First Look at the Batman Suit and Batmobile!!!

Snyder tweeted: "Could be time to pull the tarp … Tomorrow?"


THIS, IN green-screen and heavy rubber, is the new entertainment-world order. Especially come summer.
Nearly daily now, we expect some announcement, some release or some photo, from the heart of the comics-industrial complex. And then we expect a superhero-content rival to steal a bit of that spotlight, if not the entire Bat-signal glow.
Batmobile new Snyder Batman v Superman
Holy axle grease: director Zack Snyder's snapshot of the new Batmobile from the as-yet-untitled Batman v Superman film.
Batman fans have been given the teasing first glimpse of the new look Batmobile by Zack Snyder, director of the upcoming "Batman vs Superman" movie.

Not an afternoon can pass, though, before a filmmaker “at a rival studio” — in this case, Zack Snyder, aka director of Warner Bros./DC’s untitled-but-you-know-it-as “Batman vs. Superman” — tweets out a would-be snapshot (actually, polished and buffed within an inch of its life) of the quasi-controversial Ben Affleck debuting the newest Batsuit, with his eye-candy Batmobile idling with arched menace as backdrop. Snyder “releases” the image in black-and-white tones as artful as a Jim Lee page (with even a Leica camera plug sneaked in the tweet for good, sly, perhaps contractual measure).
