The photos -- one in black and white and the other in color and showing greater detail of the Batfleck costume -- can be seen below (via Batman-News ). Warner Bros. did not respond to our request for confirmation of these photos' authenticity by time of publish.As you can see from the above color image, the BvS costume is quite reminiscent of the Batsuit from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, which director Zack Snyder has repeatedly cited as an influence on his film.
