The design for Batman’s Batarangs seen in Zack Snyder’s DC movies Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League is now official DC Comics canon. The updated Batarang design can be seen in this week’s Batman #62 by writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads.



Also it’s always awesome to see Zack Snyder’s designs being used the comics, first the Knightmare costume and now the Batarangs. Really cool! pic.twitter.com/2My9xyYxsQ — Zayyan Farooqi (@ZayyanFarooqi) January 10, 2019



I took a deep dive on batarangs, turns out the Battfleck one is my favorite, WHO KNEW! I don’t like the skinny ones. They always look completely ineffective.

Check it out:Twitter user @ZayyanFarooqi made the observation, tweeting a comparison of the two. Series artist Gerads chimed in with his reasoning for using the Batarang design used by Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader, saying, “I took a deep dive on batarangs, turns out the Battfleck one is my favorite, WHO KNEW! I don’t like the skinny ones. They always look completely ineffective.”What do you think of this change to Batman’s comic book Batarangs? Let us know in the comments.
