Ben Affleck  Batsuit & Batmobile

Director Zack Snider recently revealed the new batsuit & batmobile for his new Batman vs. Superman flick.Let's have a look...
While it is a monochrome photo,we can clearly see that its inspired from 'The dark knight returns' costume.The short horns,big bat symbol on chest & spandex...spandex?.As far as i can see from this photo its latex muscle-suit textured to look like cloth.They even put fake creases on it...bad move !

& for those who haven't read the frank miller's comic(or seen the animated version) here is a photo of how the suit looks like...
 it has encircled bat in first half & single big black bat symbol in the second half...
So,by revealing the bat-suit Zack Snyder has given a lot hint to the plot,as it seems that the movie will be based on Miller's Comic.But obviously there will be some alterations because a animated version of the comic was released some time back,& the fat & juicy 'HE IS BACK!' idea has been already used in cristopher nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.But i hope the alterations will not f*** the entire movie.

The Batmobile

We can't see the entire batmobile in the photo but its clearly not that mega-bat-tank of comicbook.Here's the comic's batmobile...

 *i guess 'mutants' here refers to x-men*...ha ha,just kidding :D


  

Just look at its sheer size!
*i would like to see the expressions of that car driver*


 & here is a look at the ben affleck batmobile...
But the change in design is obvious,as the tank concept has already been exploited by the tumbler.Infact its siloutte resembles me of the Val kilmer's batmobile,& the windsheild looks just like the Michael keaton's batmobile,while it also borrows some elements from the tumbler like the hydraulic operated wing flaps.Overall i guess it will resemble a pre nolan era batmobile,with a more sleek look rather than the army look of the tumbler.You can think of it as the 1989 batmobile with folded wings & exposed wheels,something like this...
But with a flatter & wider mid portion.
The good thing is that it will be a fresh revival of the classic batmobile :D

Conclusion

I have only seen three movies of zack snyder man of steel,suckerpunch & Watchmen.I was not much impressed by Man of Steel.Watchmen was good,& the cinematography of suckerpunch was nice.But if imagine a movie on the dark knight returns 'Sin City' automatically pops up in my mind.The neo-noir style of sin city best suits the storyline of The Dark Knight Returns & frank miller is the best man in this world to direct a movie based on it because he himself gave birth to the idea.But after the failure of 'The Spirit' this dream of mine would never come true.Frank Miller once said that he would like to make a movie on TDKR with sylvestor stallone playing the lead,& while sylvestor stallone is not the best choice to play batman(not considering the physical aspect),but is definitely better than affleck.Just imagine John Rambo wearing cape & cowl...not bad at all !(in cristian bale's voice).While we may never see this concept seeing light of the day,i am still exited that a batman/superman movie is going to be released in the near future...& that's what make all the difference.

 Do stop by to share your opinion,i would really appreciate it...
