Why Is Batman So Pouty in His Batman v Superman Poster?

I know it’s not fashionable right now but I dig the look of this Batman much more than Nolan’s. #Batfleck pic.twitter.com/GPOCw09t2E”

“That’s my secret. I’m always sad.”

This poster is our best look at Ben Affleck’s Batman yet, assuming this is the real thing. It appears to be an unobstructed view of this poster that Zack Snyder tweeted:

But it didn’t come from an official source. There are also colorized versions floating around on Twitter:

But if Man of Steel and what we’ve seen so far of this movie are any indication, the black and white version is honestly probably closer to what we’ll actually see in theaters anyway. DARKNESS. NO SATURATION. As for the pout, well, we’re not even sure that’s Zack Snyder’s doing. Previous evidence:

(Sorry.)

Affleck just has resting pout face. It’s just Affleck-Mouth. If you’d been in Gigli, you would, too.
