Zack Snyder Shares Unseen Shot of Ben Affleck’s First Batman Suit Test

The Instagram throwback is being embraced as nostalgia, not a signal of a Snyder-led DC revival.

Overview

  • Snyder posted a black-and-white Polaroid showing Affleck in the full Batsuit during a Batman v Superman costume test, captioned "Everything I hoped it would be."
  • The image captures the cowl settling on Affleck’s head and offers a rare look at the early design that shaped his on-screen Batman.
  • Fans praised the suit’s silhouette and rallied around #RestoreTheSnyderVerse, though no new Snyder DC project has been announced.
  • James Gunn has said Snyder texted him and has been "incredibly supportive" of the DCU relaunch, signaling cordial relations without concrete plans.
  • Affleck recently reflected on portraying an older, "broken, damaged" Bruce Wayne and noted the tone skewed too old for some viewers, with the film’s 10th anniversary approaching next year.
