Director Zack Snyder has given film fans their first proper look at the new Batmobile in his forthcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.

The film stars Ben Affleck as The Dark Knight, Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

The new heavily-armoured Batmobile features a gun turret at the front of the vehicle and looks dramatically different to the "Tumbler" Batmobile that featured in the recent Christopher Nolan Batman films.

The film is due to be released in March 2016.

Director Synder has slowly been releasing images of the hotly-anticipated superhero film, including a couple of looks at Affleck as Batman, Cavill as Superman and Gadot as Wonder Woman.
