Warner Bros. has unveiled a pair of new posters for the highly anticipatedBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which believe it or not has just a little over a month to go before release. From the beginning, the marketing for the film has been pretty spot on—and for good reason. With a title like “Batman v Superman” there’s a huge opportunity to highlight both sides of the titular conflict, and from the onset we gota pair ofverydifferent postersthat focused on each DC superhero. Honestly those posters were pretty tough to beat, but today’s pair of quad one-sheets does offer a different kind of POV twist, as each poster shows one side of a heated fistfight between the central duo.
Visually,Zack Snyderfeels like the right guy to bring this battle to fruition onscreen. We’ve seen through various trailers that we’re in for an epic superhero showdown, and the conflict that results whenHenry Cavill’s superhuman Superman andBen Affleck’s grizzled Batman throw down will no doubt be explosive. Will the film itself be any good? There’s reason to hope so, from Oscar-winningArgoscreenwriterChris Terrio’s involvement to the wildly impressive ensemble that featuresHolly Hunter,Jesse Eisenberg,Scoot McNairyandJeremy Irons, in addition to returningMan of SteelactorsAmy AdamsandLaurence Fishburne. And then, of course, there’s the introduction ofGal Gadot’s Wonder Woman to look forward to.This is absolutely a make-or-break movie for Warner Bros., but I’m hopeful that Snyder and Co. have delivered a compelling and dynamic introduction to the larger DC Cinematic Universe.
