Until now, all we had to go off of what the new Batmobile would look like were Tweets from director Zack Snyder from early May:

Now, however, unverified photos of the new Batmobile have been leaked by two Instagram users who reportedly snapped the images from River Rouge, a Metro suburb in Detroit, Michigan, where shooting of the film has been taking place since May 19. The images have now spread like wildfire over social media:

Slashfilm was quick to note that the design looked similar to the Batmobile in the upcoming videogame ‘Arkham Knight,’ providing credibility to the Instagram photos.
Soon afterwards, this new image of the Batmobile in the day quickly surfaced on Twitter:

The upcoming ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ movie is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2016. It will feature the first time that Superman (played by Henry Cavill) and Batman (by Ben Affleck) will meet on screen. Gal Gadot will also make the first live-action movie appearance for Wonder Woman, in a flick that is rumored to kick off a full series of Justice League movies.
