Instagram is officially in a tizzy over the caped crusader's crime-fighting car.

Barely three months after director Zach Snyder shared the first photo of Ben Affleck as Batman in the upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, one user on the photo-sharing site claims to have the latest images of the superhero's Batmobile, which have since been circulating around the Internet like wildfire. 

The highly anticipated flick, which also stars Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Henry Cavill as Superman, is currently filming in Detroit, so it's entirely possible that there have been a few spoiler alerts (and sneaky camera snaps) in Michigan state.  

While the legitimacy of the images is entirely unconfirmed, the pics do seem like they could be an updated version of the image Snyder posted in May.

Below is the shot for a comparison. 

There is also an aerial shot uploaded by a second user that has since been deleted, which shows someone seated in the cockpit of the car while checking his cell phone. 

Meanwhile, Ben Affleck, who was faced with a slew of backlash after he was cast in the iconic role, recently opened up about the rampant criticism, admitting it never fazed him. 

"Before I took the role, Warner Bros. gave me a bunch of past reactions to casting and said, Are you sure you want to get into this? This is part and parcel of these movies now. There's a lot of active fans with a lot of opinions,'" he said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "To me, having been through a certain amount of that, it doesn't really… Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I wouldn't have taken the part if I didn't trust my instincts in terms of the filmmaking." 

He added: "I think Chris Terrio wrote a terrific script. Zack [Snyder]'s a great visual director. And there's an interesting take. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think I could do it. I have the benefit of a lot of that understanding. But also, everyone is entitled to their opinion."

Batman v Superman hit theaters March 25, 2016.
