UPDATE: Here's the First Photo of Ben Affleck as Batman
by Andy NeuenschwanderUPDATE: There's now a photo of Affleck in his bat suit, plus a shot of the front of the Batmobile. The suit definitely has a similar look to that of Frank Miller's Batman in his comic The Dark Knight Returns, with the enlarged logo and the stubby bat ears. As for Affleck, he looks to wear the suit pretty well. Check out the full image below.

Hey, if you were feeling down about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, maybe a look at his Batmobile will cheer you up.
Zack Snyder, the director of "Man of Steel" as well as the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" movie, tweeted out the first look at the new Batmobile. And it looks...well, it's a bit of a tease, really.
The new mode of transportation for the Dark Knight is mostly covered by a cloth in the photo, revealing only a bit of the back wheels and the spoiler. However, it reveals enough to show that the new model will more closely resemble the Batmobile/Tumbler of the Christopher Nolan "Dark Knight" trilogy, as opposed to the long-nosed design of the old Tim Burton Batmobile.
However, there are still elements of both: The body of the car looks to be more sleek than the Tumbler, though the wheels are still bulky. Additionally, the spoiler on the back looks to be pointed like the classic Batmobile, approximating the look of bat ears.
This will be one aspect that Snyder will want to nail for the movie, as casting choices have already put him in hot water with fans. The casting of Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne put the Internet in an uproar, and the response wasn't much better when it was announced that Lex Luthor would be played by Jesse Eisenberg.
