What's interesting is that Affleck's version of older Wayne has only a touch of grey at his temples. I honestly expected more, based on reports I've received about where Batman is when
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* opens.
What follows is information about Batman at the beginning of the movie. Some may consider this a spoiler, although I don't see how. You've been warned.
My sources indicate that when
BvS opens Batman has existed for close to thirty years, which would place Wayne in his 50s (which is why I expected more grey in Affleck's hair). In this version Batman is still an urban legend, a creature of the night, and no one has ever taken his picture. But he's had plenty of adventures, and the Batcave includes a memorial centered around a tattered Robin costume.
I've heard more, but I'm wary of crossing the line into spoilers. I do quite like this little tidbit, though, because it gives us a sense of a very different Batman than we've ever seen in the movies. This sets Affleck's version apart from Bale and the others easily - he's a quieter operator, not involved in blockbuster battles but in all sorts of badass vigilantism.
By the way, my sources tell me that Wonder Woman has also been in operation for some time before
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* begins, and her activities have been just as secretive as Batman's. Her activities were badass as well... but in a very different, and unexpected, way.

Batman already in his 50s? Fighting crime for 30 years but still remains an urban legend?
This (if true) is almost as bad as Batman not fighting crime for 8 years because some chick he loved died in TDK. (Despite the fact he was motivated to fight crime after the death of parents...but dont get me started...)
Idk about this. I dont want to see "60 year old Batman" by the time Justice League starts rolling.
