleck wore more than a few suits during his tenure as Batman, but this appears to be the most recent one which he wore in The Flash.<\/p>\n

Dogma Sequel<\/p>\n

Affleck and Damon both appeared in Dogma<\/a>, playing the fallen angels Bartleby and Loki. Smith has been developing a sequel since he reacquired the film\u2019s rights, and he revealed last year that he\u2019d finally cracked the story<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely love it. I feel like when people see it, they\u2019ll be like, \u2018Oh, I get it,\u2019 like \u2018that makes sense\u2019 kind of thing. Hopefully they\u2019ll be like, \u2018that\u2019s clever\u2019 and not be like, \u2018well shit, I would have done that,\u2019\u201d Smith said. \u201cI will set a place at the table for everyone who was in the first movie who is still alive. Sadly, Alan [Rickman] and George [Carlin] won\u2019t be able to join us, but I\u2019ll set a place at the table for all of them. If they want to come back, they\u2019ll have a role to play, but if not, no harm, no foul.\u00a0The story I\u2019m telling can definitely make use of everybody who is in Dogma, but I can also tell it without. So, that makes me pretty excited to go forward. It\u2019s its own unique tale.\u201c<\/p>\n

Following up a beloved film with a belated sequel doesn\u2019t always work out, but Smith feels that he\u2019s got a winner on his hands, at least at this stage. \u201cI feel very happy with it,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t drop the ball on it. It\u2019s like one of the last f***ing movies I ever made that\u2019s beloved across the boards and shit like that. So, I would never step up to the plate unless I was like, \u2018Oh, this will f***ing work nicely as a companion piece.\u2019 So, I feel pretty great about it, man. But of course during the whimsy stage one always feels great about it. It\u2019s when you make it and everyone sees it and they\u2019re like, \u2018Well, that f***ing sucks. You should have left well enough alone.\u2019\u00a0You just hope it doesn\u2019t come to that.\u201d<\/p>\n
