The black and white picture Snyder shared features Affleck in his Dark Knight suit approaching his Batmobile with some dramatic fog in the background. The director posted the picture Tuesday, and wrote, “I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham.”

Prior to releasing the picture of Affleck and the Batmobile, Snyder teased a look of the iconic Batman ride Monday, writing, “Could be time to pull the tarp… Tomorrow?”

It was announced back in August that Affleck had been tapped to play Batman opposite Henry Cavill’s Superman, picking up the torch from Christian Bale. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburn and Diane Lane will reprise their Man of Steel roles and Jesse Eisenberg will take on the ultimate villain role of Lex Luther.

Batman vs. Superman is slated for release May 6, 2016.
