It’s an interesting photo, being in black and white with Batman appearing by himself on what seems to be a rainy rooftop. More interesting however, is what Snyder had to say about everyone’s favorite detective. “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.”

Whether audiences think that sounds awesome or melodramatic, it’s a pretty clear window into how Snyder views the character, and gives a little insight into how he was portrayed by the director and why. That said, those who admire Snyder’s particular vision may be feeling melancholy about teases like this, particularly with the knowledge that the director’s cut of Justice League may very well be the last time Snyder brings his twist on these characters to the silver screen, or at least the HBO Max screen.
It won’t be the last rodeo for Affleck as Batman, however, as it’s already been confirmed that the actor will return for the upcoming Flash movie, despite Warner Bros. already having a film in production featuring Robert Pattinson as a younger Batman. It would seem both films are chugging along at a decent pace, despite many bumps in the road, and to top it off, there are a handful of animated Batman films planned as well for the next couple years, and at least one game. Any way folks look at it, it’s gonna be a pretty good few years for Batman.
