An early concept image of the Batsuit for 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released by artist Jerad S. Marantz.
Marantz shared the image on Instagram, which showed a 3D version of the Dark Knight in an armor-less suit. "Here are some early Batman material studies I did for [Batman v Superman]," he wrote. "At this point it was just about showing the fabric. This was before casting."
Marantz recently shared another version of the Batsuit, which featured a sleeker aesthetic, as well as a more tech-heavy incarnation. In addition to BvS, he has lent his talent to many superhero films over the years, including Avengers: Infinity War, Spiderman: Far from Home, Shazam! and Justice League.
The next live-action film version of the Caped Crusader will be portrayed by Robert Pattinson in Matt Reeves' The Batman, which releases on June 25, 2021.
Directed by Zack Snyder and written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot. The film is available on Digital HD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD.
