This week director Zack Snyder has been teasing fans with photos from the set of the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, which will feature both Superman and Batman. Today Snyder tweeted out the first glimpse of Ben Affleck donning the bat-suit.

The bat-suit is a bit different from previous iterations. The ears are less pointy on the cowl, the suit appears bulkier and there’s a larger bat symbol across the chest.
Monday Snyder promised a look at the batmobile with a photo of it hidden under a tarp. Today’s photo reveals that it looks like a sportier version of the one seen in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
