Zack Snyder has been sharing black-and-white photos from his time in The DCEU to his recently-created Instagram account, and has now posted a never-before-seen shot of Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight from his first appearance as the character in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Snyder posted to photo mark a follower milestone.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for 300,000 followers. It\u2019s been a fun six weeks on here, and I\u2019m just getting started. Shot this on my Leica Monochrom with a 50mm\u2014more to come.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of Snyder’s fans have picked up on that “only getting started” comment (and read way too much into it, no doubt), but should we really be making anything\u00a0of the filmmaker sharing these photos?<\/p>\n

The #RestoreTheSnyderVerse faithful remain hopeful that Snyder will step\u00a0behind the camera for another DC Comics-based film at some point, but we can’t imagine there’s much more to this than\u00a0a filmmaker with a large following sharing some of his favorite work to his new Instagram account (though we’re sure he’s aware of the attention the pics have been getting).<\/p>\n

James Gunn and Zack Snyder have been in contact since the news that the DCEU was being rebooted as the DCU was announced, but the chances of the latter returning to the fold seem pretty slim. Still, the fact that Gunn and DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran will continue to develop Elseworlds projects means we can’t completely rule anything out.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I\u2019m a pretty open book. I really feel like, you know, if the characters are treated with reverence, and mythologically correct, then I\u2019m down. I\u2019m in,\u201d<\/strong> Snyder said when asked about the DCU relaunch last year. \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens. I\u2019m pretty excited. I mean, we\u2019re going to get Superman pretty soon, so we\u2019ll see what that\u2019s like.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked on Threads if he’d seen Snyder’s comments about being “excited for the DCU,” Gunn responded: \u201cI didn\u2019t, but I knew it already because he\u2019s texted me. He\u2019s been incredibly supportive throughout this process.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I had a really good time. I loved doing the Batman movie. I loved Batman v Superman,” <\/strong>Affleck said during a recent interview when asked about his experience playing Batman. “And I liked my brief stints on The Flash that I did and when I got to work with Viola Davis on Suicide Squad for a day or two.” “In terms of creatively, I really think that I like the idea and the ambition that I had for it, which was of the sort of older, broken, damaged Bruce Wayne. And it was something we really went for in the first movie. What happened was it started to skew too old for a big part of the audience. Like even my own son at the time was too scared to watch the movie. And so when I saw that I was like, ‘Oh shit, we have a problem.'”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Then I think that\u2019s when you had a filmmaker that wanted to continue down that road and a studio that wanted to recapture all the younger audience at cross purposes.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
