Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder reveals new-look Batmobile

AS with every other piece of drip-fed information released about the upcoming Batman v Superman film, the first look at Batman’s new wheels has been fiercely debated.

DIRECTOR Zack Snyder has taken to his Twitter page to tease fans with another crucial piece of information about the much-hyped upcoming Batman v Superman movie: the new-look Batmobile.

As with every other piece of drip-fed information about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is not slated for release until March 2016, the latest incarnation of the Batmobile has been met with a mixed response online.

Previous owner: Lovely old lady who only took her out on Sundays.

Some fans have questioned whether a double machine gun is really an appropriate hood ornament for Batman’s set of wheels, seeing as the masked superhero has always been vehemently anti-gun:

Nothing says "I'm a crime fighter who won't kill people" like a tank covered in more gatling guns than an Expendables movie. #Batmobile

Some day we're going to stop putting guns on the Batmobile, right?

With the film’s release still 18 months away, fans of the DC Comics blockbuster will have plenty of time to argue about the merits of the Batmobile — just as they did with the first look at supporting character Wonder Woman, who many felt had been given a Xena-esque makeunder, and the first look at Batman himself — who has appeared rather morose as portrayed by Ben Affleck.
