Welcome to 2007 brah

Official Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Is Lex that big of a danger or is there something else in the film I wonder.

Ah i'd love that, assuming it was done well.

I like Doomsday in the comics...be hard to fit Batman vs Superman, the whole Dawn of Justice plot and Doomsday into one film though.

They probably can't go with Darkseid as he and Thanos are way too similar, even in appearance.

I'm guessing the end of this film will led into Justice League so perhaps the villian the Batman and Superman team up against wins and they both have to from the Justice league ?

Aquaman/Atlantis would be my guess.

Because of the word "arises"?

Why not? I'm sure the synopsis for a movie that cost a couple of hundred million dollars to make wasn't just slapped together at the last minute by an intern.

A war with Atlantis would make sense given the events of Man of Steel, and it would be a good way introduce Aquaman, who we know is in the movie. It's also a story line from the New52 version of the Aquaman comic book.

That's pretty much the most tenuous argument for a potential plot line I've ever heard... I'm actually impressed.

Ok so this is obviously fan made. But I think its very cool

Affleck describes Batman as being the American version of Hamlet, saying “We accept that he’s played by actors with different interpretations.”

Ben Affleck's Batman will be an older, more tired version of the character. “He’s at the end of his run and maybe the end of his life," said Affleck. "There’s this sort of world-weariness to it.”

As photos have revealed, Ben Affleck looks the part of an older Bruce Wayne with gray streaks in his hair. What is most interesting is that EW also reveals a description of Wayne Maynor, which is said to be "a desolate husk, overtaken by weeds and water-stains after years of neglect."

This is one great cover to look at.

^^^ That is a terrible, terrible Wonder Woman. Completly missing the point of the character.

WW is supposed to be a strong Amzonian warrior, the actress they picked doesnt have the body type for it. WW needs to have muscle definition, strong toned arms and legs, not perfect hair and lipstick. The actress looks like she going to be pouting and flicking her hair throughout her part.

That is one version of Wonder Woman. Many of the comic book and animation versions fit Gal's physique....

And here's me thinking WW has always been portrayed as a polished beauty, you know, in the source material.

Some versions have her as an Amazonian warrior. Some have her as a princess out of Greek mythology. I get the impression this portrayal will be a little bit of both. An elegance, yet fierce.

Also, I find the criticism from people a bit hypocritical given Eisenberg's Luthor seems to be an even bigger departure from the source than Gadot's WW, yet nothing is said.

Finally, Gadot has been in the gym since she got this part so I wouldn't read too much into an airbrushed EW cover. She will have tone and definition. She has bigger legs than mine anyway. :P

The last image is amazing. Luthor seems odd, but I do actually have quite a lot of faith in Eisenberg. He's someone that can go from goofy to utter menace with ease.

Genuinely embarrassed for you if that's true

Eisenberg has the effortless cuntness about him though , I think he'll be great in the role and i think the non bald look is good for him , Because i think it wouldn't suit him at all being bald but who know's maybe he'll shave it in the movie much like Shane did in the Walking Dead as a moment of madness/clarity

McLoughlin

I waiting for the purists to go up in arms "Lex should be bald" "this movie is going to be crap because Lex has hair"

Jon Stark

I think Lex is bald, that's just a wig.

Eisenberg definitely shaved his head for the role.

Batman looks really happy here (with a hint of evil) :pac:

I know it's all make believe, but even within the pretend physics of the DC universe, how on earth is Batman v Superman going to look anything other than ridiculous.

A comparison might be in Avengers when Hulk picks up Loki and smashes him repeatedly back and forward into the ground. Fight over in 1.5 seconds with Loki only surviving because he was an immortal.

The first image there is a fake, isn't it? none of that fight took part indoors like that, iirc.

Nice.....very nice

Jesse Eisenberg's Lex seems very weird.

Also, that quick shot of Zod in the body bag is a strong indication that the rumours about Doomsday are true.

splashthecash

That actually looks great - really looking forward to this!!

And I thought the Jesus imagery in Man of Steel lacked subtlety...

Looks like Snyder has quadrupled down on everything I hated about the first film, as expected. Even that trailer was more self-important, weightless, CG-saturated nonsense than I'm comfortable with Hope people enjoy the finished project and fair play to Snyder for making what seems like the ultimate realisation of his directorial style, but as meaningless as it is I am well and truly out.

Oh. Wow.

This looks. Amazing.

So Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor appears to be leaning towards Hackman's interpretation? Seems so.

What I really like is the fact that they're acknowledging that Superman did destroy a large part of Metropolis, which is where Wayne was. Unless there was similar destruction in Gotham?

Affleck looks like he's going to really pull this out of the bag and give a fantastic performance.

I don't think Snyder ever tried to hide the god like comparisons. Not like the trailer spelt it out either with Bruce's line about Clark having the potential to wipe out the world.

You're complaining about them supposedly hiding something. ...that they never tried to hide.

What Jesus imagery are you referring to? How they portray Superman? Or something else?

You can clearly see that its Zod destroying the building in the scene where he first uses heat vision. It turned out to be a Wayne building.

The shot where he's hovering bathed in heavenly light above the people stranded in the flood i'd imagine.
