Last week we got our first behind-the-scenes glimpse of Henry Cavill on the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in his Clark Kent guise, now today we have an edgy  image of the British actor in the Superman costume. Is that the Man of Steel in Gotham City?

Courtesy of USA Today, the picture puts Cavill’s Kal-El in a dark mood, and shows us what is the tweaked Superman costume for the film. The changes made as seen in this picture (the new square belt buckle and adjusted cape attachment), appear to be minimal.

“We’ve both created this guy and we can push him around a little bit,” director Zack Snyder tells USA Today. “The more time I spend with Henry, the more he’s Superman to me.”

We now have looks at the two title DC icons in the film. In May, Zack Snyder revealed a teaser image of Ben Affleck’s Batman alongside the new Batmobile Affleck is portraying a Bruce Wayne who is much later in his crime fighting career, and influenced by Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. “It’s cooler to see a crusty old Batman beating the snot out of guys,” admits Snyder.

Now we patiently wait for a glimpse of Gal Gadot as the first big screen Wonder Woman, who USA Today reports has not filmed scenes in her superhero costume yet. Gadot is currently shooting Triple Nine according to her Twitter updates, but is nonetheless on an Amazonian-worthy workout regime “getting buff and ripped.”

Affleck and Cavill have shared some scenes on the Detroit set already. “It’s never really been done and it’s kinda cool,” Snyder says.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with Zack Snyder at the helm, is set for May 6th, 2016 and stars Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White), Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and Holly Hunter.
