"Could be time to pull the tarp...Tomorrow?" Snyder tweeted with a dark photograph of the famed vehicle used by the character Batman.
Snyder previously spoke about Affleck joining Cavill's Superman character in a statement last year.
"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder said in the statement, according to Entertainment Weekly reports. "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne."
While Affleck has been scrutinized for taking on the role of such a famous superhero, he previously spoke about the pressures of doing so.
"I mean, that's the sort of great and terrible thing about this business. Each project is kind of in its own silo, you know what I mean," he previously told Entertainment Weekly. "You do something, it works, people say it works. And if the next one doesn't, you know, it doesn't."
Affleck went on to explain why becoming Bruce Wayne was not easy.
"You don't get to start ahead because you did well last time," he told EW. "Without getting into the vagaries of the internet and who's sort of out there being vocal about it, at the end of the day, when you get into the arena of those kinds of movies, these superhero movies, particularly ones that are working with characters that everyone's known for so long, everybody's got these strongly held opinions and preconceived ideas about what it should be. I totally understand and recognize that."
However, the actor has taken all of the negative comments aimed at him in stride.
"At the same time, I don't think projections about something that hasn't happened yet are all that meaningful. I think at the end of the day, it's like any other movie or project: You go out and make it great, people will say it's great," he said. "If you go out and miss, you'll hear about it. The stuff beforehand is kind of just the noise that happens."
