Perhaps one of Batman’s most recognizable gadgets is the Batmobile. The trusty car is a pivotal part of the Dark Knight’s mythology. With every new adaptation that comes our way, one of the most pressing questions fans have is: What will the Batmobile look like? The vehicle has seen some drastic reinventions throughout the years, from being a\u00a0sleek but powerful car in the likes of 1989’s Batman, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin,\u00a0to an enormous tank\u00a0in Batman v Superman, to a custom\u00a0muscle car in\u00a0The Batman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Batmobile is, undeniably, a cool car, but there’s a problem: As great\u00a0as it is, Bruce Wayne can’t be seen riding around in it during the day. Luckily, having what’s been accurately calculated as nearly all the money in the world allows him to secure very luxurious vehicles. Now, Zack Snyder has shared a good\u00a0look at the civilian car\u00a0Wayne drove in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice\u2014a vintage\u00a0Aston Martin… which also happens to be the director’s own car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Man of Steel helmer\u00a0took to Instagram to share a black-and-white picture of his 1957 Aston Martin DB Mk III, which Bruce Wayne drove to Lex Luthor’s party in Batman v Superman, where he came face-to-face with Clark Kent. The car was also featured in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, with Alfred shown working on it when he’s visited by a newly revived Superman:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Snyder captioned the post with: “My 1957 Aston Martin, DB mk3\u00a0in its natural habitat. Leica monochrome.” Given the setting, the picture seems to have been taken on the set that served as Bruce Wayne’s house.\u00a0A fun fact about this specific\u00a0model is that it is James Bond’s first Aston Martin, having appeared in 1959’s “Goldfinger,” written by Ian Fleming.<\/p>\n
