'Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice': Batmobile is Slightly Damaged in New Picture [PHOTO]

The Batmobile is one of the most easily recognizable vehicles in modern history, although it has been reinvented several times over. From the Art Deco-inspired design featured in Tim Burton's 'Batman Returns' to the tank-like Tumbler in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Batman's car is a cultural icon just like the superhero.

Netizens have already seen the latest incarnation of the Batmobile by now. It has been proudly posted by director Zack Snyder on his Twitter account last September, but the new design is destined for another debut. It has just graced the cover of the June issue of License! Global magazine as part of the feature on the upcoming Las Vegas licensing expo.

The new Batmobile has a battered appearance, as if it has already been involved in an accident. The vehicle was previously seen in a car chase on the 'Suicide Squad' set.

The picture also features Warner Bros. consumer products president Brad Globe and executive vice-president Karen McTier. The photo is part of an article about the several marketing opportunities to expect from the recent expansion of the DC Cinematic Universe.

When it comes to films, games and TV shows, Warner Bros. and DC are slowly catching up to Marvel. There are already several different movies lined up in the next few years, including 'Wonder Woman' and 'Justice League' in 2017. The TV series 'Arrow,' which features Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, has just been renewed for a fourth season. 'The Flash' will also be coming back for a second season.

A new spin-off TV show called 'Legends of Tomorrow' is currently in development and will feature characters that already appear in both 'Arrow' and 'The Flash.' The series will premiere on The CW in 2016.

'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice' will be released on March 25, 2016. It will be followed by David Ayer's antihero film 'Suicide Squad' on August 5, 2016.
