After glimpsing Ben Affleck’s Batman body armour in the Batman v Superman trailer, fans have been treated to the first full-length picture of the costume courtesy of Zack Snyder.

The director tweeted the full-length image following a special IMAX screening to mark the trailer’s original release date, before it was leaked last week forcing Warner Bros to release the trailer early.

The Batman armour shows some possible scratches cut into the breastplate of the suit, but otherwise fans will have to wait until another official (or unofficial) trailer to see more details of the costume.

The photo follows the release of the first Batman v Superman character teaser posters, also tweeted by Snyder.

Henry Cavill will star as Superman alongside Affleck in Warner Bros’ DC Comics shared universe movie.

The film also features Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released in the UK on 25 March 2016, with two further planned sequels to follow in 2017 and 2019.
