(CBS SF) - Director Zach Snyder has tweeted the first image of Ben Affleck as Batman in the highly anticipated Superman/Batman movie. A day after tweeting out a photo of a somewhat hidden Batmobile. Snyder teased "pulling back" the tarp the following day, but few expected the reveal of Affleck as Batman.

The sequel to 2013's "Man of Steel" starring Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck's casting caused some controversy with many comic book fans.
