'Man of Steel 2' News: Batsuit Actually Blue & Gray Rather Than All-Black, Not Like 'Dark Knight' Batman Suit? [VIDEO]
Ben Affleck's Batman suit might not be that similar to the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight series, according to recent comments by filmmaker Kevin Smith.

The first photo of Affleck's Batman in the Batsuit was released by Man of Steel 2 director Zack Snyder last week, but Smith is suggesting that it may not be an accurate photo. The photo being black and white makes the suit appear to be all black, similar to the suit Christian Bale wore in the Dark Knight trilogy. However, Smith is saying that the new suit is actually blue and gray.
"As you may remember, I saw a photo of the Batsuit many months ago, and many people asked online, 'Is that the picture you saw?' No, that is a very cool picture, but that is not the picture I saw....They put it on a fake rooftop, and they lit it up. But it was in color, and you could see every piece of detail," he said on the Hollywood Babble-On podcast recently.

He then got into what the suit actually looks like in full color, comparing it to comic book writer Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns series, where the Caped Crusader wears a blue and gray suit.
"So what the suit looks like, and I was always kind of keeping it quiet until they revealed it, but they've revealed it . . . If you want to see what this f---ing suit looks like, you just go to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, go to the third book, Hunt the Dark Knight...it's the exact f---ing outfit he's wearing. That's why I hugged that guy all those months ago."
Anticipation is high on Man of Steel 2 as the film is set to begin production. Gal Gadot, who will play Wonder Woman in the film, was recently photographed on location in Michigan.
Man of Steel 2 is scheduled for release in theaters on May 6, 2016.
