Filmmaker Zack Snyder recently joined Instagram, using the platform to share rare behind-the-scenes images from his extensive career, including a striking Zack Snyder Batman photo featuring Ben Affleck. Alongside pictures from his new project, The Last Photograph, Snyder has given fans a unique glimpse into his time at DC Films.
Exclusive Portrait of Ben Affleck as Batman
After revealing a black-and-white photo of Henry Cavill from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice earlier this week, Snyder followed up with a special image of Ben Affleck portraying Batman. This striking photo was not captured during filming but was rather taken during a dedicated shoot arranged by Snyder and Affleck. Snyder described the image, saying,
“One of my favorite Batman photos. I took it with my Leica Monochrom. We built that little set especially for these portraits.”

The photo offers fans a rare look at one of Snyder’s treasured moments from his DC tenure, highlighting the creative bond between director and actor through a carefully constructed portrait session.
The Last Photograph: Snyder’s Upcoming Film
Beyond his DC work, Snyder is developing The Last Photograph, a movie centered on an ex-DEA operative searching for his missing niece and nephew in South America‘s mountains after their diplomat parents are brutally murdered. The story unfolds as this operative teams up with a washed-up junkie war photographer—the only person who saw the killers’ faces—to uncover the truth and confront haunting memories. Snyder shared a glimpse into the film’s deep narrative with the description,
“Their journey into the unknown takes them further and further away from civilization, bringing into question everything they believe, while slowly eroding the distinction between real and surreal.”
