First Look at Ben Affleck as Batman Plus the New Batmobile!


Yesterday, Zack Snyder took to Twitter and teased the reveal of the new Batmobile in Batman vs. Superman, but it turns out he had more surprises in store. Today he's not only given us the first look at the Batmobile, he's also delivered the first shot of Ben Affleck in costume!

Snyder tweeted: "I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham"

Right away, the first thing that stuck out to me is that this is a stockier Batman with the smaller ears on the mask, just as in The Dark Knight Returns. Makes sense considering that is the story David Goyer and Snyder are loosely basing the film on. As for the Batmobile, it's definitely not like the Tumbler used in Christopher Nolan's movies. 

So what do you think? This will be more interesting once we can see it in full color.  Batman vs. Superman opens on May 6th 2016.
