As you've probably heard by now, the online fanboy community is currently in a post-orgasmic state, reaching for the Winnie Blues and leaving cab fare on the bedside table.
Why? Well, after teasing us yesterday with a tweeted photo of the new Batmobile hiding under a tarp, Batman Vs Superman director Zack Snyder pulled back the curtain to reveal (most) of the latest model in all its sleek, Keaton-era-meets-Bale-era glory. Except there was one little extra detail in there we weren't expecting.

That's right – we got our first look at Ben Affleck as Batman. We've got to say – he looks pretty great (we told you to give him a chance), with a costume heavily influenced by Frank Miller's Dark Knight graphic novels, right down to the chunky logo and stubby li'l bat ears.
But, as some delightfully demented folks over at The Verge have noticed, more than anything, Batfleck looks sad. Really sad. Legitimately upset.
So, you know – it's a photo ripe for comedy:
If you're kind of over the original photo by now, you can see some more Batfleck being a super-sad hero here, or follow the wider internet's contributions to the mayhem at the #sadbatman tag on Twitter.
