Holy ****. I'm completely sold on this film now. I just don't see it getting any better than that.

I just hope it's grey with a black cowl and cape. Then it will be 100% perfect.

Ben looks perfect as Batman.

I love what I’m seeing.

The large bat symbol looks cool. It reminds me of the title card from the 60’s Batman TV series (below). The short ears on the cowl remind me of that show, too. I also dig how the suit doesn’t look like armor. It’s a monochrome photo, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that it’s primarily grey, with black cape, cowl and gloves - which is awesome, cause I’m so tired of these all-black Batsuits.

The Batmobile looks like a Batmobile. As in, if Batman wasn’t in this shot, and you only saw this visible portion of the vehicle, anyone would recognize it as the Batmobile. And that’s awesome.

I was afraid of another, “If Batman was real” interpretation, which may still be more or less true, but I’m very pleased that the suit and the car appear to be unashamedly Batman.

The biggest problem that i have with the suit is the same one that i had with Man od Steel suit, that chest emblem looks superglued on...

Love the new suit, so glad they are going in a different direction than Nolan. I'll always adore those films but I'm ready for a new interpretation of Batman, hopefully something a little more like the comics. So far so good.

Need to see more of the Batmobile, but it's also looking good. Looks more of a cross between the tumblr and burton batmobile... a nice in-between, which I also like.

Seeing that Batman cosume makes me a little sad that we're not getting a Batman solo film before this Batman/Superman movie.

Its a shame really and just poor planning. They should have introduced this new Batman in his own movie and now we're just going to struggle to divide our time between him, Superman, Wonder Woman....and...Cyborg... Jesus.

They haven't announced Jesus yet, but give them time.

They have already green lit, JLA and rumor is they are filming back to back, So while they may be in the movie they could just be the characters and be minor characters alluded too for the sequels.

Love the Batmobile and the new Batman suit, Affleck looks great in it! Pretty hyped for the movie again. I'm sure the other superheroes won't be more than quick cameos. I can't wait to see new Batman movies with this Batman either, hopefully its announced at SDCC or soon after the well received feedback from this image, a Batman movie could still come out before the JL movie.

I love Christian Bale's Batman. I love Keaton's Batman. As open to Ben Affleck as I've been, I never expected to even consider that he could be better than either of them.

This suit is Batman. To my eyes it merges the 'Earth One' suit with Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns design, to great effect. The short ears were a concern at first, but I'm pleased they've finally used something so common in the comics. Really helps makes this Batman stand out amongst the others. The most famous batsuit designs from the comics - Miller in DKR, Lee in Hush, Mazzucchelli in Year One and most recently Capullo - all have shorter ears so it's about time really.

The colour scheme, whether it turns out be blue/grey or black/grey (maybe grey/grey?) will further differentiate him and make it plain that this is a new take on the character.

He definitely looks grizzled (notice the scars on the suit and the stubble), and gives me the impression that he is not someone to be mucked around with. Very imposing, and I hope the writing and acting makes the most of that.
I have questions. Namely how well can he turn his head, and what will he sound like. But he has the build and the suit so that's a strong start.

It could all fall apart when we see it in action, but going by Watchmen (I'd always wondered if Nite Owl's suit would be an inspiration) and Man of Steel, Snyder knows how to design a superhero, and how to make them look cool at least.

A lot of the rest falls on Affleck's rather broad shoulders. I think he's up to the task.

The batmobile looks like a hybrid of Burton's and Nolan's cars, and I'm happy with that. From models I've seen I wonder if it can be more than a car, but time will tell.

Overall, I'm very excited and pleased.

The car and the suit are a very pleasant surprise. I had no real expectations, but they surpassed whatever I may have had in mind, easily. Very early on, I swear it was Kevin Smith who swore up and down that the suit was "right from the comics", or something like that, but they always say that. That's really, really close, though, closer than I think we've ever seen for Batman. It's much better than the Nolan designs. Loved the movies, but always hated the suit in the second and third movies. They looked awful the more they were lit. Here, it's all out there, mostly, entirely exposed, and it still looks great. It looks kind of like a mesh overlay with armor underneath, which is how it is in the comics. I know he needs armor, but I always thought it looked too clunky in the Nolan films with the armor plates on the outside rather than inside. This is a great streamlined, minimalist look that still looks like it could be plausibly "real". Affleck's face really looks great in the suit, and I've always said I have a hunch that's the main reason they went with him. I'm sure he'll act the part just fine - I actually thought he was a good Daredevil in a flawed film - but at the end of the day movies are about visuals, and he *looks* like Batman more than some guys have.

Love the car. As others have said, it looks like a great blend between the Burton and Nolan versions. Actually, all of it does. The costume and car both have a really nice mix of the comics along with bits from the most well-received prior films. I can't wait to see them in color and in action. And since this look is so right-on, I'm sincerely hoping that the look for Wonder Woman is equally close to the source. And further, since they long ago confirmed that they're tweaking the Superman suit as well, I'm hoping they do like they did with Batman and put some of the "classic" comic elements back in. It wasn't terrible in MoS, but it wasn't "Superman as you remember him in your mind" the way this Batman suit looks, or how Reeve's did back in the day. I know there's a time and a place for updating stuff, but I'm nitpicky about Superman.

And if we're throwing Green Lanterns That Aren't Hal in the mix for the JLA movie, Guy Gardner's the only logical choice. Come on now. Out of all the GLs who were ever on the team, he was always the one who had the most important role strictly as far as being a member of the League goes. Hal and Kyle and John were all important characters, but none of them were ever as important strictly as a member of the JLA as Guy Gardner was. Plus, every movie about a team of super-heroes needs the hot-headed loose cannon that nobody likes but who always gets the job done and bails the other good guys out in the end, and that's the entire role Guy was designed to fit. Worked great in the comics for years. Any other character, they're going to have to change their personality for the JLA movie to make them that "loose cannon", because for the most part the JLA all get along (except for Batman sometimes). Why make, like, Cyborg a cocky jerk, or Hal an arrogant hot-head, just to fill a "type" of role for the movie, when their character isn't really like that, when you could actually go with the source material and have Gardner in that role? I honestly feel like he's the most interesting of the human GLs and way under-exposed in expanded media. It's time he got his due. The GL movie was as close to the source as you could get, and it didn't do well, so it's easy enough to just "grow" the GL mythos on film a little bit, put Hal off to the side for some easily-explained reason that won't invalidate the solo film, and have Guy take his rightful role as Green Lantern of the JLA.

Again, it's nothing specifically against Hal or John or Kyle. If they had Hal in the JLA movie, even with Reynolds, I would not complain at all. But even as the Main GL, he just wasn't ever a Huge part of the JLA, Stewart barely ever had anything to do with the League at all, and I think they should just save Kyle for future films. If there's a GL in the movie, it should be Hal or Guy, for sure, but Gardner's the best fit in my opinion.

The movie now has a secondary title, Dawn of Justice

...Please, just call it JLA now. You're obviously commited to the premise.

Oh man, that title is terrible. That sounds like the title of a JL movie prequel comic.

Way to beat us over the head with the fact that a JL movie is coming WB.
