This weekend, Warner Bros. held their Man of Steelonline fan event to promote the upcoming Blu-ray release of the film, and while director Zack Snyder shared a few details on the highly-anticipated sequel, it was what came later that was trulyexciting . On another episode of his Hollywood Babble-Onpodcast (via CBM), director Kevin Smith revealed that Zack Snyder showed him a picture of the Batman costume for the follow-up film, Batman vs. Superman.

"I saw the Batman costume. More than that I saw a picture of him (Affleck) in the costume. Now, I don't want to give anything away 'cause that is up to them and stuff, but I am going to say this I instantly bear hugged him (Snyder). You have not seen this costume in a movie on film before, and for a comic book fan it was mind bending. I was like 'Get out of here, only you have enough power to pull this off.' Because everyone always like does this Matrix/X-men black armor...It was fantastic. I'm already a flag waver for this movie but the costume, it blew my mind. I think everyone is just gonna be like 'Holy ****!' It's its own thing, man. It's like we haven't been down this path at all. I was so elated....Even the hardest core “**** all this” person will be like 'alright, I'm ready.'"

Smith also mentioned the costume has a certain influence on its style, but redacted that portion of his praise. Will it be based on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns? Something else? What do you think the costume will look like? Sound off below!

Batman vs. Superman will feature the return of Henry Cavill as Superman, facing off against Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Also starring Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne, the Zack Snyder directed Batman vs. Superman hits theaters on July 17, 2015.

Kevin Smith is a fanboy in the truest sense plus he bromances Ben Affleck so take his opinion with a grain of salt

Agreed :ehh: but I am anxious to see how they're gonna make Batman look. They did modernize Superman pretty well :manny:

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Yeah, Smith hosted a rather boring Superman panel yesterday with Snyder, Cavill, etc.. I watched a bit of it and was:snoop: at some of them damn fan questions. They teased that they had some big announcement the day before but they didn't show shyt at the panel. Now, Kevin Smith's teasing us with shyt. This like AMC's Jon Campea teasing us that Jamie Alexander told him something about Batman vs. Superman that he couldn't share with anyone else.

I want to tell both of them, if you're not gonna tell or show us, don't say shyt. :comeon:

Yea I meant to watch the live stream they had where they had some big announcement but didn't really see much of anything besides Smith now saying he saw the costume.

From what I read the most that came out of that webcast was that Snyder admitted that the insane levels of destruction in Metropolis was deliberate and it is going to play a part in the sequels.

No armor? Sounds like they went the Adam West route.

I remember reading something on a comic site a few weeks ago that the suit in the movie was going to be heavily inspired by the Lee Bermejo drawn version of the the suit in the Batman: Noel graphic novel.
