The new Batsuit design takes on the similar style of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" comics
The suit is in a similar design to the Batsuit in the comic book 'The Dark Knight Returns'
Image via comicbookresources.comAs for Affleck as Batman himself, the costume design definitely seems to hearken back to the caped crusader's look in Frank Miller's 1986 classic The Dark Knight Returns, which depicted an aged Bruce Wayne at the end of his career. Since Affleck is rumored to be playing an older Batman in the upcoming film, it may not be surprising that Snyder would draw on Miller's grittier designs.
