Batman Vs. Superman Enhanced IMAX Trailer Rumored & More

Following the leaked Batman Vs. Superman trailer, we now have new rumors to go with it.

With Zack Snyder releasing the Batman Vs. Superman teaser (watch above), fans could go to the official website to sign up for tickets to view the full trailer at select IMAX locations.

It’s now being said that two different versions of the Batman Vs. Superman trailer will officially be released, with the IMAX screening being “enhanced” and the online version being the “non-enhanced” version.

It’s also said that those fans that get to see the Batman Vs. Superman trailer in IMAX will receive an exclusive Batman Vs. Superman print mini-one-sheet (i.e. a small poster) and also a digital asset sent via e-mail (maybe a digital comic book).

Indie Revolver is stating that a source has given them what looks to be a publicity schedule surrounding the release of the trailer.

It’s said the enhanced IMAX Batman Vs. Superman trailer will be a bit longer and feature Zack Snyder addressing the fans before and after the trailer. While the IMAX trailer will be screened Monday, it’s said the non-enhanced Batman Vs. Superman trailer won’t be released online until Tuesday at 9am.

It’s possible the leaked full trailer may be the enhanced version (minus Snyder’s bookends) as it runs about 2:18 and apparently originated from a Brazilian movie theater.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Batman Vs. Superman Trailer: An Intense Breakdown Image By Image

WB and Zack Snyder recently released the Batman Vs. Superman trailer.

Below you can check out some thoughts and speculations on the various scenes.

Overall, I felt the trailer did it’s job by giving us a first look at the Ben Affleck Batman and setting up why Batman fights Superman.

The trailer has been getting mixed reviews online by fans. Personally, I felt it was a bit dark, and I am desperately hoping by the end of the movie that Superman gets looked at as an inspiration and a hero. 

Our movie reviewer, Lawerence Napoli, felt the trailer was trying to be dark and “edgy” similar to Man of Steel, but that it “lacked those certain moments of inspiration and light.” Lawrence didn’t like how “Batfleck, Batman and ‘darkness all over’ highjacked the franchise, and just like that, the whole planet hates Superman.” Lawrence also thinks the trailer means Snyder might be “pulling a Watchmen” again.

Our comic book reviewer, Chris “The Doc” Bushley, felt it was “way too f’n dark!” Chris said Superman needs to offset Batman’s darkness, and that “it looks like they just made an Injustice movie!”

Now on to the breakdown…

 

The trailer opens up with darkness and asks: “Is it really surprising that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy…” 

Obviously this is a reference to Man of Steel as well as setting up the rest of the trailer (and guessing the movie). On one hand, Superman saved everyone, but on the other, is he to blame? After all, if there was no Superman, there would have been no Zod. In addition, obviously the most powerful man would be the most controversial as everyone will have an opinion as to what he should be and do. Should he be a dictator and tyrant that tells people what they should do? Or should he lead by example? Should he lead at all?

 

The first scene of the movie is of Metropolis and the Superman statue, possibly at the Zod battle scene (similar to World Trade Center site). If you recall, a set image landed online revealing part of the statue – meaning it’s real – and now we know that Snyder used practical effects for the movie.

What this tells us is that following Man of Steel, the city (or whomever) thanked Superman for saving the city and the world, so they erected a Superman statue.

The scene also has the following dialogue: “We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior” (with “savior” giving an echo sound effect). Again, the question rises: Should Superman be our savior? And in exactly what way? Is he here to take care of every one of us? You could argue this has similar political arguments with those who feel the government(s) should be the savior of the people. The narration concludes leading to this image of Henry Cavill as Superman:

 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is Superman at a parade for the Mexican Day of the Dead. I think that is what the black and white make-up represents (and not The Purge 2, lol). So we can guess Superman does something super in Mexico, with the people rushing to him. The imagery (at least to me) is also similar from Man of Steel when Superman had the Zod vision of himself in the black suit and all the skulls – obviously signifying death (and from the narrated lead-in above, possibly meaning “Superman our savior will lead to death”).

Next we hear various quotes, with the first being from American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson: “We are talking about a being whose various existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe.”

When Tyson states “being,” there is another voice over. I can’t quite make it out, but at least to me it sounds like “Damien.” I’m not sure what that means other than an Omen reference, or “demon,” or Batman’s son, Damien (again, no clue).  Update: It’s “Alien.”

Following Tyson stating “existence” a woman’s voice states: “They are not telling us the truth.”

Following Tyson stating “priority,” it sounds as if voices are stating: “This is our place planet.”

Tyson stating “universe” leads into the following:

 

We see that the image (Superman saving a Soviet rocket) challenges humanity’s place in the universe as it’s shows an alien doing something humans can’t do. This is sort of waking humanity up to the fact they aren’t the center of the universe. This could be representative of humanity once mistakenly believing the Earth was the center of the universe. It’s the sun that is the center of our Solar System – or Superman, the Last Son, is the center of the universe.

Update: The rocket also has “300” referencing the movie.

A man’s voice then states: “Human beings have a horrible track record of following people with great power.”

A female voice says “tragedy” directy after “record of.”

A second female voice states “power corrupts” as soon as the man stated “power.”

This can obviously be read as: following people with great power causes tragedy.

The female voice then states “And absolute power corrupts absolutely” (update: possibly voiced by Holly Hunter) with a second female voice interjecting “terror” and “chaos.”

Which leads to:

 

Now there is a lot going on in this image. For one, it shows soldiers bowing before Superman. Notice the Superman shield patches on their arms? They are a part of “Superman’s army.” As I stated in a previous article, I am guessing they are an independent faction who worship Superman or view him as their savior (which references the above: “We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior.”) They also appear to be wearing black masks to conceal their identity and black clothes. I’m guessing Superman is here to whoop their ass for doing some bad stuff in his name. They see the Man of Steel come down in their bunker and immediately bow before Superman (referencing Zod’s own demand “bow before Zod“). I’m also guessing this is Snyder taking a dig toward the Christian conservative right groups, i.e. they are “militant” and “domestic terrorists.” The image also has a heavy Nazi feeling with the helmets. Perhaps the bigger question: Who is the leader of Superman’s Army? Another interesting aspect of the image is that it’s similar to the Injustice Gods Among Us video game.

Check it out:

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20118:]]

 

The scene ends and goes dark with: “Maybe he is just a guy trying to do the right thing.”

Next, a closer look at the Superman statue is shown with the following said, which looks to be said by Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor: “We know better now, don’t we?” Again, this is a reference to the above image being representative of Superman as a dictator (leader of the Nazis, Hitler, or whatever dictator) as “we know better now” because we already lived it (those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.)

The same voices that stated above, “This is our planet,” now can be heard stating, “He’s out of control.” This is the anti-Superman crowd (set pics revealed people picketing against Superman) declaring, “This is our planet. [Superman] is out of control [something must be done].”

Lex Luthor continues with, “Devils don’t come from hell beneath us. They come from the sky.”

Between Luthor’s two statements, what sounds like an elderly man saying, “A brother warrior,” can be heard. More than likely, this is some sort of “priest” that is part of Superman’s army. Superman is their “brother warrior” in their fight against – whatever they feel Superman and themselves are fighting against.

Following Luthor stating “[Devils] come from the sky” the following image appears:

 

Superman is the devil from the sky. He is the false savior, the false god (at least Luthor is trying to convince people that). 

Another voice says: “The world has been so caught up in what he can do” – and then a closer look at the Superman statue is shown – with it questioned, “That no one has asked what he should do.”

This is more repetition of the savior theme: Should Superman be our savior and tell us what to do? Or for that matter: Should we be telling Superman what to do (referencing the end Man of Steel scene with General Swanwick where Superman tells him they will never control him).

The anti-Superman voices then chant,”Go home! Go home. Go home!” –  which means Superman (you alien) go home back to Krypton; with the following then shown:

 

And this is the end of the first half of the trailer, which introduced us to Superman being looked at as the bad guy (though we did apparently get two images of Superman “saving the day” in Russia and Mexico). 

Now it’s the Batman half of the trailer, which is kicked off by Jeremy Irons voice speaking as Alfred.

“That’s how it starts,” Alfred says, right before the above image goes black. 

 

We get our first look at Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne. Now this is it, our first impressions are made from this image and what comes next. 

Alfred continues, “The fever. The rage.”

The camera zooms in on Bruce – “The feeling of powerlessness,” Alfred says.

Bruce is looking at the Batman costume:

 

Bruce Wayne felt powerless when he couldn’t stop his parents’ death. Batman gives him power (interesting: now that there is a super man, does that make Wayne again feel powerless?).

“That turns good men cruel,” Alfred concludes.

Alfred full words: “That’s how it starts. The fever. The rage. The feeling of powerlessness. That turns good men cruel.”

Now is this just a reference to Bruce Wayne? It probably can be looked at as a reference to how humanity is feeling as well, and especially Lex Luthor. 

The trailer then cuts away to the Superman shield “in 2016” image:

 

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20120:]]

 

We then go into the following:

I believe this might be Wayne Manor. Set pics revealed that Bruce Wayne has been staying at a cabin or house by a lake. If it’s Wayne Manor, obviously it’s been vacated for a while as we see graffiti all over the place. Easter Eggs include the Riddler question mark, and maybe “Joe” is a reference to the Joker (Joe being an alias of the Joker in the comics).

Update: There is a Wonder Woman Easter Egg as well with “Aphrodite” (under the Riddler question mark) as Aphrodite was the creator of the Amazons and Wonder Woman. It’s also possible the above scene takes place at an abandoned subway station.

 

Next the following is shown:

I believe what is happening is that the flying object is a drone and not the Batwing. It’s a drone attacking some sort of warehouse on Gotham River. Of course, it could very well be the Batwing, and I’m wrong.

We then see the Batmobile for the first time:

 

The trailer makes it look as if the drone (or whatever) is firing on the Batmobile (maybe they did this intentionally to make us question whether it’s the Batwing above).

 

More of the Superman logo is shown leading to our first look at Ben Affleck as Batman:

It’s not a crystal clear image of Affleck as Batman, but Batman appears to “rising” from the “terror” and “chaos” (recall the above).

 

More Superman logo imagery is then shown taking us to:

Batman on top of the world.

We saw the earlier image of Superman in the sky, and now we see Batman in the sky. This represents the two being rivals and probably also that Gotham is Bruce Wayne’s city.

Remember what Luthor said? 

“Devils don’t come from hell beneath us. They come from the sky.”

Not only is Superman a devil, but Batman is another devil.

This represents, eventually, Lex Luthor against all the superheroes and the “dawn of justice” (the Justice League are devils, too).

We also see that Batman is holding a rifle, another nod to Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, in which Batman uses a rifle to fire a grappling hook from one building to another.

 

We then see the Batman suit that Bruce uses to battle Superman.

It’s a rather interesting look. Not only is it borrowed from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, but what is it telling us? More than likely, Batman is using some sort of night vision. Or is it possible that Batman knows Superman may be able to see different light spectrums – perhaps this is some sort of device that will cloak Batman or interfere with Superman’s vision? We see Batman is heavily armored. Is it made of some special material? Is it armor from the Kryptonians? Batman also appears to be wearing a cape (or maybe some sort of parachute device). Questions: Does Batman even know the extent of Superman’s powers? This appears to be their first meeting – is Batman even wearing this suit because of Superman or is this a chance encounter? Did Batman don the suit and purposely try to find Superman (perhaps creating some false emergency to lure him)?

Another question: Is this even a new suit for Batman? It appears already to be battle-damaged (this is a veteran Batman), and this appears to be first Batman/Superman encounter. This might just be Batman’s “heavy hitter” suit that he uses to take on the big bad villains (i.e. Killer Croc and such).

 

Batman is looking up in the air at a hovering Superman:

Recalling Luthor: “Devils don’t come from hell beneath us. They come from the sky.”

 

“Tell me,” Batman demands of Superman, leading to the following:

Look how small Batman looks. Look how small the human looks from the super man’s perspective.

“Do you bleed?” Batman asks.

Bruce Wayne’s voice is scrambled through a voice modulator (Arrow did it first!). Does Batman know about Superman’s super hearing? Or does Bruce Wayne always use a voice-changer when he is Batman (and then we never have to hear “swear to me” again!).

Bruce Wayne questioning, “Tell me. Do you bleed?” is an obvious reference to Superman being an alien as well as asking if he is a god (do gods bleed red?) and probably a reference to Shakespeare (“If you prick us, do we not bleed?”). 

 

Superman comes down to the ground.

Now this is another interesting image.

Here we see the back of Batman, with what appears to be the cape.

We see Superman has come down to Batman’s level – they are both no longer in the sky.

We see Superman has come down, yes, he is part of this world and humanity.

What do we also see?

It shows Superman kneeling before Batman. The trailer ends with Superman just about to get up, but not fully standing. I found it to be an interesting aspect as the other image showed the humans kneeling before Superman. Here at least, Superman, looks humble.

 

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20121:]]

The trailer then goes dark, and Batman says, “You will.”

So Batman says: “Tell me. Do you bleed red? You Will.”

Them be fighting words!

Spoiler Villain Easter Egg In Batman Vs. Superman Trailer

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20089:]]

The Batman Vs. Superman trailer has hit the net early prior to its intended Monday debut.

Earlier today saw about thirty seconds leak online from an international version of the trailer, and now moments ago the full trailer became available.

The trailer features a look at Henry Cavill as Superman as well as Ben Affleck as Batman.

Superman is made out to look like a bad guy – a “false god” –  while Batman is shown to challenge him.

Various scenes were shown with one in particular standing out as it featured a prominent Batman villain Easter Egg or clue for things to come.

On the below image, the Riddler question mark can be seen clear as day, which perhaps hints the Riddler might appear in Batman Vs. Superman or possibly some time down the line.

Joker is already being introduced in Suicide Squad, which follows Batman Vs. Superman, so Zack Snyder may be going with a second villain in the movie with Riddler (in addition to Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor). There haven’t been too many Riddler rumors for the movie that I can recall other than recently Jim Parsons stating he would like the role, and a while back saw Justin Timberlake mention the character.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Batman Vs. Superman Teaser Trailer Rumored For Thursday

Update: The teaser is now online and can be watched below. You can find info on the IMAX locations for the full trailer here.

 

Earlier today saw Zack Snyder post and image of himself with a monstrous-sized IMAX camera.

Now it’s being said Snyder and Warner Bros. will be releasing a super-short teaser on Thursday, with the Batman Vs. Superman trailer arriving some time next week.

Latino’s Review El Mayimbe is the source of the info, which is said to be corroborated by other websites.

If true, the info contradicts a composer on the movie who stated the Batman Vs. Superman trailer is attached to the May 15th release of Mad Max; the composer, Junkie XL, has since deleted the tweets.

It’s rumored that Zack Snyder will be releasing five seconds of the Batman Vs. Superman footage at 9am on Thursday, which is an hour before the start of Disney’s Star Wars Celebration, where it’s also rumored the next Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will debut.

If the info is legit, the Batman Vs. Superman five-second teaser will also give details how to view the trailer in theaters the following Monday.

It’s also said the Batman Vs. Superman trailer will run in front of Avengers 2, which is out May 1st (and earlier in international locations).

Update: The British Board Of Film Classification, which is a web site that lists trailer info, has the Batman vs. Superman trailer listed with a run-time of 2 minutes 6 seconds.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Michelle MacLaren Drops Out Of Directing Wonder Woman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20040:]]

The Wonder Woman movie has lost its director with Michelle MacLaren.

THR reports Michelle MacLaren and Warner Bros. have parted ways over “creative differences,” though no specifics are known at this time as to the reason.

“Given creative differences, Warner Bros. and Michelle MacLaren have decided not to move forward with plans to develop and direct Wonder Woman together,” Warner Bros. said in a statement.

Wonder Woman was to mark MacLaren’s directorial debut, with MacLaren known for being an experienced TV showrunner and director including having worked on episodes of Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Game Of Thrones and Better Call Saul.

It’s also unknown if the change will affect the Wonder Woman release date, which is slated for 2017.

The report states MacLaren was hired in November after months of searching by Warner Bros. who was intentionally seeking a female director at the time. It’s also said that multiple Wonder Woman scripts were being developed of which MacLaren had been heavily involved with shaping.

No mention was made of potential replacements.

Gal Gadot is still set to star as Wonder Woman and does have a role in Batman Vs. Superman out 2016.

Jason Momoa Says Aquaman Will Be Bad Ass Because Of Him

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19920:]]

Some fans of the comic books consider Aquaman a second-rate superhero, but come March 2016 the King of the Seven Seas will be played by Jason Momoa.

Momoa is set to first appear in Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League followed by the standalone Aquaman film, with Momoa telling Total Film magazine Aquaman will be bad ass in the movies.

“Aquaman will be badass, otherwise they wouldn’t cast me for the role,” Momoa offered. “Being Hawaiian, our gods are Kanaloa and Maui, and the Earth is 71 percent water, so I got to represent that. I get to represent all the islanders, not some blond-haired superhero.”

The article also mentions that Momoa will be featured in Justice League Part 2 as well, with all his appearances looking to be a part of an origin-type story.

“It will probably be this whole origin story, I would think…” stated Momoa.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Jesse Eisenberg Talks Going Bald For Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

Check out video above with new Lex Luthor Jesse Eisenberg talking playing the character in Batman Vs. Superman.

Eisenberg recently appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers where the two first discussed SNL and Mark Zuckerberg.

Meyers then mentions Jesse Eisenberg is playing Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman to the delight of the crowd, with Meyers revealing the first look image at Eisenberg as Luthor.

Eisenberg confirms he did shave his head, and that it wasn’t CGI, as well as goes on to discuss the experience.

“I actually came out of the womb with a full head of hair. I’ve never been able to touch my scalp. Yes it’s freezing. It’s really strange. You know, it’s the kind of mixed thing where you feel like ‘I can really damage myself.’ You want to wear a helmet. It’s terrifying, it’s terrifying.”

Meyers then pulls out a set image of Eisenberg wearing a bandana to hide his bald head from the paparazzi, with Meyers comparing the look to ET in the basket.

“You’d think there would be something more threatening than the floral arrangement,” Eisenberg responded. “Everything is shrouded in secrecy, and the people are shrouded in bandannas. You know, Superman, this is Henry Cavill, he’ll walk the set in baggy sweatpants.”

Regarding the Justice League movie, Momoa offers he hasn’t read a script as of yet.

“Justice League is quite a ways off. We don’t have scripts and stuff like that,” Momoa told THR. “I’ll bring my professionalism there. I’ll bring my sense of humor. Hopefully people will like that. If they don’t I’ll modify it.”

Momoa also talks about the big reveal when Zack Snyder released the first image of Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

“Michael [Wilkinson], the head costume designer, he created all of that,” Momoa said. “I basically just showed up and he made it happen. And it’s all Zack, through his genius mind.”

Momoa continues with mention that balancing the smaller TV roles with the larger movies roles is a “dream job.”

“I have a TV show that I love,” Momoa said. “I’m going to be in one of the biggest movies in history in a minute, playing a superhero. And I have kids so that’s cool. My kids can finally see something that I’m in.”

Prior to Justice League in 2017 and Aquaman in 2018, Jason Momoa will be first appearing in Batman Vs. Superman next March as well.

Batman Vs. Superman Trailer Said To Be Attached To Mad Max: Fury Road

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19878:]]

Do we finally know when Warner Bros. will be releasing the Batman Vs. Superman trailer?

Now it’s being said the Batman Vs. Superman trailer will be attached to the May 15th release of Mad Max: Fury Road.

Apparently the online chatter is stating WB doesn’t want to release the Batman Vs. Superman trailer while Avengers 2 is showing (plus the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer) and wants to wait a bit until mid-May with Mad Max so they can have the attention soley centered on Batman Vs. Superman.

Per the norm, consider this another rumor as nothing officialy has been announced, but since Mad Max is a WB movie, this has been just about everyone’s guess.

Update: Variety is reporting the Batman Vs. Superman trailer is confirmed for Mad Max.

Watch the Batman vs Superman Comic-Con trailer:

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Ben Affleck Will Be Able To Turn Head As Batman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19875:]]

It’s learned the redesign of the new Batman suit for Batman Vs. Superman will make the costume more comfortable and flexible for Ben Affleck.

Costume designer Michael Wilkinson, who also worked on Man Of Steel, told fashionista.com that getting the new Batman suit right was paramount to director Zack Snyder.

“That’s actually one of the first things that Snyder mentioned to me in one of our initial meetings,” Wilkinson said. “It’s a very important thing to Zack that the Batsuit would be comfortable and very flexible, but then would be able to perform in a very natural and forceful way. So a lot of incredible engineering went into the development of the new black cowl.”

Interestingly enough, when Ben Affleck was cast as the new Batman, Christian Bale’s advice for Affleck was “to tell the costume designer to make sure the cowl doesn’t feel like the Joker is sitting on your shoulders every time you try to turn your head.”

Bale also said it took three people 20 minutes to take the cowl off of his head and that he found it “ridiculously unheroic” when he needed help to “take a pee.”

So actually it sounds as if Zack Snyder is going for a more realistic approach for his new Batman costume than even Christopher Nolan’s approach, and the Batman costume has come a long way from the Michael Keaton design, which had no neck movement at all.

Update: THR has further comments from Wilkinson where it doesn’t sound as if the new Ben Affleck costume is all that more convenient.

“It does involve multiple costumers,” admitted costume designer Michael Wilkinson, adding that turning the actor into the DC Entertainment superhero is “not the sort of thing that I could just sit in Ben’s trailer and he gets into it himself. It’s a six-handed operation.” 

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Henry Cavill Reveals New Batman Vs. Superman Details

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19854:]]

Henry Cavill was a presenter at the Empire Awards recently where he recently offered up details about Batman Vs. Superman.

Two interesting details come from the discussion in that:

1) Cavill is asked when the last time he wore the Superman suit to which he replied when they filmed in New Mexico. It’s thought the New Mexico shoot, which took place near the end of filming, was for Wonder Woman’s home of Themyiscira. So it’s possible we’ll see Superman with the Amazons in some capacity.

2) Henry Cavill is also asked how badly he hurts Batman in the movie, with Cavill replying, “Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about that [laughs]. I wish I could. Believe me.” The interviewer then mentions “a firm hand shake,” with Cavill confirming: “There is  firm hand shake at some stage. Yes.”

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film.

Ben Affleck Confirms Senator Patrick Leahy For Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19846:]]

Ben Affleck recently testified at a Senate Hearing to discuss foreign aid and diplomacy for Congo.

While addressing the committee, Affleck confirmed that Senator Patrick Leahy has a role in Batman Vs. Superman.

“To Senator Leahy, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge my co-star in Batman,” Affleck said. “The role is marginally smaller than mine but I understand you’re quite good.” 

The Vermont Democrat was previously rumored for the movie, and Batman Vs. Superman does have scenes set in Washington D.C.

Patrick Leahy also appeared in 1997’s Batman and Robin, 2008’s The Dark Knight, and 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Affleck makes the statement around the 1:45 mark in the following video.

First Look At Jesse Eisenberg As Lex Luthor In Batman Vs Superman

With Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice coming out exactly one year from today, we have our first look at Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in Batman Vs. Superman in addition to comments by director Zack Snyder:

He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure, other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.

Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake. He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.

Gal Gadot Talks Wonder Woman Criticism & Powers

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19757:]]

Gal Gadot will first be featured in Batman Vs. Superman prior to her Wonder Woman standalone movie and Justice League.

Gadot, who previously had roles in the Fast and Furious movies, is more known for being an Israeli supermodel, which is what caused a lot of controversy amongst the hardcore fans.

When Gadot was announced as Wonder Woman, some on the internet complained she was too skinny for the role.

Now in a new interview, Gal Gadot responds to the critcism (via robotunderdog).

I’m really lucky nothing in my life was instantaneous. When I was younger I would take criticism really hard. But now it mostly amused me. The true amazons had one boob so it won’t bother them in their archery. So it’s not going to be like real amazons. We always try to make everyone happy but we can’t.

Gadot continues by commenting on the fact that her breast size became a matter of international discussion.

No. After they asked me here, In Israel, if I have eating disorders and why am I so skinny, they said my head was too big and my body was like a broomstick I can take anything. It’s just empty talk. I understand that part of what I’m doing means being exposed. And part of being exposed is being under fire (criticism).

The actress also recounts how she leared she got the part. 

I never had to wait so long for a reply. It was a month and a half of torture. It was a crazy roller-coaster. I couldn’t talk about it to anyone. On the day they promised a reply I was flying to NY for another gig. When the plane landed I saw I had a lot of missed calls. I called my agent still sitting in the plane with the belt on. She told me ‘ Congratulations! You got the part.’ During the flight I set next to a really nice man. A scientist from The Weizmann Institute of Science. He talked the entire flight about quantum physics. Now, imagine me, sitting on the plane, looking for a little piece of privacy, burring my head between my legs and starting to scream ‘Oh my god!’ again and again, because I just can’t believe it. Then I hang up the phone and he looks at me like ‘what just happened?’ and asks if everything is alright. I tell him ‘ I can’t really say anything but you will probably read about it tomorrow in the paper.‘

Gadot also mentions Wonder Woman’s powers, where she says Wonder Woman doesn’t fly. 

She has unbelievable endurance. She is exceptionally strong. She can jump really high and practically fly. She know tons of martial arts styles. She is a strong and serious Woman.

Check out the latest pics of Gal Gadot from her official Facebook page:

Dwayne Johnson Says Black Adam May Join Justice League

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19741:]]

Putting the puzzle pieces together: 1) It is Dwayne Johnson, and 2) Black Adam is being said to be an anti-hero and not a straight-up villain; so it’s not a stretch to think that at some point down the line Johnson’s Black Adam could lean more toward the superhero side of things.

That is pretty much what IGN says to Dwayne Johnson in the following video when they ask if Johnson thinks Black Adam could eventually join the Justice League.

Dwayne Johnson agrees, but also implies Black Adam has to go a more darker route to get there as he offers, “At first, daddy’s got to go to work,” which also hints at Black Adam kicking some butt and clashing with other heroes.

As it stands right now, Shazam has a 2019 release, but Dwayne Johnson also previously said that the movie might get an earlier release.

Here is the text of Johnson’s response.

I think so, and I think you always want to leave that creatively open, that he could join the Justice League, and I think that’s the fun part of creating this character right now and everybody involved, from studio, from New Line, to Warner Bros. as well, to the writer, our producing partners — you you definitely want to engage in his heroic side.

But that has to be earned, and with a mythology and the mythology of Black Adam starting off as a slave – because when you start off as a slave – just inherently, there’s things in your DNA — that piss you off [lughs]. And that’s the bottom line, so I think we have to respect and pay homage to the true mythology, and then the heroic side will come down the line.

But I think it’s important, and I feel we all feel it’s important and I believe the fans at IGN feel it’s important, to make sure the homage is paid at the beginning because then you have a stronger foundation to stand on, and so he will become an anti-hero, but at first — daddy’s got to go to work.
