As the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con is now less than a week away, the studios are gearing up to show off what they have to offer in the worlds of science fiction, fantasy, romance, adventure and, of course, superheroics. With Marvel’s Cinematic Universe skipping this year (the TV shows will represent), Warner Bros. and DC are naturally going big with their efforts. Some new images from Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice have emerged via Entertainment Weekly.
As you’ll know by now, the film finds Kal-El (Henry Cavill) going toe-to-toe (or cape-to-cowl) with Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) as a world-weary Batman decides that Superman is just too much of a threat to ignore. And while the idea of Bats taking on Supes would seem to be along the lines of a bicycle battling a tank, Wayne is coming loaded for alien bear, with a reinforced suit that enhances his strength and some handy Kryptonite for making the fight a little more equal.
Also present? Wonder Woman, played here by Gal Gadot, and seen in the picture swanking it up in Diana Prince mode, attracting the attention of Bruce. “I love the fact that there was this Thomas Crown Affair, Bond-y sexy scene that they wrote about two people who are pretending to be two different people who each know the secrets of the other person,” Affleck tells EW.
And of course, while Batman and Superman are destined to become besties (all right, colleagues) in the Justice League, there is a real threat present in the film, with Jesse Eisenberg playing classic villain Lex Luthor, here a billionaire who can apparently afford hair. Which will be gone soon enough. For more from the movie, head to EW’s site.
With Zack Snyder once again marshalling the madness and Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher and more expected on screen, **Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice **will be out on March 25 next year.
