Ben Affleck As Batman (PHOTO)

The first snapshot of Ben Affleck as Batman has been revealed.  



Zack Snyder, the director of the upcoming "Man of Steel" franchise featuring Affleck's "Dark Knight" and Henry Cavill's "Superman", shared the picture on Tuesday.

"I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham," Snyder, 48, tweeted, along with an image of the comic book hero next to the Batmobile.

Affleck, 41, was announced as Batman the previous summer. Jesse Eisenberg, 30, portrays Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot, 29, plays Wonder Woman.





There was instant backlash - even from other celebrities - about the casting of Affleck.
