This year's San Diego Comic-Con may have provided a glimpse of the future of the Justice League movie franchise, but Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was the film that laid the foundation for the birth of DC Comics premiere super-team on the big screen. Here's a closer look the grey and black 'Batman' costume worn by Ben Affleck in Zack Snyder's movie on display on Warner Bros. Studios Hollywood Backlot Tour on June 9, 2016.

Some would argue that this cinematic clash of superhero icons was a clunky and joyless affair, but surprisingly one thing I did enjoy about the movie was
Ben Affleck's portrayal of
'Bruce Wayne' and his bat-themed
Caped Crusader alter-ego.
I especially liked
Michael Wilkinson's pared down grey and black
Batsuit which evoked the classic tights version, although this reimagining had a bulky and gritty feel to it. You believed it could stop bullets and blades.

If you're a
Bat-Fan, be sure to compare this look to previous
Batman movie costumes, from
Michael Keaton to
Val Kilmer, George Clooney to
Christian Bale.

Also on display within the exhibit was the funeral outfit worn by
Young Bruce Wayne, plus the crypt and vampire bat creature from grown up
Batman's nightmare, along with an assortment of
Bat tools like grenades, batarangs and grapple gun.
Be sure to stay tuned for a closer look at the armoured
Batsuit and the post-apocalyptic future
'Knightmare' costume worn by the
Dark Knight in the movie too.
