Blast from the past…
In celebration of Batman Day, Zack Snyder has released new stills of Ben Affleck as the caped crusader in the upcoming remake of 2017’s Justice League. Sharing his thoughts on DC’s biggest commodity, Snyder said “Batman: It represents everyone, like a group of anger facing injustice, he faces it alone, facing a corrupt system full of oppression and exploitation, but he is a broken child looking for the human soul in a dark alley for the world. Bring the balance it deserves.”
It’s clear he really understands the character, and no doubt the upcoming Justice League rework affords him the opportunity to tell the story he always intended. The new film, which is set to debut on HBO Max, was revealed at the DC virtual event last month, with an accompanying official trailer. Snyder has said that that it’ll have a totally different vision in terms of style and drama to the original finished product, but that’ll be music to most fans’ ears.
Check the stills for Snyder’s Batman below.

Batman is all of us… he is our rage at injustice… he stands alone, as we all wish we could, in the face of a corrupt system which wishes to oppress and exploit… he is that broken child, searching the dark alleys of the human soul to bring balance to the world. #BatmanDay pic.twitter.com/X20jolqqtZ
