Hot damn, Batman! And the new Batmobile is pretty sweet too...

The first photo of Ben Affleck as Batman hit the web today courtesy of director Zack Snyder, and we love it! Snyder posted the pic on Twitter and wrote, "I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham."

Yesterday Snynder posted a pic of the Batmobile covered in a tarp, and with all these teases, we're hoping to get a peek at an actual clip from the film at some point in the near future. But with the news that Warner Bros moved the Batman vs. Superman release date from summer 2015 to May 6, 2016, it seems like we may have to wait a little bit longer...

Ben already made one trip to Detroit, but he was back in Los Angeles a week later, so it appears as though that was merely for pre-production. According to Forbes, principal filming begins next week. Weird, because wasn't it Jennifer Garner who told Jimmy Fallon that Ben was set to begin filming last month? Either the schedule is getting moved around like crazy it Ben wasn't 100% honest with his wifey about his whereabouts! That might explain why she's tagging along with him this summer in Detroit ... gotta keep an eye on her man!
