Zack Snyder has released a new photo from early on in the production of Justice League, which shows stuntman Richard Cetrone substituting in for Ben Affleck as Batman.
Posting the photo to Vero, Snyder wrote, "This is an early costume test photo shot this on my phone that’s Richard [Cetrone] standing in for Ben." You can see the image below. Otherwise, the photo features Ezra Miller as The Flash and Jason Momoa as Aquaman.
The production process for Justice League was infamously troubled, and the movie ultimately failed to meet expectations at the box office. After Snyder left Justice League following a family tragedy, director Joss Whedon was called in to complete reshoots that reportedly gave the film a lighter tone.
Rumors of a Snyder Cut of Justice League quickly began gaining traction online, and several people involved with the production, including Snyder himself, have publicly discussed that version of the movie. Some, like Aquaman star Jason Momoa, claims to have seen the Snyder Cut, though exactly what state that version of the film is in remains unclear.
Regardless of the Snyder Cut's state, Justice League is seemingly Affleck's last turn as Batman, as the actor stepped down from the role. Twilight alum Robert Pattinson will instead make his debut as the hero in Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman.
Justice League is available digitally and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD. The film stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon.
