Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner went casual while on a grocery run with their kids over the weekend at the Brentwood farmer's market in California. Meanwhile, it's reported that the "Batman V Superman" costume was modified to prevent the actor from looking very stiff.

"Jennifer made a typically low-key sartorial display as she wore a floral black dress teamed with silver sandals," said Daily Mail. "The 42-year-old wore her brunette locks in natural waves while she completed her look with a pair of sunglasses."

Ben Affleck, meanwhile, was wearing a blue shirt with Evel Knievel design, skinny jeans and sneakers.

The couple has three children together, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.

The "Batman V Superman" actor recently credited his wife during a senate hearing in Washington DC.

"In our family, my wife does extraordinary work with early childhood education in the United States and the Appalachians and West Virginia and Kentucky and the central valley of California is something she cares deeply about," Ben Affleck said. "She's extremely effective at it. And we're all very, very proud of her and impressed."

Meanwhile, in related news, Zack Snyder has instructed designers to change the bat costume for "Batman V Superman" after previous rubber costumes which made batman look like he was suffering from a stiff neck.

Costume designer Michael Wilkinson told Den of Geek, that it takes six men to help Ben Affleck into the bat suit for "Batman V Superman."

"it's a very important thing to Zack that the Batsuit would be comfortable and very flexible, but then would be able to perform in a very natural and forceful way. So a lot of incredible engineering went into the development of the new black cowl," he said.

"It does involve multiple costumers," Wilkinson added. "It's not the sort of thing that I could just sit in Ben's trailer and he gets into it himself. It's a six-handed operation."
