New Batmobile and Ben Affleck as Batman revealed by Zack Snyder

Fans are going bonkers afterBatman Vs Superman director Zack Snyder has lifted the veil of secrecy, revealing a first look at the new Batmobile and now the first look at Ben Affleck in costume as the Dark Knight.

Snyder’s Twitter page has been the source of the leask with the first pic of Batman’s iconic vehicle under a tarp and a dark, grainy look at Affleck’s caped crusader.

The new Bat-suit noticably similar to the influential comic book The Dark Knight Returns, which also boasted small ears on the cowl and massive Bat logo on the chest.

Affleck is quite an imposing figure and drives a more high-tech looking car than Christian Bale’s industrial style tumbler.

Henry Cavill returns as Superman with Affleck set to don the cowl as Batman. Gal Gadot (Furious 6) will play Wonder Woman against Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor. Also cast are Holly Hunter, Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Callan Mulvey, Jeremy Irons, Tao Okamoto and TJ Norris.

Batman Vs Superman opens in theaters May 6, 2016.
