One of the coolest moments in the film that showed off Affleck’s towering character and menacing looks has to be the Knigthmare sequence. Set in Bruce Wayne’s dreams, Zack Snyder’s Knightmare Batman appears in post-apocalyptic world where Superman has taken over the world as a puppet of Darkseid. Though the Knightmare Batman had minimal screen time, the iteration of the character emerged as a fan favorite thanks to its look and energy.
