Batmobile Tease By Zack Snyder (UPDATE)

Though shooting has been underway for a while now on the yet-to-be-titled, Batman-filled follow-up to Man Of Steel, Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. have been careful not to let too much slip. Now, though, it appears the wraps are coming off both figuratively and literally, as the director has teased a look at the film’s Batmobile AND given us a surprise.

Tweeting the image via his official account on Monday, Snyder showed off a look at the vehicle still mostly covered in a dingy, disused factory. It’s tough to tell from this initial peek, but the shape appears to be favoring the Tim Burton/Joel Schumacher era vehicle with a hint of the Tumbler from Christopher Nolan’s Bat-universe.
On Tuesday, Snyder revealed this image, which includes a surprise...The Dark Knight himself. 

Let's start with the Batmobile: it's clear that Snyder is pulling elements from all the Batman films, including Tim Burton's series with Michael Keaton.  The cockpit-style door looks almost identical.  We can wings on both this image the first one we revealed, reminding us of Joel Schumacher's version.  Finally, the wide wheels in both images suggest a tip-of-the-hat to Christopher Nolan's Tumbler.

But getting a nearly full view of Bats was a surprise.  Here, we notice the suit looks like rubber and is painted a flat black, which looks just like Christian Bale's verison worn in Batman Begins.  The whole outfit looks sculpted, which was different in The Dark Knight and Rises, which featured more plate armor.  But notice the cowl: the low ears are something new.  This could be a throwback to the comic series The Dark Knight Rises, which Nolan pulled from to create his fantastic film series.

This image is sure to capture a lot of attention, both positive and negative.  For now, we're happy with these reveals and can't wait to see more, and will definitely be covering this on our PODCAST this weekend.  What do you think of the new suit and Batmobile?  Did Snyder get it right?

The superhero mash-up, which brings Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and other DC characters into Superman (Henry Cavill)’s world, features Steel veterans Lois Lane (Amy Adams), Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane) plus newcomers Jesse Eisenberg (as Lex Luthor), Jeremy Irons (Alfred), Tao Okamoto, Holly Hunter and Callan Mulvey. It’s being shot in Detroit and is set for release on May 6, 2016.
