UPDATED: The latest news about Affleck's Batman suit

UPDATED: Thu, 23rd January 2014

Latino Review dropped a rumour about there being 2 Bat-suits (isn't that expected these days?) and one of them being the classic "grey and blue".

However a more reliable and trusted source has stated that the "grey and blue" rumour is not true. 

Hmmm, think about it. Snyder's meeting with Miller, suit like Jim Lee, not grey and blue. Might the suit look like the one from "All Star Batman & Robin"?

We all known filmmaker Kevin Smith has seen Ben Affleck's Bat-suit (well a photo anyway).

For those who don't know, Zack Snyder showed him an image on his phone after they had finished a live webcast for the video release of Man of Steel. At the time Smith was talking  about it on his Hollywood Babble-On Podcast. Smith said it reminded him of a certain artist, but the name was bleeped out. The artist turned out to be Jim Lee, based on a fan account who was at the live taping of the podcast.

Now Affleck’s wife, actress Jennifer Garner, has spoken to Entertainment Tonight about the suit. "I’ve seen the suit. The suit is unbelievably cool. It’s a total reinvention. It looks great.”

Finally, Smith has gone in to a little bit more detail on the suit while on his Fatman On Batman Podcast. One of the things that he revealed that was new is that not only was Batman in the picture, but Superman was too “looming” behind him, and that photo was of the two on a rooftop. He said:

“I talked about it on Hollywood Babble-On, but I have seen the suit. I did this Man Of Steel Yahoo, fan event when the DVD came out. I was hosting Zack Snyder was there, Amy Adams, we had Henry Cavill from satellite over in the UK, and you know it was all about Man of Steel. And at one point Zack talked a little bit about the future and Batman Vs Superman, but when the show was all done, Zack was all like ‘Kev come here, come here’, and he takes me over to the corner and whips out his phone, and he shows me a picture of Batman. Live action version of Batman. A very familiar Batman, I might add. It didn’t look like any of the cinematic Batmans that have ever gone before. He shows me that picture and behind Batman…Superman in the suit looming in the distance. Both on a roof top kind of thing. It was on a set, a little set the put together for this photo shoot. So I was like ‘Oh my god! Is that the suit?! The suit looks amazing! Did you get people to model it?’ And he goes, ‘That’s your boy.’ And I look closely and it’s Ben Affleck wearing the suit. The suit, it is not mine to spill, in terms of what it looks like, you’ll see it. They’ll tell you when they want you to know, but any Batman fan is going to be fucking pleased. I’m going to tell you that right now. They gave you the suit you all wanted to see.”

So that's everything that we can officially say about the suit at the moment. Not like previous film suits, familiar to Jim Lee's Batman and something we've always wanted to see.
