Zack Snyder has shared a rare photo of Ben Affleck from his first Batman costume test for *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*. The image, posted on Snyder’s Instagram, captures the moment Affleck wore the iconic Batsuit for the very first time.

The black-and-white photo, taken on a 4×5 Polaroid, offers fans a unique glimpse into an important milestone in the development of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). In the caption, Snyder wrote:
“A black-and-white 4×5 Polaroid I took of Ben during the costume test first time in the suit. Everything I hoped it would be. #Batman.”

This rare image has drawn significant attention from fans, who have flooded the post’s comment section with excitement and admiration.

Ben Affleck went on to portray Batman in several DCEU films, including *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*, *Suicide Squad*, and *The Flash*, where he made his final appearance as the Dark Knight. Reflecting on his time as Batman, Affleck previously shared his enjoyment of the role, saying:

“I had a really good time. I loved doing the Batman movie. I loved *Batman v Superman*. And I liked my brief stints on *The Flash* that I did, and when I got to work with Viola Davis on *Suicide Squad* for a day or two. And it was something we really went for in the first movie.”

Snyder’s post follows another recently released photo, shared just a few days earlier, featuring Henry Cavill as Superman, continuing to excite fans about the legacy of the DCEU.
