The New Batmobile |
On May 12, 2014 the director of the upcoming untitled
MAN OF STEEL sequel,
Zack Snyder tweeted on his
Twitter account, ''Could be the time to pull the tarp...Tomorrow?'', where he posted a picture of the new
Batmobile half cover up. This peaked people's interest in what the uncovered
Batmobile would look like the following day.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they not only saw the new
Batmobile, but actor
Ben Affleck dressed in the new
BATMAN costume
!

Ben Affleck is The BATMAN |
Snyder's tweeted the following caption ''I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom''.

& he costume has a definite
FRANK MILLER 'S DARK KNIGHTRETURNS feel to it as writer-director
Kevin Smith talk bout it on his podcast after
Snyder show he a picture of the suit after a
MAN OF STEEL blueray event
Smith was hosting.

Kevin Smith said '' I saw
THE BATMAN costume ...More than that, I saw a picture of
Ben Affleck in the costume...Now, I don't want to give anything away 'cause that's up to 'Them' & stuff...but I am going to say this, I instantly bear-hugged
Snyder. You havn't seen this costume in a movie on film before and for a comic book fan, it was mind-bending. I was like, 'Get the fuck out of here. Only you have enough power pull this off, Man!' Because everyone always like does this fucking Matrixy kind of X-Men black armor thing...there wasn't a single nipple on this fucking suit, man. It was fantastic. I'm telling everyone is gonna be like 'Holy Shit!' It's its own thing, man. It's like we haven't been down this path at all''.
Affleck is just huge in the costume. The Batcowl has noticeable shorter ears & Batsymbol on his chest is much large than any others filmed.
Ben Affleck is just huge in the costume, the working out is paying off. He looks like a
BATMAN you don't want to fuck with in a dark alley. The Batcowl has noticeable shorter ears that was found in
Frank Miller's graphic novel, as well as the much larger Bat symbol which I like. Reminds me of the
SUPERMAN shield symbol. On his waste a much larger utility belt aswell. It looks like you can actually hold stuff in there.

Batmobile 1989 |
The
Batmobile appears to be across between
the Tumbler from
Nolan's Batman triology &
Tim Burton's 1989 version.
Since it was announced that
Warner Bros. had
cast
Ben Affleck as
Batman in August 2013, the
''SUPERMAN VS. BATMAN'' movie (the unofficial name) has been surround by some controversial casting choices.
|
Gal Gadot |
In January 2014
Warner Bros. revealed that former Israeli fashion model turned actress
Gal Gadot (who played
Gisele Harabs in the popular
THE FAST & THE FURIOUS series)
beat out French actresses
Elodie Yung (who appeared as the female ninja
Jinx in 2013's
GI JOE: RETALIATION)

Elodie Yung |
|
Olga Kurylenko |
&
Olga Kurylenko (who played a
Bondgirl in 2008's
QUANTUM OF SOLACE) for the role of
WONDER WOMAN !
|
Gina Carano |
Many fans had hope that
Gadot's
THE FAST & THE FURIOUS 6 co-star MMA fighter turned actress
Gina Carano would have gotten the part.
|
Avengeline |
Alast it was not to be, but as a consolation prize
Carano is in talks to play another superheroine,
Rob Liefeld's AVENGELINE, a fallen angel who is sent to Earth to find & protect 'the One', a person who holds the key to saving Mankind from Demons & Monsters.
|
Cathy Christian as Avengeline |
The character was originally model after former
VAMPIRELLA model
Cathy Christian in 1995, as apart of the big 'Bad Girl' craze that was popular in thw 1990s.
Snyder & company were looking for an actress with an exotic look & voice for the Amazon Warrior Princess & feel that
Gadot fits their image of what they are looking for. Many fans feel that
Gadot is just to skinny to play the role of an ass-kicking superheroine.
|
Gadot Training |
But
Gadot promises that she will train hard to create that superhero image fans except.
Godot did serve in the Israeli Army, so kicking ass isn't new to her. For me it's her acting ability I worry about. Her past roles didn't give her any real challenge to show her acting range, coming off as 'wooden'. She must of really knock out of the park at the audition for
Snyder, cause
Yung &
Kurylenko are pretty good actresses with more credits to their names.
It will be interesting to see how
Zack Snyder &
Warner Bros. decide to reveal
Gal Gadot as the new
WONDER WOMAN? How will the costume look?
|
Joss Wedon's designs |
Maybe they'll take a page out of director
Joss Wedon's playbook, who once was attached to a
WONDER WOMAN film.

|
Kimberly Kane as Wonder Woman |
Or maybe from
VIVID ENTERTAINMENT's 2013's
MAN OF STEEL XXX porn parody starring Adult Movie Actress
Kimberly Kane as
WONDER WOMAN.
|
Adrianne Palacki as Wonder Woman |
I didn't care for the outfit they created for the failed 2011
NBC pilot by producer
David E. Kelley starring actress
Adrianne Palacki.
I found this fan made picture of
Gina Carano as
WONDER WOMAN that looked real cool.
|
Wonder Woman Costume concept |
Here's an interesting costume concept I found. Adds alittle of the Greek Mythology background
Wonder Woman had in her creation.
|
Jesse Eisenberg |
But there were other oddball choices
Warner Bros. made like the casting of actor
Jesse Eisenberg as
LEX LUTHOR. I must admit I loved him in 2010's
SOCIAL NETWORK, but I don't see him as a menacing threat to
SUPERMAN.
|
Bryan Cranston |
I Perfered
AMC's BREAKING BAD actor
Bryan Cranston in the role instead like many others. Now he's Meancing. But like
Gadot, I'm willing to give him a chance until I see the 1st trailer to get an idea how the charcter will be.
|
Jeremy Irons |
While the casting of British actor
Jeremy Irons as
BATMAN's butler
ALFRED PENNYWORTH I was happy about. He gives that type of class only a British actor can give.
Can't wait of more
SUPERMAN VS BATMAN news.
