Fans get First Look at Batman’s Cape and Cowl

The cape and cowl that Affleck will don as the Caped Crusader is on display on the convention floor at SDCC this year.

Fans who showed up for Preview Night at San Diego Comic-Con were lucky enough to see the cape and cowl that Ben Affleck will wear as he plays Batman in the upcoming film “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” DC Entertainment had the suit displayed on the floor, allowing for some up-close and personal looks at two of the main aspects of the new suit.

The Batsuit is part of a mini-exhibition celebrating the 75th anniversary of Batman’s debut in Detective Comics #27. Joining the new Affleck costume are those worn by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney from the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher series of films from 1989-1997.
