Zack Snyder Reveals New Batmobile and Batman



Yesterday, Batman vs Superman director Zack Snyder teased a look at the new Batmobile with the above image. Snyder delivered on his promise of a reveal today, but he added a bonus.

Check out this high-res image of the new Batmobile along with Ben Affleck in the new Batman suit! Click on the image for a much better look at all the little details.

Behold! Batfleck!

The Batmobile looks great, coming off like a cross between the heavy hardware of the Tumbler from the Nolan films, and the sleeker designs from the earlier films.

The new suit looks highly influenced by the design from Frank Miller's graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns. It sports the same short ears and large chest symbol.

The suit also eschews armor for a more proper superhero look than previous incarnations, which fits the style set by Man of Steel.

Hopefully we get a look at Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman next. This will be the character's big screen debut, and getting it right will be a challenge. Other additions to the cast include Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Victor Stone/Cyborg, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred. Let us hope that the film is not bogged down by too many characters. For now, this image keeps me cautiously optimistic.

The Man of Steel sequel, tentatively titled Batman vs Superman, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 6, 2016.
