Zack Snyder has posted another striking Ben Affleck Batman image, this time showcasing the “hard suit” from Batman v Superman.
The shot, drenched in rain and backlit in dramatic silhouette, hit Instagram today, and the timing is not lost on fans.
It arrives on the anniversary of the theatrical release of Justice League, a date Snyder supporters have marked online with #RestoreTheSnyderVerse going viral on X throughout the day.
Another Major Signal From Snyder
This latest Ben Affleck photo follows weeks of Snyder releasing DCEU-era images and liking SnyderVerse-related posts across Instagram. From Cavill’s Superman to Leto’s Joker to Momoa’s Aquaman, Snyder has been quietly unlocking his entire archive.
Now he’s dropped one of the most iconic BvS moments ever shot.
With today marking the Justice League theatrical anniversary, fans immediately interpreted the post as another nod toward a SnyderVerse revival, especially given the sudden uptick in activity from Snyder and the original JL cast.
Saudis Positioned to Restore the SnyderVerse
As we have repeatedly reported, insiders maintain that if Saudi Arabia succeeds in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, the SnyderVerse is expected to be restored. Multiple sources have told us that the Saudis want a DC cinematic event powerful enough to rival Marvel’s biggest films, including Avengers: Doomsday-scale storytelling.
Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan have been described to us as the “bellwether”—meaning the creative figures whose involvement signals where the studio will head next. We’re told Snyder is already aligned with Saudi Arabia’s entertainment expansion through his UFC-backed film Brawler, and that Nolan’s Universal partnership keeps him geographically and strategically close to Saudi interests.
Our insiders have stressed that the Saudis want to build a modern cinematic mythology backed by billion-dollar IP, and Snyder’s DCEU is seen as the most direct path to that. This includes the full return of Ben Affleck’s Batman, Henry Cavill’s Superman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, and Snyder completing the multi-film arc he originally set out to tell.
Fans Push Harder as Snyder Signals Continue
With Snyder’s latest Batman image trending, SnyderVerse fans have taken today’s anniversary as an opportunity to elevate the conversation.
#RestoreTheSnyderVerse has gone viral on X yet again, boosted by the mounting evidence that something is shifting behind the scenes.
Snyder’s steady stream of DCEU photography, the Saudi acquisition rumors, and the growing belief that major creative figures may return have combined into the strongest wave of fan momentum since the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
If the Saudis seal the deal, insiders maintain the SnyderVerse revival is no longer a possibility; it becomes the plan.
