Up until now, we've only had a full body shot of "sad Batman" to kick around the Internet, but Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zach Snyder gives us our first up-close glimpse of actor Ben Affleck in the Batman cowl on Thursday.

The image, dropped on Twitter to commemorate Batman's 75th anniversary and Comic-Con's kickoff in San Diego, shows a stubbled, grim-faced Affleck. He's shot against a mostly black background, which makes some of the detail, especially the back of the cowl, difficult to make out.
What we can see are tinier ears than we found in the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy costume. The nose is somewhat more pronounced and even the texture of the cowl material appears different. It's certainly more mottled than what we saw on Christian Bale's costume.
We can only hope that Snyder and company deliver more images and perhaps even footage of the super-hero-matchup movie, which is scheduled to hit theaters in 2016, before Comic-Con 2014 is done.
