So Batfleck might not be so bad!
During Comic Con, the latest trailer for the upcoming Superman sequel, Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, showed us more of what to expect from the growing DC cinematic universe. What that means is more Superman, more Batman, being able to see Wonder Woman in action, and a very un-bald Lex Luthor.
It’s clear that the U.S. Government felt the same as most Man of Steel viewers when it came to its final battle, placing sole blame on Superman for the near destruction of Metropolis. Perhaps a bigger enemy to have than Washington is the goddamn Batman, who is known for not taking personal loss too well. After one of Wayne Enterprises’ buildings, (and likely hundreds of employees), became collateral damage during the showdown with Zod, Bruce is making it his personal mission to take the Kryptonian threat down.
There are way too many references to go over for one article, but it’s clear from the trailer that the team is working VERY hard to bring this seasoned, grief stricken Batman to life, all while planting the seeds for many of the biggest DC storylines that helped us fall in love with them in the first place. The mythos run deep here! And by the way, let’s just take a minute to acknowledge how badass Wonder Woman looks in this!
What references can you spot after watching the trailer below? Had your opinion changed over Ben Affleck as Batman yet? And what do you think of the direction of the film? Personally, I went from not caring at all, to being on edge over how this will play out. Mission accomplished, right?
Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice will release on March 25, 2016.
