Dark Knight Returns
On Tuesday, director Zack Snyder (PeekYou profile here) Tweeted out to we mere schlubs the first glimpse of Ben Affleck (PeekYou profile here) donning now his Batman apparel; as he will presumably do throughout the running time of 2016’s highly-anticipated sequel to Snyder’s Man of Steel.

And here it is:

Check out the image in higher-res here.

After teasing with a photo of a Batmobile under a tarp on Monday, Snyder shared the above the following day, simply adding, “shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham.”

PeekYou not being a company to shy away from the nerdiest of trends, you can see where we’ve blogged of Snyder’s already-announced 2018 follow-up to the above-referenced Batman vs. Superman here, and sink your teeth into a juicy PeekScore list assessing the relative digital footprints of the various gentlemen who have played the caped crusader on the big screen, here.

Update: And now the movie has a title, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

To close, from last September, is Ben w/ Jimmy Fallon discussing the backlash prompted by the announcement of his casting.
