All The Frowns: DC has dropped new official image of Ben Affleck as Batman

Here’s a new look at Batfleck, folks. For what it’s worth. And we are at a crossroads, too. Or rather, I am. And really, I don’t fucking matter, so who even gives a shit where I am? Anyways. I’ll indulge myself.

The way my Dumb Ass is feeling is this. Either Batman doesn’t have to be Super Frowny all the time, and these Batman v Superman: Dawn of Blah Blah Batfleck images are just recycling old takes. I mean —  recently Snyder and Capullo have provided a wonderful, substantially less grim (though not completely brood-free) version of Batman. Or, Batman’s very core essence *is* brooding, misery, and frowning. In which case, I’m just over the character.

Is it me? It’s probably me.

DC Entertainment has released a closeup of Ben Affleck in costume from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” an image that hidden among other photos and illustrations in a montage wall at Comic-Con International celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Dark Knight.

“The filmmakers wanted to include this new cinematic version of the Dark Knight in the anniversary mosaic so it could be discovered by fans!” states a post on the DC Comics blog. “The cast and crew behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice are excited to be a part of the 75th celebration!”
