AceShowbiz - There was a moment when Bruce Wayne's hand in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" wasn't Ben Affleck's hand at all, but director Zack Snyder's instead. The director's hand was featured in the scene in which Bruce Wayne (played by Ben Affleck) visited an underground fight club to track some information about Superman.
At that time, the camera shows a hand picking up a cellphone. Viewers thought it was Ben Affleck's hand, but it turned out that Snyder made a cameo for the shot. Or rather, a part of Snyder.
The movie's cinematographer Larry Fong has shared the fun fact in his Twitter.

When Fong is asked why Affleck didn't do the shot himself, Fong explains that either the actor doesn't want to or because the director loves to replace him.
@dreamdom7 @theLupeXperienc @JaredWayne97 1) often actors don�t want to do little tiny shots; 2) often directors LOVE to

The thing is, actors prefer use their time for the scenes in which they can be seen. They leave tiny shots to someone else, and directors sometimes like to take that part. Snyder is seemingly one of the directors who actually likes making such small cameo.
It is also revealed that Snyder was the one holding Batmobile headlights shining on Superman's face.
@JaredWayne97 @theLupeXperienc @IMAX Fun fact: Zack was holding the light that simulated the headlights in this shot.
